This hands-on, experiential workshop is an opportunity for you to learn how to infuse herbs into one of the most well known and celebrated oils: Castor oil. Leave with a bottle of herbal infused castor oil to start your castor oil pack application this summer! 

Castor oil is a perfect medium to deepen the delivery of herbs that promote lymphatic health, reproductive and breast health. Castor oil has been clinically shown to reduce inflammation and promote immune health by way of the lymphatic system. This thick, viscous oil is often applied atop the pelvis, liver, thyroid, and breasts to encourage circulation through the soft tissue of the body. It is the perfect oil to have on hand to encourage rest and rejuvenation. 

Many people misunderstand how to make herbal oils, making them in ways that result in lackluster oil that is not as potent as it could be. By coming to this workshop, you’ll learn how to make high quality calendula oil, as well as its therapeutic properties. You’ll learn my refined techniques for oil crafting as you spend ample time with this special flower, including tips and suggestions that I’ve picked up over years of making my own oils and applying them effectively to clients, myself, and loved ones like.

It’s the perfect time of the year to come together with others to learn about herbal remedy crafting, utilizing this years’ herbal bounty. Spending time with plants and making natural remedies with our hands can be an incredibly grounding and healing experience in and of itself. I’m truly looking forward to supporting you to stock your home apothecary with healing remedies during this workshop.

During this workshop, you will:

• Learn the basic healing properties and beneficial uses of castor oil

• Learn how to make an infused castor oil under the guidance of an experienced herbalist

• Learn which herbs are most conducive to infusing into castor oil and how to apply a castor oil pack for optimal application of your oil 

• Leave with a 1oz bottle of whole plant infused castor oil (retail value $13) 

Please note: Castor oil is traditionally not recommended if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or have an IUD. If any of these situations apply to you, you can still attend the workshop for educational purposes, give your bottle to a loved one, and share what you learn during class with community members who castor oil is currently indicated for.
