YOU can learn how to make a mugwort oil as potent as this!

 

 

This hands-on, experiential workshop is an opportunity for you to learn how to make one of the most well known and celebrated herbal infused oils: Mugwort oil. Leave with a bottle of oil to start your body oiling self care practice this summer! 

Mugwort oil is a deep green herbal infused body oil widely known for both its physical and spiritually based affinities, and supports the integration of these two worlds into one being. Mugwort is a moving herb that helps relieve the body of stagnation. Mugwort is also aromatic and helps awaken the senses and bring forth a sense of vitality to the body during times of lethargy. Mugwort aids in the release of tension due to temporary ailments commonly associated with the menstrual cycle such as cramping, ovulatory pain, constipation or abdominal bloating. Mugwort can also help stimulate the lymphatic system and encourage healthy blood flow to occur around dull or damaged skin.

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 mugwort oil

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

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

Herbal oils review: “I could not recommend Selkie Medicinals oils enough!”

“I use Selkie Medicinals mugwort oil to wind down at night - the rich green color and strong scent always feels like a mossy lunar blanket. I could not recommend Selkie Medicinals oils enough!  -Noëlle C, artist.

 
 

Mugwort grows abundantly locally, making this oil one you could potentially make with ethically wild foraged herbs.
