How to Make an Herbal Tincture

This is a comprehensive workshop where you will learn how to made tinctures (an alcohol extract of herbs) for internal and external use. Participants will prepare a tincture with both fresh and a dry plant material in class together, and they will get to take home a sample that we press in class.

This class will cover:
- standardized tincture making from fresh and dried herbs
- folk tincture making
- how to decide what strength of alcohol should be used for what herb
- how long to let it sit and how to strain it
- how to tell if it's strong enough
- storage
- general dosages/ ways of using your tincture
- where to get herbs and identifying quality material

This is a hands on class, so come ready to help out, measure, pour and wash. Bring an apron, a pen and something to take notes on to recall the knowledge you gain at a later time. I'll provide a handout.
