Herbal Infused Oils Workshop

Have you ever made a salve and thought you did a pretty good job – until you tried someone else’s and thought… how did they do that? Yours was good. Theirs was great.

This happened in my own kitchen. Multiple batches, years of experimenting – moldy oils, medicine I wasn’t sure even made it into the oil, products that didn’t last. Sound familiar? I was frustrated. Curious. Where was I missing the mark?

What hurt the most was the cost of learning. Plants I’d grown or foraged, oils I’d sourced with care. They gave everything they had – and it felt like I wasn’t honouring them.

Everything changed when I realized there was far more to preparing herbal infused oils than the pour and store method. Once I got into the details, the nitty gritty, my oils went from good to great.

And I want to bring you along for that learning.

So you can prepare oils for salves, lip balms, body butters, shampoos and more – that are potent, shelf-stable, and truly honour the plants and their medicine.
