The next two weekend-long classes form the basis of Dreamtime's new Herbal Apothecary track. Medicines made will stock the Apothecary of the Dreamtime Clinic. Each day is full of demonstrations, lectures and laboratory work. Bring brown bag lunches and a dish for the potluck supper if you plan to stay overnight. Price includes all materials and lab fees.
Students take home product samples from the days efforts, as well as charts and reference materials.
A lecture on how to set up an Apothecary will also orient us as we co-create the Herbal Apothecary. We will demystify the process and reveal the intricacies of extracting the medicinal properties of herbs in mixed menstruums of brandy, glycerin, vinegar and honey.

August 11 Medicines from the Garden We will use plants harvested from the Dreamtime's biodynamic gardens to concoct oils, salves, gels, ointments and lotions. Following standards set forth by the FDA and USDA, we will create the new Dreamtime Herbal Apothecary label for all products made to date.
