Many of us enjoy spending time in the wild lands, be it day hikes, backpacking adventures or simple picnics in the great outdoors. Despite our best preparations and efforts at safety, bumps, cuts, scrapes, irritating plants and insects and little bouts of tummy trouble come unannounced. Plants in and around Glacier offer assistance in treating these common ailments. In this class, learn to identify, harvest, dry, store, and create herbal preparations for a variety of first aid situations. Students will make herbal teas, external applications of herbs including poultices and salves and learn how to make liquid extracts like tinctures.
