This event dives into 15 plants generally and commonly used as medicine and 15 plants that are specific to the Ozarks. Participants will learn herbal principles in healing and Heather will cover a variety of common ailments with their traditional plant remedies. She will teach the principles of how to safely make tinctures and salves, allowing participants to create one of each to take home. In the second half of the day, the focus will shift to Ozark-specific plants that can be easily found and sustainably foraged all around us in this region. Heather will cover historic and indigenous uses of these plants and teach participants how to make poultices and teas.
