Homemade Herbal Infusions and Serums

This workshop will introduce participants to the topic of herbal infusions as medicinal products as well as skin care products. Instructor Erin Sprinkle of Brunswick, ME will give an overview of commonly used herbs and oils and their beneficial properties. Participants will be given a self assessment to determine skin type, and use this assessment to create a personally tailored herbal oil infusion. Participants will then learn to make a skin serum with the herbal infusion as its foundation.

All participants will leave the workshop with recipes, instructions, a quart of personally tailored herbal infused oil, and a 4 oz skin serum which they have created.

All supplies are included.

We will be using:
22oz glass mason jars and lids
4 oz brown glass dropper bottles
Bottle labels
cheese cloths (for straining)
Jojoba, Coconut and Olive oils
Vitamin E
Essential oils
Dried herbs and flowers
Printed handouts to take home (skin assessment, recipes, facial massage chart)

Minimum participants: 5
Maximum: 14

Erin first became interested in herbalism after a long bout of antibiotics left her with skin sensitivities and a chronic rash that traditional allopathic doctors failed to treat. In fact, the harsh chemicals and additives in most over-the-counter and prescription topicals made the condition worse! Turning to the ancient wisdom of botanical medicine, she was able to not only cure her skin ailments, but discover a whole world of knowledge exists which can empower us to take our healing and care into our own hands using the amazing plants around us. Erin is self-taught and has been making her own herbal remedies, skin treatments, and care products for about 13 years.
