Our Sage Herbal Foundations students get lots of hands on experience.
During last Sunday's TIncture Making Class, students spent time in the lab with our lab manager Yaremi, learning to make their own percolations at home!
The learning moved out doors to our local community garden Harlan Wolfe Gardens to harvest their very own herbs to make fresh herb tinctures.
In these early fall months plants are beginning to seed; the perfect time to harvest nettle seeds for fresh tinctures!
The herbalist says: All parts of the Nettle plant are useful medicine. Nettle leaf tincture is a powerful adrenal tonic, and an excellent allergy aid, and to relieve excess menses. Nettle roots are tinctured and used for bladder control and to support the prostate. Nettle seeds have an extraordinary ability to rejuvenate weakened and scarred kidneys.
