Medicinal Herbs Workshop
Join us to discover the home use of plants and their natural constituents, which can become part of your everyday life.
Daphna Givon presents a workshop at Várzea da Gonçala, covering the following aspects of the use of medicinal herbs:
- Introduction to Natural Medicine
- Extracts in oil, alcohol and water
- Essential oils - distillation and uses
- Natural Pharmacy: making salves, creams and deoderants
- Soaps and liquid soaps
All the products made during the course will be given to the participants to take home, and participants will receive a printed note-book containing the theoretical material of the course, allowing them to be fully present during the teaching, without the need to take notes.
