Description

Come and discover the plants that surround us: calendula, St John’s wort, plantain and yarrow… and learn how to make preparations using plants and simple ingredients, such as oil macerates. Open every day.
We will look at the properties of wild plants, how to recognise them and how to gather them. We will also look at choosing plant oils and the various methods for preparing oil macerates. You will make your own medicinal balm tailored to your needs and using the ingredients provided. You’ll be able to make a balm for insect bites and itchy skin, bruises and contusions, a blocked nose, cuts and grazes, aches and muscle pain… You’ll leave with one personalised preparation, along with a leaflet on medicinal plants and the recipe for making it. The workshop can be a great addition to your hiking trips.
