Winter Medicine Making

This is a wholesome and nourishing way to spend an evening, coming together as a community and making Fire Cider Vinegar as a group.  It's tough finding the time to make your own healing tincture for the winter season, but many hands make light work.  By coming together and making together, we get to have an enjoyable evening, learn a new skill and take home a healing herbal blend.

Fire cider vinegar is a herbal health tonic made with raw apple cider vinegar and a variety of warming

and stimulating herbs such as fresh ginger, garlic, onions, chillies, turmeric, rosemary and other spices.

The herbs and spices are steeped in the vinegar for 6 weeks and then strained. The resulting medicine

can be taken twice a day to boost the immune system, improve digestion, and prevent cold or flu...

amongst other benefits.

In this workshop Andrea will talk with us about the wonders of some of our staple kitchen ingredients and

show us how simple and satisfying it can be to make our own medicines. She will also be speaking

about special additions for calming the nervous system, stimulating circulation, regulating our digestion,

and naturally reducing inflammation in the body.

Participants will all get the chance to make and bring home a jar of their very own fire cider vinegar.

Andrea Hosfeld is a herbalist and educator who has been teaching workshops for the last 18 years.
