Participants will join Jane-Ellen Ross, a fifth-generation Ozark woman, at her home in rural eastern Washington County to learn the process of making and using herbal salves and tinctures. These remedies are crafted from home-grown or wild-harvested medicinal plants. The class covers which plants can be safely used, how to gather and prepare them responsibly, and the step-by-step methods for creating tinctures and salves. Participants will also learn guidelines for safe and effective use in daily life. Attendees will take home a small tin of salve, a small bottle of tincture, and basic recipes for making their own preparations
