About The Event
Join Emily Watson of Artemisia Academy and Lanny Kaufer of Ojai Herb Walks for a seasonal workshop on herbal remedies for supporting the immune system and easing coughs and colds. We’ll begin with a 2-hour herb walk to discover native and local plants traditionally used for respiratory health, immunity, and cold-season care. Then, in the hands-on portion, Emily will guide you through making a potent sinus steam and a delicious elderberry syrup. At the end of class, you’ll take home your remedies and the knowledge to make them again.
