What to expect

A balm is a versatile salve or ointment forming a semi-protective aromatic remedy that can be made in a variety of ways to suit a variety of uses, from a chest rub to a pulse-point solid perfume or traditionally as a cure-all remedy balm for scrapes and grazes. This workshop explores the different ways of making plant-based natural balms, and their uses. We also explore how to incorporate specific herbs of our choice into the balms.
