3. The First Aid Garden
Maria Noel Groves
Wintergreen Botanicals
Learn how to use common cultivated and wild backyard herbs (featured in Maria’s book Grow Your Own Herbal Remedies) to build your own herbal first aid kit, focusing on herbs that you can use topically for a range of uses including aches and pains, sprains, bumps, bruises, bug bites, bee stings, wounds, rashes, burns, herpes, cuts, to repel ticks and biting insects, and more. Herbalist Maria takes you out into the field to show you how to make a spit poultice with yarrow leaves, and you learn how to make herb-infused oils and other topical remedies.
Below is a downloadable PDF “handout” to help get you started.
