From the garden to the medicine chest

If you view a trip down the cleaning aisle in the grocery store as a full-frontal assault on the olfactory system, your body is telling you something, and it pays to listen.
These chemical-laden products have a negative effect on our health.

We are inundated with toxins from our household cleaners to the products we slather our bodies with every time we shower. 

My journey into herbalism has taken me down old pathways, investigating old ways of living. Before the supermarkets or Walmart came to be.

What I have found is that we have healthy alternatives at our fingertips, and many of the natural products we use to clean our homes can also cross over into other areas, such as personal health care for you and your pets.

This results in less packaging, travel time, storage space, and, for pennies on the dollar, solutions for many of our daily needs.

In this workshop, you will learn:-

How herbs are more effective against harmful pathogens than bleach, and how to turn them into practical applications-

Discover the many uses of baking soda, vinegar, and borax with recipes. You don't need a different product for every job.-

How to make a natural pine cleaning product that rivals one of the most popular on the market, using pine needles any time of the year-

DIY garlic spray that will eliminate pests like aphids, spider mites and powdery mildew-

How to make a cost-effective DIY Laundry soap that is effective at lifting and removing stains and won't leave residue-

We will demonstrate how to make a simple household cleaner with castile soap and essential oils that will cut kitchen grease like nothing else.

Handmade natural cleaning products are inexpensive, easy to make, non-toxic and make your house smell like an apothecary or a garden, rather than chemically cleansed and purified.
These handmade products can also serve as a useful, heartfelt gift this holiday season without breaking the bank.
