Tending to our bodies with plants we've grown or foraged ourselves is one of the most grounding rituals there is. This month we take the fullness of the summer garden and put it on our skin — turning calendula, lavender, plantain, self heal, yarrow, and comfrey into an infused oil, a combined healing salve, and a cooling spray that handles everything summer throws at you.
We'll make
- An herbal infused oil — the foundation of almost all plant-based body care
- A combined everyday and healing salve — one beautiful multi-purpose recipe for summer skin, bug bites, bruises, and scrapes
- A sun-soothing cooling spray with peppermint, plantain & lavender — perfect for hot skin, sun exposure, and yes, pesky poison ivy
Featured Plants: Calendula, lavender, plantain, peppermint, self heal, yarrow, comfrey
