"In some Native languages the term for plants translates to 'those who take care of us' " - Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass

Herbal body oils have become my greatest ally for self-care. 
I am constantly seeking ways to incorporate more  herbal remedies into my life, and crafting my own  herbal oils to use throughout my days has become my favorite way to commune with the magic of healing plants. I'm so excited to share this skill with you!

why teach about Herbal Body Oils?

About two years ago I discovered the podcast Medicine Stories, created by one of my favorite herbalist, Amber Magnolia Hill. 
In one episode, Amber interviewed her first Herbalism teacher, Kami McBride, on the magic of herbal body oils. I became completely obsessed with the idea of making my very own high quality oils.  
I was living on a permaculture farm at the time and had unlimited access to organically grown herbs such as lavender, rose, and mugwort. 
Out of eagerness to try something new, I attempted to make my very own oil out of these plants… lets just say that because I didn’t exactly know what I was doing I wasted a lot of time and resources. 
My herbal oil experiment turned into a moldy mess after a month of infusing these precious plants in expensive organic olive oil…

I needed guidance, and luckily Kami was offering an online course all about healing herbal oils …

I invested 500$ in the course, and to this day I will say it’s some of the best money I’ve ever spent. If you're interested to learn more you can find all the details on the course here (no, I’m not getting paid to promote this course, I just believe in spreading the good word to my people!)

I now know how to make highly potent and healing herbal body oils for myself and my loved ones. These oils help me tend to my body temple and are an essential part of my daily wellness practice. I use them on my skin and hair for nervous system regulation, self massage, dry skin, sensitive skin, and energetic protection. 

In this online workshop I will pass along the specific method of oil making that I have learned from Kami's course and my personal experiences of success in making making my own herbal oils. You'll leave with the practical knowledge and confidence you need to make your own oils a home for the rest of your life.
