What will I do on a herbal remedies course?
Led by Nicola, our Herbal Remedies day takes on 2 main components:
- Firstly the identification and collection of native plants that have herbal uses and then
- The preparation of some herbal remedies.
From the meeting point we’ll take you for a gentle walk around our woodland, surrounding hedgerows and meadows and show you the many trees and plants that have herbal uses. We’ll concentrate on positive identification and uses as well discussing classification, composition and indications.
We’ll collect some of these plants and discuss how to store them and how to make various types of remedy such as:
- Infused oils,
- Tinctures,
- Decoctions,
- Infusions,
- Ointments etc.
We’ll prepare and try out a selection of herbal infusions and then make some herbal remedies; this is likely to include a number of creams and ointments.
If you wish to take any of the remedies home with you, there’ll be a small fee to cover our costs.

Spent a wonderful day in beautiful Westwell on the Herbal Remedies Course. I learned so much, which I will be putting to good use in my practise. Hoping to go back there again soon for another of their courses.
Just did the foraging course with my 9 year old daughter where you forage and make remedies etc. was fantastic- would highly recommend.
