Which foods would you choose to put in your medicine bag?

The desert is a place of vegetation and abundant flowers throughout the year.  In this workshop, we are learning how the Native Americans knew that the different flowering colors flagged the emergence of new "products" for their "medicine chests."

 

You are learning what plants to use and how to use them correctly.

 

·   Plant identification techniques

·   Ethical harvesting and safety considerations

·   Creating tinctures, salves, infusions, decoctions, etc.
