Our apothecary classes focused on how to use a variety of herbs for their healing properties. Students collected herbs from the apothecary gardens and the natural environment on campus. They used the botany book to identify herbs and discover their properties. The products students created this semester included: beeswax lip balm, cooling tea, lavender oil essences, beeswax candles, incense, sore throat pastilles and immune system-building oils. Students learned that different plants’ healing properties are harvested from different parts of the plants.
