SEASONAL WORKSHOPS WITH ARIELLE DE MARTINEZ
Herbal Oils & Fats
By Arielle de Martinez and Meg Edwards
Discover the power of whole plant medicine and create your own potent and powerful herb infused oils and fats for yourself and your community!
Are you ready to start making your own herbal body oils, but feeling intimidated by it?
Maybe you have tried already, but something was "off."
Maybe your oils weren't as potent as the ones you buy from your local herbalist...
Maybe there was a funky smell, or something went rancid before you were even able to use them.
There are many ways that one can go about making an infused oil--it's overwhelming!
When can you use fresh herbs? Dried? What about resins? Hemp flower?
Then you have your carrier--what type of oil should you use? Can you swap it for tallow? What about cocoa butter?
How do I prevent rancidity without having to use a preservative?
If these questions have been echoing in your mind every time you are wanting to start working with whole plant medicine, my herbalist friend Meg Edwards (Flora Wellness) and I have an incredible workshop for you that you won't want to miss!
Bring whole plant medicine to your home, your community, and your business in the form of infused herbal oils and fats!

Meet your Mentors
Hi! I am Arielle.
As a medicine maker, I always find magic in the way that herbs choose for themselves to be crafted. I will never forget the first herbal oil I made, a pairing that appeared in my head in the form of an idea when I was out in the garden.
Over time, my herbal oils have become more and more potent and powerful, and when I began selling them in my apothecary, people were enchanted by their subtle smell and nourishing application.
Herbal oils are a great introduction to whole plant medicine, and I am so excited to help you on your journey to making your own, whether for your family, your community, or to up level your business!
Meg Edwards @florawellness
I have been passionately studying herbal medicine for a decade now. What started out as a hobby, and a means by which I was able to heal my own health issues, has become my full time work. I forage the herbs, process the wild-crafted plants, formulate & test the products, design the labels... and this one woman show has grown a lot over the past few years.
Whether you are interested in taking a workshop or are just curious about herbal medicine, my goal is to support you on your journey of achieving the birthright of vibrant health. I'm glad you found your way here.
No more guessing games, no more toxins--start creating the oils and products that you can feel confident to use on yourself and your family. Join us!

Folk Method: fresh and dried options
Rehydration Method (and its alternatives)
Blender Method: fresh and dried, fast and "slow" methods
