Making Herbs Simple Vol 1

Subscribe to my blog <look, top right>  and enter to win the Best Selling Beginner Herb DVD! You’ll even see me in there making garlic poultices and learning how to dry herbs. The winner will be randomly chosen Monday, April 13th. Keep checking in!

Making Herbs Simple DVD is a fabulous way to have fun with your kids and learn at the same time!

Shoshanna will teach you to identify the herbs in your own back yard and how to use them. Viewers will be taken step-by -step to find, wash, dry, and store herbs, along with many practical tips.

The video begins with a ‘How To Find Herbs’ segment. Ten common herbs are found in the wild and information on how to use each herb is presented. How-to segments follow with: How to Dry Herbs, Making Glycerin Tinctures, Alcohol Tinctures, Vinegar Tinctures, Garlic Poultices, and a Plantain Poultice. There is also a hilarious bonus section that demonstrates a beautiful hair treatment.

A companion guide is included that is packed full of facts, images, and written directions to jump start your herbal experience. We have heard over and over again that kids LOVE this video. Parents can use it as a fun summer project or an addition to homeschooling curriculum.

    Kim,
    Thanks! I’m glad you’re here!
    I just began learning about herbs 3 1/2 years ago after the birth of my first child. It’s been a lot of fun and really rewarding discovering a few of the things God created for us. :-)

    I’m another amateur herbalist-in-the-making…. I began learning about alternative remedies four years ago, but I’ve only begun serious concentration on herbs in the last year. I’m always up for another resource!

    Anyway, I’m a subscriber on google reader. :)

    It occurred to me that to enter the giveaway perhaps we have to be subscribed on email in particular, not just on a blog reader?

    Anyway, I subscribed by email, just in case. ;)

    I’m so excited to find you! I love herbology and have been studying with Shonda Parker’s materials. It’s been a hobby for a couple of years now and have about 65 (!) different herbs collected so far. However, I haven’t used them all yet…I’m hoping to start doing more. Your blog has made me want to start some new projects!

    I just joined – I can’t wait to learn more! I’ve been growing herbs for about 3 years now. I only use them in the kitchen, but I want to grow more that can be used for health purposes. Teach me please!!!!

    Another person that’s found you via Passionate Homemaking. :-) I’m hoping to learn more about herbal remedies this year. I received two books last year as a gift and spotted a new one this week that I bought. This DVD sounds like another great resource as well. Looking forward to learning more from your archived posts – so exciting!
