Another Herbal Workday has been scheduled.

I'm not exactly sure what the preparations will be. Given that it we will not have had a full flowering of plants, we will be somewhat limited compared to the last Herbal Workday, where we had fresh Comfrey, Hypericum, and Motherwort right out of the garden. Still, I envision the following preparations to be quite possible:

Stomach Syrup
Elderberry Tincture
Healing Mouthwash
Garlic Syrup or Garlic Honey
Arnica Liniment
Rose Vinegar or Rose Liniment
Sleep Pillows
Slippery Elm Lozenges
Echinacea Root Tincture
Plantain Liniment
The Feverbreak Potion
Horehound Cough Syrup
Horseradish Tincture

We will not make the Feverbreak Potion, itself. Rather, we will compile the dry ingredients to send home with you, along with instructions in how to make the potion when it is needed.

Elderberry and Echinacea Root Tinctures can be used after six weeks, but they will be at their strongest after one year.

Garlic Honey and Horseradish Tincture are ready within 24 hours. The Syrups are effective as soon as made,l as are the Mouthwash, the Pillows, and the Lozenges.

So, it will not be a waiting game for everything.
