Medicine Making Workshop
Contact Alyce to express your interest & set a date for a crafternoon
Herbal Body Oils are a deeply nourishing self care treatment, practiced by countless ancient cultures throughout history to support whole body health, healing and beauty both internally and externally.
Our ancestors have been crafting herbal oils for thousands of years to successfully treat an array of ailments including skin and wound conditions, acute and chronic pain, injuries and first aid, breaks, topical infections and multi-system detoxification.
Herbal infused oils or medicated oils as they are known in Ayurveda, are a timeless treatment which not only supports the health and youthful appearance of our skin, but also works in tandem to fortify our immune system, stimulate our lymphatic system, balance our digestive system and nourish our nervous system.
When herbal oiling is practiced regularly, we are gifting ourselves the opportunity to balance and retrain long held patterns of stress and anxiety which run throughout our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual planes.
The medicine making techniques shared in this workshop draw on ancient herbal wisdom, practiced once upon a time when pharmacies were true botanical apothecaries and focused on healing and recovery through plants as medicine.

Thank you Alyce for your incredible passion and knowledge about plants and oils! After attending your workshop 'The Beauty of Body Oils' I left feeling inspired and excited. I have even made my own Calendula Oil and am loving the benefits. It was a lovely circle of women and a beautiful Sunday morning.

I've been using Alyce's Oil of St John’s Wort for the last few months and I can honestly say I think it’s made a difference to my mood. I feel a lot lighter, when I put it on I feel a calming energy. I think this is a beautiful product which feels alive. As long as Alyce continues to make her oils I will continue to use them. A very happy customer.

Alyce crafts absolutely divine body oils! Their fragrance is light, but oil is deluxe and for me that was an incredible and perfect balance.
