Break it Down

This 4 week course will introduce you to a new solvent each week. You will learn both folk and mathematical extraction techniques, commonly used herbs and fungi to add to your home apothecary, plus bonus material on harvesting and storing your herbs. 

Learning modules will be a combination of slide presentations, instructor commentary, and follow-along videos. 

What is a solvent?

When making herbal remedies, the solvent is the raw liquid or semi solid chosen to extract the healing elements, or constituents, from your herb.

In this course, we will be exploring the most common solvents used to make herbal remedies: water, oil, vinegar, alcohol, and glycerin (plus a few honorable mentions). 

What is a constituent? 

Each medicinal herb is loaded with phytochemistry: small but mighty molecules that contribute to the healing potential of the plant (or fungus). 

Learn some of the most common herbal constituents - polysaccharides, tannins, saponins, and carotenoids, to name a few - and how to choose the best solvent to create the most potent remedies.
