The day begins with a brief look at the botany of this important family containing mints, thyme, rosemary, sage, betony and many other useful herbs. Many, but not all the herbs looked at are Mediterranean in origin and we compare these with our own native family members. From combating infections to aiding digestion, and memory we can take care of our whole body with Labiatae herbs. A very practical, “hands-on” opportunity will follow, getting to know the herbs and their properties. We will be making fragrant recipes, including an aromatic water, and make blends for teas, a cream and washes to suit holiday needs. These will include those both to protect against and to treat insect bites, while others combat infections and aid digestion of unfamiliar food.
