Major leaps forward on the renovation since I last posted 💚 Looks like I'll be able to 'soft open' the new apothecary in week. Come by to have a peek in the windows while I finish things up. If you need something in the meantime, give me a call. Much love and blessings ~ Heather

Let's talk economy for a minute.
Folks ask me why I teach tincture making chemistry, potentially training competitors. My answer is that I'm training colleagues.

I don't buy into that competition mindset. Operating from a place of cooperation and wanting the next generations to have all the tools to take care of themselves and their community is my way.

To that end, This Saturday and yearly for the past 26 years, I'll be teaching a four hour workshop on the chemistry of making tinctures, glycerites and herb infused vinegars.

So here's something financial to consider: a two months supply of tinctures, depending on expertise, quality and herbs used will cost between $100 to $200 retail.

The tuition for workshop I teach is $75 for 4 hours of instruction. Expertise develops over time and practice. You can grow your own fresh herbs for tincturing or many fresh herbs are available at the Farmers Market and in grocery store produce sections. If herbs and extracting menstruums are purchased, with training and expertise a person can make back that tuition by making one 8 ounce tincture. Multiply that over a lifetime and you've skills that will bolster your own personal economy.

Link to details about *this Saturdays workshop* are in the events section. Enroll now so I can make certain I have plenty of the extensive handouts for you by calling me at 541 686 6136 Blessings Heather Nic an Fhleisdeir Clinical Herbalist & Apothecary

Some of Oregon's herbalism history

Step inside history at Kam Wah Chung State Heritage Site in John Day. For more than 60 years, this small building served as a Chinese medical clinic, general store, and gathering place for Oregon’s Chinese community.

Today, it remains one of the most remarkable time capsules of Oregon’s past. Another reason
