Spring Herbal Series: Herbal Tincture Making
April 7, 2025 @ 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm EDT
Learn to make tinctures! Tinctures are potent alcohol based herbal remedies that are taken internally to support wellbeing. You will learn best methods for making tinctures from fresh and dried plants, including the techniques of maceration and percolation, with a touch of plant chemistry and math. You will go home with the skills to stock your own home apothecary this coming season with all your favorite herbal tinctures.
About the facilitator
Rebecca Hein is a community herbalist and urban farmer. Founder and owner of Underground Alchemy, she has been making herbal remedies grown on what were vacant lots in Albany’s South End since 2011. Her work is driven by a desire to connect people and plants, support community health and empowerment, and position herbalism in the struggle for accessible healthcare.
This series is facilitated by herbalists affiliated with the People’s Health Sanctuary Community Apothecary who are volunteering their time and sharing information for educational purposes. None of the remedies shared in these workshops are intended to diagnose or treat any disease.
The workshop series is held on the second floor of the NATURE Lab building, which is currently only accessible by a flight of stairs. If stairs will present a barrier to attending the workshop please get in touch in case we can accommodate your participation in another way.
We are committed to lowering the barriers to access for events at The Sanctuary for Independent Media. For people who are hard of hearing or deaf, blind or low-vision, or whose physical limitations can interfere with a satisfying experience, let us know two weeks in advance so we can make appropriate arrangements.
