Supply List

Here is the list of required and suggested supplies for the 2025 Herbal Immersion. All plant material is included in your tuition. Medicines you make in class are yours to keep.

The more medicines you make in class & outside of class during at-home study, the more you will need. I suggest buying a standard size one of each of the following medicine making menstruums to start—

• Apple Cider Vinegar

• Alcohol: Brandy, Everclear and/or Vodka (those with an allergy or choosing a non-alcoholic medicine practice may omit alcohol from their supplies)

• Honey (or an alternative sweetener like Agave nectar if vegan)

• Vegetable glycerin

• Olive oil

• Beeswax

You will also need:

• Canning jars of various sizes for medicine making

• Pruners (Felco or Corona are good options)

• Shovel (small and portable are best suited to wildcrafting and carrying on field trips)

• Hori-hori

• Knife, cutting board

• Labels for jars, pen, notebook

• Measuring cup

• Spoon or stirring sticks

• Medicinal Plants of the Pacific West by Michael Moore.

Come Spring, class will be held outside. For these classes, you will need to bring your own:
