Day 45 Assignment

1. Research where to buy fresh and dried herbs in your neighborhood. Can you get these things in your supermarket? Is there a farmer’s market that sells any of what you might need? Are there specialty natural remedy shops near you?
2. Research which medicinal plants grow in your region and consider putting a small bed of medicinal plants in your garden.
3. As hot and cold infusions are the easiest home remedies to make, pick three hot infusions from the above list (or find some of your own) and brew them to try out.
4. Purchase petroleum jelly and make one of the ointments listed above.
5. Purchase a cream base and make an herbal cream.
6. Make a few sleep sachets. Put them under all your pillows at home and give a few to friends or family as gifts.

Happy homesteading,
