About the event
Craft Your Own Seasonal Allergy Elixir
Join us for a hands-on workshop where you'll learn to create your very own seasonal allergy elixir!
This oxymel combines nettle—nature's powerhouse antihistamine—with a selection of plants designed to soothe the respiratory system and ease allergic reactions. Whether you're battling spring allergies or sensitivities to dust and pets, this elixir is here to help.
What can you expect?
We'll kick things off with a little theory, uncovering the secrets of plants like nettle, rich in quercetin, which naturally helps control immune responses responsible for symptoms like watery eyes, sneezing, and coughing.
We'll also explore the ancient art of oxymel-making—a medicinal infusion of vinegar and honey rooted in Greek tradition. This method not only extracts the benefits of the ingredients but also supports your immune system and offers relief for irritated airways.
Armed with actionable tips and guided hands-on practice, you'll craft a personalized recipe to take home and enjoy. Embrace the season with confidence and newfound knowledge!
