Summer Wild Botanicals; Soothing Respiratory Herbs

Wild Botanicals is a series of classes created on the basis of the harvest season in Snoqualmie Valley. Classes are in-person, outside and within the ecosystem of the plant(s). Students will learn botanical ID, look alikes, growth habits and harvesting ethics, plant processing and preparations. We will work with both wild and cultivated plants with edible and/or medicinal uses based on the class theme. Students are encouraged to bring their own in-field medicine making materials to experience the full process of field to kitchen medicine.


Soothing Respiratory Herbs

Demulcent. noun

A substance that relieves irritation of the mucous membranes in the mouth by forming a protective film.

Whether its wildfire season, allergies, asthma, air pollutant, or a respiratory flare up, herbs for the respiratory system are important to help soothe and heal the lungs. In this Wild Botanicals class we will focus on slippery, cooling and nourishing herbs for the lungs. These plants love water infusions to further put out any dry heat! Come join us as we meet herbs such as mullein, coltsfoot, mallow, marshmallow, plantain and more.
