First of the season! I’ll be making some peony salve this coming Friday. It is open to anyone and the class itself is free. You are more than welcome to purchase a slave or other farm products but it is not necessary!
Why peonies? They have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and are rich in antioxidants. They can also fight aging skin and sooth skin rashes. They contain an active chemical called paeonol which has an antioxidant effect similar to Vitamin E, helping to neutralize free radicals, support the skin barrier, and nourish the skin. Peonies are also good for moisturizing dry skin. The salve is great for putting on itchy rashes or bug bites.
