February 5: Demonstration of extraction of oil from herbs
with Neville Prowse-Brown
The demonstration of extraction of oil from herbs is only the beginning
of what can be obtained from herbs. Herbs as we all know is nature’s medicine.
Herbs are nature’s way for caring for those who believe in their
healing powers. Neville is going to demonstrate that not only can herbs
be used for everyday way of life but also for the oil, which is stronger
and versatile.
Herbs can be another way of providing an income and there is no need
for a large area of land. Discussions are underway to provide a herb course
for those who are interested in finding out more of an alternative income.
