A special weekend at Palazzo D’Alessandro, among castles and herbal techniques
On Saturday, May 17 and Sunday, May 18, Palazzo D’Alessandro will be the center of the first “Experiential” weekend, held in collaboration with Associazione Tratturo Magno 101 A.P.S. and Fondazione CarispAQ.
Saturday, May 17, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
A special opportunity for our guests who wish to do so, to participate free of charge in the Medicinal Herbs and Extraction Techniques Workshop: a hands-on experience discovering the main wild medicinal herbs of the season. Through a guided walk through the area, you will learn to recognize plants, identify their properties, and understand which parts to collect, how to store them, and how to use them safely and effectively.
The meeting will focus on three fundamental extraction techniques:
- Infusion: for the extraction of water-soluble active ingredients.
- Oleolite: to obtain fat-soluble extracts, particularly useful for skin care.
- Hydroalcoholic tincture: for storage and intake of the active ingredients in concentrated form.
If possible, some herbs will be harvested directly by participants and then used to prepare extracts. Each participant will have the opportunity to make the preparations to take home: infusion, oleolite and tincture.
At the end of the event light lunch for participants
Sunday, May 18, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
