Kiwi kids news at the herb farm

On saturday the 6th of july we went to the herb farm with the kiwi conservation club. we did all sorts of things like a talk with our tour guide Lin who taught us how to make some haeling cream which can help you keep your skin smooth and heal your bruses and sores. She told us that herbs are very important because they help you with sores and give flavour to your food. She also showed different types of herbs to us like cumphrey and lavender. 

To start our cream we used some base cream and fulled the bottled to the half point. Secondly we used CALENDULAR OIL in our cream and did five-seven drops in there. thirdly we used CALENDULA TINCTURE and did the some thing but with five drops in to the base cream. These are all healing, saftening and have antiseptic. thirdly we dropped in 1-3 drops of carrot all which is made by the seed and when mixed it will become a lemony colour and dropped in 3-5 or 6 drops of Alkanet oil which is made from the root of the herb and is a very dark red. It won't turn dark red but a delicate pink. Alkanet is slightly antispectic too. If you also mix these herbs together it will create a peach colour. 


Herbs will give us a good source of vitiman A. With those steps done Lin Talked to us about the essential oil. we had Lavender and Lemon essentials. These essentials are both antiseptic and uplifting. When you mix these in you have to have 15 drops in them if you like to have a strong smell but if you don't have less drops in your cream. After you have done that you full it up with some more Base cream. you mix it and them we were done and off to the garden tour.
