The holidays are a wonderful time of year to create homemade gifts for family and friends. Join Bastyr Center clinical supervisor Natalie Walsh, ND, MS, for a live demonstration of how to make herbal gifts at home from common ingredients you already have in your kitchen.

Attendees will be given recipes and learn how to make:

• Gourmet infused oils
• Warming muscle rub
• Healing rose lip balm

This free workshop is part of the series "Living Naturally: Conversations on Health and Happiness with Bastyr Experts," presented by Bastyr University and its teaching clinic, Bastyr Center for Natural Health. All of the talks take place at Bastyr Center for Natural Health in Seattle and feature an audience Q-and-A session.

This event is first-come, first served, so come early to reserve a seat then browse the aisles of the Bastyr Dispensary, which is celebrating its December 1-6 holiday sale with 20 percent all regularly priced merchandise (excluding prescriptions, food items and products from the Chinese and Ayurvedic Herbal Medicine Dispensary).

Stick around after the talk for free samples from Bastyr Dispensary vendors, while supplies last, as part of the Health and Beauty Product Fair from noon to 2 p.m. Bastyr Dispensary vendors will be present to answer questions and demo products from their lines, including:

• Ayush Herbs — Ayurveda and Ayush supplements and teas
• Forest Life Creations — Shop an extended selection of distinctive eco-friendly wooden jewelry handmade in Edmonds
• Spirit Gems — Shop an extended selection of unique hand-selected stones & crystals from around the world

Be sure to take advantage of the dispensary's extended hours (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) on this final day of the 20 percent off sale!
