THE BOTANICAL LAB | CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
Evidence-based. Hands-on. Things you'll actually use.
Every class at the Botanical Lab is built on published research; not tradition, not trend. You'll make something real, understand why it works, and leave with the evidence behind it. Taught by Dr. Cavanaugh and trained NRI associates.

UPCOMING LABS, WORKSHOPS, & EVENTS
Thu, Jul 16Stovehouse | Suite 330The cortisol awakening response, the HPA axis, and what the published research actually shows. Two products built from the same evidence behind The Female Stress Protocol.
Sat, Jul 18Stovehouse | Suite 330Watch a plant become an oil. Our copper alembic runs live in the lab: steam, coil, hydrolat, and everything the essential oil industry doesn't talk about. You leave with a bottle of what came off the still.
Sat, Aug 08Stovehouse | Suite 330Bad sleep is rarely about sleep. A few minutes on what's actually happening... then you make two things to use tonight.
Thu, Aug 20Stovehouse | Suite 330Back to school means time to focus. When it comes to concentration, peer reviewed studies tell us what works and what doesn't. This is the class that puts only the most effective solutions in your purse or bookbag.
Sat, Aug 22Stovehouse | Suite 330Four products from The Evidence-Based Handmade Apothecary: Owie Balm, Ginger Chews, Deep Moisture Balm, and Ear Soother Drops. The home apothecary kit that actually gets used. Every formula has a clinical trial behind it.
Thu, Sep 10Stovehouse | Suite 330Two published NRI respiratory studies: one pediatric chest RCT, one throat spray trial where all symptoms resolved by day three. Two products, two hours, the clinical evidence behind both.
Sat, Sep 12Stovehouse | Suite 330There is a version of self-care that's actually backed by science, and a version that's just marketing. This class is the first kind, applied from your shoulders to your heels.
Thu, Sep 17Stovehouse | Suite 330Topical EO was found equivalent to acetaminophen for tension headache in a clinical trial. Two products built from that research: one for your temples, one for your shoulders.
