Basic recipe: 3 parts infused oil, 1 part mango or shea butter, 1 part beeswax. SO if making 16 ounces it would be 12 ounces herb infused oil, 2 ounces beeswax, 2 ounces mango or shea butter. Add essential oils of choice

Wait. Shouldn't it be like this: ? 3 parts infused oil, 1 part mango or shea butter, 1 part beeswax = 6 (not 12) ounces herb infused oil, 2 ounces beeswax, 2 ounces mango or shea butter.

Heidi- I just started my second plantain salve. I foraged 100 broadleaf plantain and dried them on a rack in my garden. I whizzed them up in a smoothie maker. I bought a new mason jar. I bought 4 bottles of avocado oil. I put the dry plantain in the jar, and added 3 bottles of avocado oil. I'll leave it for 2 months to infuse. I'll then sieve the contents of the jar. I'll use coconut oil and beeswax to make the salve.

God is good.

Thank you my friend. GOD bless you and your family. ♥️

I am actually planning to make some calendula salve today so this was a good video for me to watch. I have had my oil infusing since February. I've never made a salve before so I was a little nervous to try but you make it look so easy. And I also want to tell you that I made a bunch of both types of your the cast iron skillet handle covers and LOVE them! They are pretty much used every day. Heidi, you are awesome! God bless you and your family

Thanks for sharing, they look beautiful.

It’s amazing you don’t have melasma and look young…thank you soo much!

Heidi, last year I made a healing salve, based on what you already had on your channel, and made it specifically for my chickies--- I use it on any wounds or bald spots that they have (for sunburn, their combs, etc.)---it works like a champ! I really believe in the natural healing wonders of what's in the back yard and what a person can make from flowers, herbs, etc. I have learned a lot from you and really appreciate your videos--my hubby loves it when he sees Patrick make something on the channel or when he speaks up too! Blessings from Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)

But, we are always looking for ways to boost our immune system. And eating healthier no white flour no white sugar no pork no processed foods on and on I could go on about what I have cut out. But you are helping me to understand the herbs better. Thank you Heidi, I wish I could have come across your channel when you started it. But I think that God is a timely God!

I went back and made the oil for this salve and have just been using oil haven't made salve yet but the oil works great, my elbows arnt scaly anymore and thee dry spots on my face are gone after 2 days. May just leave it and not make salve. Thanks for a winner Heidi. Heading to a farm this morn. to see the sunflower maze and pick up some produce we don't grow yet in our urban garden.

That is great, again. Thank you.

I have all the ingredients and forgot how to put it together. Have my infused oil. Great tutorial. Ty Heidi!

It's nap time for the littles & my 3rd time watching this to see what you're doing.

This is a timely lesson! I just made my first-ever skin salve, Seaside Plantain in beeswax and olive oil. I pt it into an old mayo jar and it’s already being used for cuts and scrapes - to wondrous results! Now I’m going to check out your healing oil vid and make some while foraging opportunity is going strong! Thank you for all your self-reliance instruction! Stay well!

I love mango butter - not a fan of shea. You can always put a stainless screwer or utensil in the jars before pouring to prevent the glass cracking, because the stainless steel absorbs the heat.

Thank you

Even making my own, I still love to watch other people make salves, etc. Like you I want my oil super strong, which means I plan ahead. I infuse my oils and after I strain them I do a double infusion by adding more herbs to that infused oil and infuse it again. I love bee's wax to stiffen it up. To finish it off I have a bowl of ice water ready. I set my pan of infused oils and melted bee's wax in the cold pan and immediately whisk it like crazy. It makes it fluffy, lighter and creamier.

As a general rule, the orange oils are not phototoxic, grapefruit, lemon, lime, and bitter orange are (though they can sometimes be used super-diluted). There are a few noncitrus oils that are phototoxic; a reliable company will have the information in the product description

"It takes 24 times as much grapefruit essential oil to be as phototoxic as 1 drop of bergamot. Here’s a list of the maximum number of drops per ounce of carrier oil before each of these essential oils will cause a phototoxic reaction: bergamot 1 drop cold-pressed lime 4 drops bitter orange 8 drops cold-pressed lemon 12 drops grapefruit 24 drops"

@RainCountryHomestead

3 жыл бұрын

Yes but as you can see in this video, I do not add the essential oils to the infused oil while it is infusing, only after I have strained it and am using it in a blend. I do this for a couple of reasons. One being that one will lose some of that essential oil when straining out the herbs and the other being that you may not want the whole amount of infused oil to have that particular essential oil in it. For example, I have a specific infused oil I use for the skin cream I use on my face, hands, etc..and also in my lip balm. Since I sell three different "scents" of skin cream and many different flavors of lip balm, the proper essential oil will only be added to each individual batch. Thus, it is best to keep the infused oil plain until you are blending it with other fats for making whatever it is you plan to make with it

What do you recommend for toe nail fungus ?

@RainCountryHomestead

2 жыл бұрын

Toe nail fungus is very difficult to cure. Some people have great success with topical applications one of these essential oils: oregano, thyme, clove, tea tree. A paste of benonite clay applied twice daily, allowed to dry then washed off can be helfpul. Soaking in straight vinegar (any kind) has also helped some. Another one that is popular and works for a few is using Vicks Vapo rub but the thing is that it is the thyme and eucalyptus oils in the rub that make it effective. Keep in mind though, fungus goes far deeper than just the surface so while these methods have helped some, they do not work for everyone and it may require a cleanse from the inside out
