I went to school for this and am really wishing now I hadn't spent all the money and just watched you video's 😅
THIS is the FIRST time I have heard someone admit this!!! THANK YOU!! I have studied SO hard for 8 years now, all self taught with books and videos and trial n error and there is always this superiority complex I run into with people saying Im not "qualified" to make tinctures / salves or give advice.. This is SO refreshing and wonderful to hear! NOT knocking the courses / teachings at all.. Its just a whole attitude against self taught that is hard to swallow. Bless you!
I was considering going to an herbal school but now seeing this comment....
Check out the channel She is of the Woods. I've learned so much from there
Me too!
😂😂😂
Great idea! I will put this on my to do list!
I am going to have to try this for sure. Thank you!
Awesome tutorial! Thank you for sharing!
I'd love to make salves. Such a great tutorial. I just love your channel!
Thank you for the video. Very organized and easy to understand. I can't wait till spring to start making some herbal infused oil.
Omg, this looks SO easy! I had nooo idea that it was so simple to throw an herbal salve together - will definitely be giving this a try!
I have some calendula infused oil that's ready I think I'll make a salve soon! Thanks for the inspiration Amy! Love this video! I love herbs and can not wait for your book!!!
This was a great video. Thank you for your simple, easy to follow instructions and tips! This Grandma is delighted to have found you here. I'm subscribed!
You just lit up my day with your smile!
You packed a lot of information in a short video and I can totally appreciate that. Thank you for the brief education and have a wonderful day
This was super helpful for a beginner. Thanks Amy 😊
No nonsense great rrecipe and info, thanks I learned a lot from you.
that was nice! to see the melting process of the bee's wax🙌🏾 thanks for sharing!
this video is great! I have a rose bush in the front of my yard and ive been searching for a video to make a rose oil/salve!
thank you so much!
Thank you for a fabulous video. My confidence is feeling better. Very clear on how to.
One of the MOST down to earth, easy to listen to, idea put across easily, fun to watch! Girl you have it all!! Thanks and will watch many more of your vids!
Great video I can’t wait to make one thank you
Good video. I'm making black drawing salve soon and I appreciate the help.
Super helpful! Thanks for the video!
The second you start talking I felt this comfort 😊💓Hiiii, I love your vibe 🤩🌿
Straight to the point. I love it.
Great video. I want to try this for sure!
I bought a tin of Salve and love it! But so glad that there are people who make natural products to help others. I really appreciate it!!!! Love this video!
thanks for this...love your gentle energy :) im gunna make some new creams/salves this yr for menopause symptoms !!
So easy to understand and follow. Not over talking, just saying as it is. With measurements and instructions, thank you xx
Fantastic! I am going to be making a comfrey salve and was trying to figure out a faster way to get the infused oil and I am going to use the oven method. Thank you so much!
love this recipe. I use it to make all my herbal salves
I watched your amazing video,and just made my first salve.it turned out great.I used yarrow,and it has so many uses!wounds of course,but also a great lip balm,and even deodorant.it works so much better that the natural deodorants I had been using.I guess because it is so antimicrobial.thanks for the vid.you just opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me!now I want to make salve out of everything.I have some goldenrod sitting in the sun right now☀️
I adore you ! Just found you randomly and wow so informative. Thank you . From southern Ontario Canada!!! Shared with friends ❤️
Great video Amy! So informative, definitely gave me the info I needed :)
Love this video! It is so empowering to be able to make our own stuff instead of relying on others. I grow most of my own herbs and make an infused oil of each for later use. So handy!
Very good! You got to the point quickly! and not to much waffle ! Others are soooo long and could do it in half the time! Drives me nuts!
Love your videos. Thanks for sharing
AlhamduliLlah! ✨ Thank you so much for sharing. Struggling with eczema I was constantly thinking about using homemade salves but didn't know that the recipe is already available ❤️💐
Thank you for this video full of information. And your voice is really pleasant, I'm fan of you :-)
I loveee this!
New subscriber. Great video. Excellent teacher. Thanks
This is great information! I have a Levo2 to infuse my oils since I only make small batches 🤩 Thanks for sharing!
I have a LEVO as well, I love it!
Great vid. Inspired me to swotch it up abit i used infused nettle oil in higher concentrate and whipped it up in tallow body butter. But some vanilla essential oil in for scent
Thanks! I had no clue there was ways to speed up the process with an oven!
In love with your channel, this was so inspiring and showed me how easy it is to make salves!
Totally binge watching your videos lol. But I’m not sure if anyone has shared this tip with you I picked it up from a soap maker. When adding oils from one jar to another if you pour it down a chopstick it doesn’t run down the jar 🙂🙂🙂
Great and informative video. Can you infuse the herbs and oil using a crockpot?
Great video. Thanks.
Thank you for this! 💞
Awesome 👏🏻 Much love 💗
Thanks very much God bless you
3:00. Your oven idea is awesome!! I don’t have a crockpot but this is better.
I love this 😀 ❤
Really great video! What would you say the ratio of beeswax to oil is for the salve to harden?
I’ve always infused my oils by letting the herb infuse in virgin olive oil for 6 weeks, giving it a daily shake. It is a long time, but not if your are making other oils at various times. I used that method because I was concerned about destroying valuable nutrients by using heat. So anyway after the long wait I’d heat up the oil and wax anyway. I totally recommend following this video and not wasting your time like I have been. 👍😀
Do you use dried herbs or can they be fresh?
@@jmcast3195 I always use fresh herbs. They grown profusely in my yard. Not wanting to waste them got me started utilising their properties. I have heard people using dry herb.
You did not waste your time. Your method is exactly how I do it. I've followed Susun Weed's method which is to fill the jar loosely with the herb, then fill the jar with olive oil. I use a butter knife to poke into the mixture to release air pockets. I sit this on a plate on a shelf out of the sun for six weeks. I don't shake it. I don't touch it. After six weeks, I strain the herbs from the oil, melt the beeswax, remove it from heat then add the oil.
My favourite is plantain ointment. This is the best thing for cuts. When my kids had the chickenpox, I put this on their sores in the morning and at night. There was no itching and no infection because they weren't scratching. Because this ointment works so well, I know Susun Weed's method works.
When you’re infusing oils it’s actually important to use dried herbs because the fresh herbs have water content that gets mixed in with the carrier oils, which creates an environment for molds and bacteria to grow. The dehydrated herbs still have the properties of the herb and nutrients intact. Fresh herbs are typically best used for things that will be consumed immediately such as teas and decauctions
@@twistedknotz5485, actually, I've use fresh plantain leaves for my plantain ointment. I've been doing it for almost two decades with no issues. The fresh leaves are soaked in olive oil for 6 weeks. I currently have fresh comfrey and yarrow sitting in oil, and I'm not worried. I've learned from Susun Weed who has been doing this for almost as long as I've been alive. I trust her methods and will follow her advice.
Very cool thanks for sharing💕💕
💃☔💕💛God Bless💛💕☔💃
I shared this on my Facebook
Thank you so much!!
Live your videos! Happy to have found you on here. Wondering if you might have a recommendation on ratios of oils when making a facial oil serum? I’m wanting to use organic EVOO and also jojoba oil. I was thinking 2:1, jojoba:EVOO? Also, I’m wanting to infuse meadowsweet and comfrey dry herbs in these carriers. Would you recommend infusion in one or the other, or one in each, of those two carriers?
Great video
I love your videos thank you! I’m just a little bit confused about why sunlight is good for herbal infusions and other time it diminishes the herb? Would you be able to make a video about that? Thanks
I looked for seeds to grow Chamomile. Would you recommend or Roman or German. I'm new to this! Thanks! Can't wait to grow (and collect seeds) and infuse, then make salves!
Hello, I just stumbled across your videos and wondered if you have a salve recipe for extreme ezcma?
Great video! I like the size of your tins. What size is it and where do you buy your tins?
I have just started making sales this yr. I found jewelweed, yarrow, and plantain on our land. Make salve out of each for specific needs. I also learned that lemon balm is good for cold sores so made lip balm bc hubs gets them w a cold. You just infuse oil . its is addictive.
We love yarrow! Dandelion makes a good salve to if you have any. It's good for soreness.
I just planted some lemon balm, thanks for the great information, my daughter and granddaughter both suffer from cold sores.
@@cindyp.9030 tamanu oil is great for cold sores! I use it on top of everything else and it really works. Just add few drops to the lemon balm salve.
Thank you!
Great video thanks for sharing I'll try the oven method me being too impatient to wait a month lol. I did notice your ceramic oven top around the ring around the heat elements, did you know you can scrape with a sharp razor oven scraper it brings it back to new and won't damage your ceramic top. I was a little scared of damaging mine when someone told me how to do it but yeah it's a great neat way of getting that off. I leave mine warm a little washing detergent then scrape away.
Awesome video! FYI, looks like your link to ‘Become a Master Herbalist’ may have a bug. It gives me a warning about the site.
Awesome video😊 👏🏾what do you use your salve for?
Keep on making your videos :)
What a great video. A question by adding vitamin E would that make these last longer than a year ??. I have just found your video a few days ago an you have some great content . I am hoping to find more time to get around to watching all your videos. THANKS
would you be able to teach on how to make a CBD Salve for pain relief please.
Great! Thank you. Do you have a salve recipe for moles and wart removal?
The milk from dandelion stems will remove warts. Just squeeze the milk out of a freshly picked dandelion, apply daily. I was taught this by an elderly Hungarian woman who knew Old World medicine.
hi Love your videos do you recommend olive oil or coconut oil as a base?
You can put a canning jar ring in the pot under the jar to be double safe :)
you can!
this is so crazty
Thanks 🙏🏽
Love your videos!
What is a good herb (or herbs) to replace antibiotic ointment? We go through a lot and I’d like to make my own to use.
I use lavender for antibiotic wound healing. It is also a topical analgesic and will heal burns and take the sting out of bug bites. You could make a salve but I just use it straight. For an extra antiseptic kick, I’ll use it with tea tree. I cured cellulitis on my leg that I gave myself by scratching a bug bite with my garden gloves without thinking, along with Epsom salts baths, though I would have gone to the hospital if it didn’t improve in a few days. I’m not stupid…
I have several bottles of really good hemp oil that I generally put directly on my arthritic areas but decided to get some arnica cream and add the help to it. Now I am thinking about this. There would no be any negative interactions would there?
Great video! Have one question. I made my salve and it turns my clothes, sheets green. What did I do wrong?
Great video Miss Amy! One question...does it matter what you stir with??! Wood/metal/plastic??!
doesnt really matter!
I think lavender and camomile would be outstanding!
I think I just bought your book?!
Good video! I'm about to try my hand at making a comfrey salve, so I appreciated you mentioning amounts for infused oil and bees wax. Really glad you showed rubbing your finger on the finished product, so we could see how soft or firm it turned out. Hoping mine doesn't turn out runny, but guess I can add more wax later.
Thanks!
I just finished a comfrey salve this evening using tallow and beeswax. Did put a little eucalyptus peppermint and clove for added warmth
Hi Amy. What a fabulous tutorial. When you make the infused oils are you using fresh or dried herbs? Thanks :)
dried herbs!
Hello!. Can I use this herbal salve/balm as face cleansing balm?.
Hello
If you 'ré in a hot sunny location, you can put your jars of oil, herbs and beeswax in your closed car on the front. You will have to wrap your jar in a fine Black cloth as light is not good for plant molécules.
Thank you for your work 💜
Has anyone done this with borage? I plan on planting Borage and I'd like to make use of it in this way. What about basil?
Hi Amy I just tried to get your recipe and it says it no longer exists? Nice video.
New sub love your channel
An you please explain again the oven option ? How long and what temperature ?
I want to make a gardeners salve for mothers day gifts. What herbs would you suggest I use for that? Does it matter if I use white or yellow beeswax?
I love your shirt…With the chicken pooping out eggs!
Thanks for your video.Hi don’t no if you can help me .I make salve and add vitamin E ,tea tree ,turmeric oil ,jojoba oil love to no how much I can sell it for it’s a 2 oz jar and some in tins too
Thanks
Have you done anything with a cold press?
Hi Amy, can you plz tell me if there is a medicinal difference if you go essential oil opposed to infused oil plz? This being that the essential oil used is the best quality bought. Organic, Pure and first distillation.. Thank you! preparing to make my first salve ... arrrgghh!! lol God bless
Greetings from New Zealand. I was just watching your clip on making goldenrod tinctures and you say it must be kept in a dark cupboard to minimize losing vitality yet with this infused oil you advise putting it in a sunny place? To my mind, calendula in oil is something quite fragile esp if not completely covered in oil and could go rancid easily. Could you please explain the thinking behind this? Many, many thanks
Hi thanks for the video. I’m in Australia what are the measurements in grams for the recipe-how much liquid and how much beeswax thanks!
I always wondered if you can infuse the calendula or other plant matter into Jojoba as jojoba has a more stable shelf life, thereby extends the shelf life of the infused oil as olive oil can become rancid, especially if you add in a natural preservative such as naticide (parfum) or Plantaserv S and an antioxidant such as Rosemary Antioxidant Extract, Vitamin C or Vitamin E.
Best salve I've found: one part spruce or pine sap. One part beeswax. Two parts olive oil. Melt together and pour in a tin or tiny Ball jar. Done.
amy do you have a herbal capsule recipe for neuropthy pain
Hello! Can you reuse the herbs? If so, same ratio?...thank you
Do you happen to have a recipe for a DMSO cream?
Hi your video is great. Im just wondering if you use 300 degrees farenheit or celcius in preheating your oven? I live in the Philippines and we usually use celcius here. So i dont know which is which. Thanks
Farenheit :)
For the oven method, do you use already dried herbs or fresh herbs? Thanks!
