I love the cayenne with cat’s claw. At first I was a little put off by the lack of a strong smell and a quick cooling or warming sensation. After all that is what we are conditioned to expect. I was amazed! It really works.
You are correct that Vitamin E has no antibacterial properties. That means it can’t stop bacterial growth. However, due to the antioxidant properties of Vitamin E, it does help extend the life of our salves. Keeping with the definition of preservative of "prolonging life", Vitamin E prolongs the life of our salves. Using the term preservative fits when using this understanding.
How do you infuse barks/roots (like the cat's claw)? Is there a ratio? I know you do it different than leaf herbs filling the jar. I am interested in making that cayenne/cat's claw salve for my hubby.
Yes! I used 1 cup of dried cat's claw bark in 12 ounces of olive oil when I made my latest cold infusion. Dry and Cold infusions are a bit different. You can find the basic recipe for both here: www.sweetherbinlivin.com/herbs-essential-oils/herbal-oil-salves-infusions

Rosemary Gladstar is THE OG herbalist and every herbalist should know who she is and have her books in their library
@@bettykroll - I have great respect for Rosemary Gladstar, the godmother of herbalism.
I’ll have to find the right combination of herbs to make a drawing salve. Typically we’ve just bought one from an herb shop.
What kind of drawing salve are you looking for? There are several different kinds.

Awesome. Thanks, Ben! 🍎❤️
Please have correct information. Vitamin E oil has anti oxidant properties but it is definitely not preservative.
