My mother used many home remedies.Just to name a few camomile,fennel,bay leaf,lemons,basil,parsley. my mother never use soap on her face, her entire life. She washed her face with real lemon juice and water every day of her life. She had no wrinkles even when she was older no crows feet nothing. And never ever did I see my mother have a blemish on her skin. My mother had the most beautiful skin, and that’s the truth. There were a Lotta home remedies and when my mother cooked it was all from scratch and whatever was in season whatever vegetables were in season is what we would have. And everything was absolutely delicious and her whole theory in life was you have to eat healthy so you remain healthy. I’m all about folklore myself. Better then traditional medicine.
Just remember that glycerine is a fatty alcohol and should just be used very seldom because it is not good for your liver. Chamomile syrup : use honey and a applecider vinegar.
Lemon Balm is Invasive -- do not grow it in ground-- it will spread everywhere, just like mint. I am sorry I ever planted it! It also will escape from pots if you let it flower and goes to seed, you'll spend a lot of time weeding them out.
May I ask what type of buckets are the plastic buckets you use during the extraction process. I would like to switch to buckets because I've outgrown the glass jars but not sure what is safe for alcohol storage.
Shana blackberries greatly revive the short termemoru. You obviously do not siffer from abstract memory loss otherwise you would have found the powerful memory effect of the berries!
Blackberries most of all revive the short term memory and inturn the long term memory. It does not matter if the friut it ripe or bitter or desicated the enzyme that revived memory doesnt die.
Hi, two questions. Can I use a powder herb? Does Mountain Rose glycerine derive from soy, coconut or palm? I can't have soy and not a fan of palm. Thank you
Hi there! Yes, you can make glycerites using herbal powders. The process would be the same as using dried herbs, but you may need to double filter and/or strain through a coffee filter to ensure that there is no botanical material remaining in your glycerite once the infusion process is complete. The glycerin we offer is made with cultivated organic soy, so it unfortunately does not sound like this product would be suitable for your needs, our apologies! We hope this information is helpful, have a lovely day. ~Indi 🌿
Yes, lemon balm and many other species in the mint family are fantastic deer repellents! Deer are not big fans of the scent that omits from lemon balm leaves and flowers, so they tend to steer clear of areas where the scent is prevalent. 🌿

For any seaweed that contains B12, you'd want to dry it out of the direct sunlight (windy day), and rinse the salt water off first (to bring ph back down to neutral range) - else the B12 will convert to pseudo B12. Would be ideal to have it rainy in the morning and windy in the afternoon. That way you just let the rain do the work for cleaning it.
Glycerine is still an alcohol. If anyone is worried about consuming alcohol, you take tinctures DROPS at a time. Not shots. Your tinctures should be close to 50% water, 50% alcohol. So for every drop of tincture, only half is alcohol.
Hi there! Glycerine is considered a sugar alcohol, which contrary to its name, actually does not contain any alcohol or sugar. Also referred to as polyols, sugar alcohols are a type of carbohydrate whose chemical structure resembles both sugars and alcohol. As polyols do not contain any ethanol, they are suitable for people who prefer to avoid alcohol. We hope this helps explain the difference! 💚
Hi there! Alex used a 3:1 ratio of glycerin to water for this recipe. Glycerites made with dried herbs must include water to rehydrate the herbs and loosen up the botanical matter. Here is an article from our blog that offers a comprehensive how-to guide on glycerites: blog.mountainroseherbs.com/how-to-make-glycerin-extracts-glycerites We hope this helps, cheers! 🌼
I am going to have a good chamomile crop this year and will try a glycerite. Could you share the water and glycerine ratio for the menstruum? I have seen it different ways. Thank you!
Great question! Yes, you can absolutely use fresh botanicals to make glycerites. The key difference would be not diluting the glycerin with water, as the botanicals will not need to be rehydrated since they are not dried.

Hi there! Glycerites made with dried herbs must include water to rehydrate the herbs and loosen up the botanical matter so they can properly infuse into the glycerin. 🌿
@@mountainroseherbs In what proportion to the glycerin has the water to be? It isnt said in the video. Can you rehydrate the dried herbs beforhand? Why does the glycerine does not rehydrate the herbs?
Hello! That would entirely depend on what you have around your house. Here is an article from our blog that deep dives into the various ways you can make herbal extracts: blog.mountainroseherbs.com/guide-tinctures-extracts We hope this helps! 🌿
