Mz Heidi, you are the real deal!!! What I like about you as a herbalist is that you're not trying to get rich off of your teachings, because you offer a lot of free information, so I feel that it's valuable to take your classes, not just because they're reasonably priced but because you're not trying to take to gauge your students... And again out of all the herbalist I listen or watch, You're the only one that offers pamphlets and cheat sheets for free. Yes I will be signing up for your classes as soon as I relocate and Finish my transition to California Lord willing🙏 GBY

You can use some castor oil, but I recommend cutting it with another thinner carrier oil because the castor just doesn't help the plant release constituents very well as it's so viscous.

Hi Heidi, I love your channel - so much great info! I had a question - What are your thoughts on combining Frankincense, Myrrh, and turmeric into an oil infusion? I have some skin issues I’m trying to get relief from, and I’ve heard that all three of these have strong healing properties. In your opinion, would it be a good idea to combine all three for one infusion, or use them separately? Also trying to figure out amounts that would be best to use. Thanks!

@HeidiVillegas 2 месяца назад

That's a great combo! Just keep in mind the turmeric may stain. You can combine them all....or make them separately then combine. That latter way would be the way I would choose, because then you can adjust the amount of turmeric infused oil.

Thank you for the informative video Heidi. If you want to add frankincense essential oil to frankincense infused oil what ratio would you recommend?

@HeidiVillegas 6 месяцев назад

I can't give you an exact amount because: The dilution you choose is going to depend on a number of factors: how much of the infused oil you're using, the age of the person/animal you're working with, the size of the person/animal, the needs of the person/animal (including constitution) and also what your intention is for the oil. For example, pain relief, grounding/meditation, focus/clarity, mood, skincare, and others..... All of these contribute to determining the number of drops you'll need. I teach aromatherapy in our school, and our new course Aromatherapy level 1 certification is coming out soon! But I address safety and dilution in the Tribe and also in the Ditch the Drugstore course as well.

Hello Heidi. Thank you for this video- so informative! I followed your recipe here , would like to use for facial skin issue. Would it be best to use as is - infused oil, or make into a facial skin cream? Thank you so much- you are a wonderful teacher. 🙏🏻

@HeidiVillegas 6 месяцев назад

You can certainly use the oil as is, although I'm more likely to formulate with combinations of carriers that are helpful for skin health. And thank you so much for the comment!

Do you have to use the crockpot or can you just let it sit

@HeidiVillegas 3 месяца назад

You can just let it macerate/steep for several weeks if you don't want to use the crock pot.

I'm just starting out on my journey, it's been a year since the first time I bought resins and I still don't own a crock pot so what I do is I DIY something like a bain marie (double boiler?) for maybe an hour or 2 and then I let it sit and I use something like a syringe to extract what I need into a different smaller container. I simply add new oil or newer resins into the same container. I haven't thrown out anything yet. I'm not sure if I should though but so far so good!

I don’t see any frankincense resin on that site. Am I missing something?

@cherylrobinson1917 5 месяцев назад

Hi @heidivillegas I was wondering instead of olive oil can you infuse in jojoba? I wanted to do a franky infusion for skincare so would like a direct infusion into the oil I’d like to use as part of the face oil, other oils that I want to use are castor oil and black seed oil, so just wondering which one would be best? I’m assuming the jojoba as it’s not as thick as the castor, and I’m not using as much black seed oil as the jojoba and castor. Hope that makes sense :-)

@HeidiVillegas 2 месяца назад

Jojoba is just wonderful!

@angeladack Месяц назад

@@HeidiVillegasthank you! I came back to your video today whilst I did it, I mixed 400ml castor oil, 400ml jojoba and 50ml black seed oil and it’s currently sitting in my slow cooker, I’m so excited to try it! Thank you so much for your reply and for this fantastic guide! Xx

Where can I purchase high quality frankinscence ,do you have a company you recommend?

@HeidiVillegas 6 месяцев назад

Sustainability is HUGE in my opinion, and I really like Aromatics International because Karen and Jenny Williams, who own it now, are very much into caring for the earth as well as providing high quality products. That's where I got that batch of frankincense tears, and it's the best quality I've ever worked with. I can tell it's not harvested using inferior means. I should reach out to them and ask if it's from cultivated Boswellia or wildcrafted....It probably says on the package, but I didn't look. In terms of an endangered plant like frankincense, please choose to go with cultivated if you have a choice. @AromaticsInternational And here's a link for you: bit.ly/AromaInt

Why in the jar than in crackpot and not just crackpot

@Lanc735 6 месяцев назад

The oil and resin will make a hot mess of your crock pot with the residue.

@HeidiVillegas 6 месяцев назад

Hi, Geri! If you put the oil directly into the crockpot, it will "cook" the oil, even on the lowest setting, so the double boiler method allows you to manage the gentle heat better. Also---directly in the crockpot, you'd have to use more oil unless you have a tiny crockpot.

@ranadib1759 3 месяца назад

Hello thanks so much for the video super informative. My question is how long does it keep once finished in the oil if I haven’t mixed it with anything else other than johoba oil? Thanks in advance

Frankincense is overrated does nothing , its just historically and traditionally used for incense only

@HeidiVillegas 3 месяца назад

Current and recent scientific research has shown otherwise. Thanks for the comment!

@@HeidiVillegasin the Middle East we use it as an alternative to commercial chewing gum, it good for the teeth and gums, also we dissolve it in water which we then use for digestive problems. Excellent for skin conditions. Excellent video

@shoemedofrag 11 дней назад

@@sheridant4711 Can you say something about how women use it and specifically pregnant women? So far I've read that gums/resins/oleaoresins essential oils shouldn't be used by pregnant women. I'm not sure if this is the same when dealing with an infused oil like in this video. Do you know anything about it?
