I love how informative she is!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge here. I'll be using your method to extract the healing properties of some common herbs !

Zane what lovely name. Thank you for the herbal extract information.

Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us!🌺🌸🌺

Very good presentation USA

Thank you, SO MUCH!! It's exactly what I needed! God bless you 🙏🏽🌻

Thank you for this. Exactly what I needed.

Kao da ste Beogradjanka. Veliki pozdrav!

Thank you I must try looks amazing

Very clea ..rery insightful very educative

Thank you so much, great info.

Very nice, thanks 😀😃

Thank you Ma'am ❤️❤️

thank you!

Why don’t u continue to post video? U are a great teacher!!! Keep posting video please 🙌🙌 If I understand correctly we should macerate for 6 weeks before using the extract ? If yes, why 6 weeks? Why not less or more? After extracting the maceration, do you check the « ph »/ need to adjust the ph of the extract? Can you confirm that the formula is 80% glycerine and 20% water for the maceration? So if u use 50 grams of dried botanical plant => I should use 80% of 50g for glycerine and 20% of 50g for water ? Why do we have to use « glycerine » for the maceration for skincare? Can’t we use only « water » for the maceration? In one of your comment you said to use in a serum « 10% of different botanical extract » ? If yes, it’s 5 botanicals of 2% => why only 10% max of different botanical extract for one serum? It’s this rule the same for « toner »? In one of your video, I see « calendula oil » => is it possible to do it in extract : glycerine & water?

Brilliant thank you!

Awesome.Thank you for everything. Keep up the great work!

Hi Zane, thank you very much for your very informative video. I have a question: do you need to mix regularly the herbs in the glycerin mix while the 6 weeks of waiting?

thank you for sharing this informative tutorial with us, would this work for barks/roots as well, ie butchers broom?

Is it recommended that the Alcohol Intermediary Method be used for resins/gums such as frankincense, myrrh, dragons blood, etc? How is it beneficial or not? Does it enhance or interfere with the properties of the resins?

Thanks for the instructions - great video. I will be making Green Tea and Ginseng extracts for skin care. Thanks for the video. btw, which Glycerin would you recommend using .? I purchased Glycerin that felt too greasy/Sticky, not sure why.

Can extracts derived from 12-15% alcohol and then preserved with glycerin that is being sold be used on the skin?? Eg. Uva ursi.. or can I make using this method and get results?

Finally .. thank god that i found uuu .. thank uu sooo sooo much i was really need it .. i live for diy my everything.. so u made me more happy and satisfied.. definitely i will do it .. and i hope to tell me in this condition the water here doesn't mold ? Coz how i should keep the plant dry first and then i will wet it again!! And what about the shelf life coz when i exract my essential oil i set them on carrier oil so why water and glycerin here ?

Hi there thank you for sharing this informative video. I want to extract Cintella Asiactia and I want to use it as a toner or serum. How long do you think it can last and do you have suggestion for ingredients that can preserve it? Thank you ;)

Hi, so you didn't use any preservatives during the weeks of extraction, just water and glycerin?

Thank you so much for sharing this, this was exactly what i was looking for! I have a couple questions though, once the extract is ready, how long does it stay good for? Can you mix this extract with plant oils without bacteria starting to grow?

Good job. The best solution from my study to mix 60% Glycerine , 30% distilled water and 10% propylene glycol mix it well then add to the herbs .
