I’ve used castor oil. Anyone ever tried with magnesium oil?? Thank you for a simple demonstration. Exactly what I needed. 👍👍

@SmallHouseFarm 11 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it! I have not used magnesium oil.. but since it's not a true oil, I imagine it wouldn't work as well for making a salve.

@shineon651 11 месяцев назад

Thank you. What do you think about infusing with magnesium oil? I use a mix of castor, coconut and magnesium daily as my body oil. I was thinking why not infuse a good herb. Think it would work? Got any herb suggestions if you do? Thanks for letting me pick your brain. Lol. :) Maybe throw a root in to brew?

@SmallHouseFarm 11 месяцев назад

@@shineon651 you'd want to infuse the herbs in the castor and/or coconut oil and then add the magnesium afterwards.. rose petals might be a nice choice!

@shineon651 11 месяцев назад

@@SmallHouseFarm That’s what I was thinking too. Thanks for confirmation and idea. ☺️👍✌️

This was a great and very helpful video. Can you share the amount of jars that the recipe was able to fill, please?

@SmallHouseFarm 3 месяца назад

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! The ratio of oil to beeswax that we share in the video will make about 18 ounces of salve. In the video we are using 1oz. containers, so we'll end up with 18 salves, but you can use containers of any size!

Do you have a recipe for poppy seed ointment for use on wounds, cuts and scrapes ?

@SmallHouseFarm 3 месяца назад

I do not have a specific recipe for poppy seed ointment although we do use freshly pressed poppy seed oil in some of our recipes. Common herbs for cuts and scratches include plantain, yarrow and comfrey!

@EveningStar-rh9ll 27 дней назад

What kind of oils can be used? Can I use olive oil?

@SmallHouseFarm 26 дней назад

You can certainly use olive oil.. or any oil that you'd like. We often use sunflower oil or hempseed oil in our salves. We press our own oils here on the farm.. You might enjoy our book about seed & nut oils.. www.smallhousefarm.com/product/complete-guide-seed-and-nut-oils/

@allisondennis8257 Год назад

I was always told not to press the marc if you've used fresh herbs (as opposed to dried) as it will introduce the water from the plant into the mix - rancidity, bacteria, etc. concerns. You didn't discuss differences/preferences for dried vs. fresh herbs. What is your take on this?

@SmallHouseFarm Год назад

This is an awesome question! If you're infusing fresh herbs in oil, you've already introduced water into the mix, whether you press the marc or not. Aside from a few exceptions, I alway recommend using dry herbs when working with oil, or at least wilted!

@gbonitamiel3642 4 месяца назад

Do you have to dry the things you collect first or can you use them fresh?

@SmallHouseFarm 4 месяца назад

I recommend drying the herbs before infusing them in oil.

@katejudson8907 5 дней назад

you can infuse them immediately after collecting according to other herbalists.

@raakheemenezes1406 2 месяца назад

Can I use safflower oil to infuse?

@SmallHouseFarm 2 месяца назад

Yes! You can use whichever oil you'd prefer for infusing your herbs!

Hi, what do you recommend for wound healing? I had a skin split and I'm trying to get the wound to heal and to stop the peripheral neuropathy. Do you have any recommendations or recipe remedies that I could try?

@SmallHouseFarm Год назад

We offer a salve made from yarrow and comfrey that is wonderful for healing minor wounds, cuts, abrasions etc.. here's a link! www.smallhousefarm.com/product/healing-salve/

@shineon651 11 месяцев назад

Definitely yarrow!! Mullein works well also.

@Renewed85 Год назад

What's already in your cupboard? Hardly anything. Im brand new to this

@SmallHouseFarm Год назад

you might be surprised what you can find in your cupboards already.. cinnamon, cloves, oregano, cayenne peppers, ginger, turmeric.. there's a treasure trove of herbal allies in your spice rack! :)

@shineon651 11 месяцев назад

Garlic, lemon, oranges … pick something and look up what it’s healing properties are. Then make a tincture or tea. That’s the simplest way to start. RU-vid university can teach you a lot! 😁✌️

What oils work, I only have cooking oils (olive oil and such)

@SmallHouseFarm 3 месяца назад

You can use all sorts of different oils in your herbal products. Olive Oil is a very popular choice! I really dig into the different oils in my book The Complete Guide to Seed & Nut Oils: www.smallhousefarm.com/product/complete-guide-seed-and-nut-oils/

@mascarakill1 2 года назад

Is there a downside to doing a quick infusion using a crockpot? Is one better than the other?

@SmallHouseFarm 2 года назад

The crockpot method works just fine if you need to make an infused oil in a hurry. And its ideal for infusing things like cottonwood buds...but I prefer the more hands-off approach of room-temperature oil infusion.

@lynahowells8413 2 года назад

Where did you find your funnel with the strainer?

@SmallHouseFarm 2 года назад

Hi Lyna! You can often find funnels just like ours through home-brewing equipment suppliers. There's a number of such suppliers online so a similar funnel should pretty easy to find! :)

Don't you have to sterilize it so that anaerobic bacteria doesn't become an issue?

@SmallHouseFarm Год назад

Are you asking about sterilizing the container? The containers that we use are brand new.. and its important to note that beeswax acts as a preservative and is itself quite antibacterial. It suppresses the growth of both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.

@lail118 Год назад

That has to be the easiest method I've ever seen.

Yes! It can be quite simple to make wonderful healing salves right at home! If you like this method, you'll love Bevin's book, The Artisan Herbalist! :)
