Fantastic! I am going to be making a comfrey salve and was trying to figure out a faster way to get the infused oil and I am going to use the oven method. Thank you so much!

Thanks 🙏🏽
I prefer non-heated methods of extraction as heat will destroy some beneficial compounds found in the herb.
Does sunlight affect the extraction? In the past, extraction container was put in the dark (i have an herb instruction book from 1900) but i know through practice that most substances require a tweak from basic extraction rules. Does the sunlight extraction depend on the extract substrate, i.e. oil vs. Alcohol vs. Vinegar?
Ugh. Used wrong affect vs. Effect. Lol. I guess its too early in morning.
AlhamduliLlah! ✨ Thank you so much for sharing. Struggling with eczema I was constantly thinking about using homemade salves but didn't know that the recipe is already available ❤️💐
Thanks! I had no clue there was ways to speed up the process with an oven!
Curious where I can get all 3 flowers / herbs from??
https://youtu.be/UVe8qTSNIGI hi friends we too are new our channel go to herbal medicine come for a ride leave people thank you in advance
Can this be used on toddlers with sensitive skin?
Love your videos. Thanks for sharing
3:00. Your oven idea is awesome!! I don’t have a crockpot but this is better.
Good morning. Thank you for your expertise. 🪻🌷🌻🍀🌞
I think lavender and camomile would be outstanding!
Please help if you can! About 2 weeks ago I set a small mason jar in a cool dark place : full of Organic Coconut Oil and FRESH Purple Dead Nettle. I'm interested in making a skin care oil or salve, but I understand that dried is best – did I ruin it? Should I strain and press it before the 6 weeks? I don't want to waste it!
Thank you!
Great video thanks for sharing I'll try the oven method me being too impatient to wait a month lol. I did notice your ceramic oven top around the ring around the heat elements, did you know you can scrape with a sharp razor oven scraper it brings it back to new and won't damage your ceramic top. I was a little scared of damaging mine when someone told me how to do it but yeah it's a great neat way of getting that off. I leave mine warm a little washing detergent then scrape away.
Nice video, I just don’t understand how everyone on YouTube calls it ‘Ca-len-jew-la’.. there’s no ‘j’, it’s ‘Ca-len-DU-la’. It’s a wonderful herb but people all pronounce it wrong for some reason. 🤷🏻♀️
What school can tou recommend?
Why or how does infused oil differ from just making it fresh with essential oils?
I've had unsuccessful attempts to find beeswax in any store I go to, please let me know where you have found beeswax, the Walmart in my town does not carry it
Great vid. Inspired me to swotch it up abit i used infused nettle oil in higher concentrate and whipped it up in tallow body butter. But some vanilla essential oil in for scent
Amy, what are the used FOR this salve…
If I do the oven infusion should the jar have the lid on while in oven? Thank you.
