Harnessing the Power of Nature: Crafting a Healing Salve
In a world where the power of nature is often overlooked, it is important to recognize the healing potential that lies within our grasp. Today, I embark on the journey of infusing oil for a remarkable healing salve. Join me as I delve into the art of creating a specific blend dedicated to the miraculous process of wound healing. But first, let’s explore the wonders of the infused oil I have been using for my homemade skin cream.
Unleashing the Healing Properties:
The infused oil I concoct right here is a true gem. Its versatility is unmatched, making it an integral part of my daily skincare routine. Whether I need to nurture my face or nourish my cracked heels, this oil works wonders. Its transformative effects have amazed me as I witnessed its ability to soothe cuts, sores, and even pesky scratches. However, my desire for a more specialized wound healing solution has motivated me to embark on a new adventure.
The Art of Formulation:
Today, I invite you to explore the realm of herbal combinations that can enhance the healing properties of your own oil. You have the freedom to choose any combination of herbs that resonates with you. For those interested in the particular oil I’m crafting today, I have provided a link in the description box below. Remember, each herb holds its own unique potential for healing. You can mix and match, allowing your creativity to flourish.
Unveiling the Powerhouses:
Let’s take a closer look at the remarkable herbs I have carefully selected for this concoction. Dandelion flower, comfrey, calendula, and yarrow are among my favorites. Each possesses incredible abilities to nurture and heal the skin. Although I don’t have a video on plantain yet, I encourage you to research its remarkable benefits. Plantain, whether in broadleaf or narrow form, is a true gift from nature that can be found right in your own backyard.
Crafting the Perfect Blend:
As I fill my jar, I aim to achieve a harmonious balance between these exquisite herbs. While some may prefer precise measurements, I find solace in the art of intuition. I trust my instincts and simply add equal amounts of these botanical wonders until my jar reaches the desired level. Remember, when infusing oil, dried herbs are preferable to fresh ones. Their potency and longevity make them the ideal choice for this transformative process.
Choosing the Right Oil:
The choice of oil is crucial in creating a healing salve that truly shines. Personally, I opt for avocado oil due to its availability and high heat tolerance. Its shelf stability ensures the longevity of my infused oils. However, if you prefer using extra virgin olive oil or grapeseed oil, they are excellent alternatives. Just bear in mind their specific heat requirements to maintain their integrity.
Unleash the Healing Potential:
Now, it’s time to pour the oil of your choice into the jar, allowing it to blend harmoniously with the selected herbs. Avocado oil and grapeseed oil are my top recommendations due to their exceptional skin-nurturing properties. If you reside in cooler climates, you may consider using fractionated coconut oil for its ability to remain in liquid form even at lower temperatures.
Harnessing the power of nature to create a healing salve is a journey filled with wonder and discovery. By infusing oils with carefully chosen herbs, we unlock the potential to transform our skincare routines and address specific healing needs. Embrace the art of formulation, trust your instincts, and let nature’s bounty guide you towards a healthier, happier you.
Thank you so much , I love this! Bless you!
Thank you! Love your videos!
Can I use the plantain seeds also or only the leaves?
Heidi, do you use the whole calendula flower or do you strip off the petals and just use them?
Is there a list of ingredients. I know I can follow and write them down, was just wondering
Dried herbs in powdered form through a spice grinder: would that actually increase the potency of the oil?
Do you have anything that will help my little dog for her itching? Thanks
Excellent video. Love your style.
Thanks a lot
How long do you put the oil in warm place,
What do you think about using a magic butter machine to do the infusion process in 8 hours instead of 2 months?
Thinking this would be good for rosacea?
How long is herb infused avocado oil good for? I hate throwing it out after a year being stored in cool dark cupboard.
🙏🏾🗣️🕯️💐
Heidi I need to buy some of your herbal infused oil for my daughter who is expecting a baby girl in July and her new born. Do you sell oils and if so where can I buy them?
Hi I just stumbled across your video. Wonderfully informative. I love avocado and grapeseed oil, I almost never use olive oil. I’ve been using calendula for about a year now. Will start using plantain. 😊
Kindly I need some help. I have dried rue and am confused which is the best oil to combine. I want to use this mixture for aches and pains. Thank you for sharing and keep up your wonderful job God bless you
