Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Hello all! I joined this list a few weeks ago and haven't had time to introduce myself yet. Sorry to be so remiss! I am a soapmaker that has branched out into salves, liniments, and other herbal remedies for the skin. I am a student of Appalachian culture, specifically the herbal remedies of the past. I'm currently trying to learn to identify the native herbs around me. I've learned plantian, chickweed, mullein, mint, and jewelweed. I'm hoping to soon find St. John's Wort and pennyroyal. I joined this list hoping to learn from those you who make your own preparations. I hope to learn how to properly infuse my herbs, dry them, and store them. And which manner is best for which herb. I would also love to learn which herbal combination is best for which complaint, etc. I have a recipe passed down in my family for liniment that I'm preparing to add to my product list. I'm struggling to find an appropriate bottle to put it in. Do any of you make liniments and how do you bottle them? Thanks in advance for all your help, I hope I can share my limited knowledge with all of you. Blessings, Beth in OH Appalachian Heritage Soaps & Sundries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
