Mullein

[Guest guest]

Don't confuse Extracts with Oils they are NOT the same at all. Store bought

extracts are made with water and alcohol. My homemade extract is made with

Everclear 190 proof grain alcohol. EO from my understanding is made of the

pure pressed oils from the plant, and nothing added. The same goes for oils

like Mullein oil, which is made from the flowers oil and olive oil. Oils have

NO alcohol in them.
