Guest guest Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 Has anyone ever tried to make helicrysum infused oil? I got the dried flowers and I was thinking of making infused oil and then adding essential oil to it for healing. Any thoughts? Best carrier oil? Thanks and have a wonderful day.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 No, but what a great idea! Could you use hazelnut for infusing as it's transdermal and would get the goodies to the gripe faster. Please talk about how you infuse as I'd love to learn more. People seem to have so many ways of doing this. I'm one of those that thinks that helichrysum works on just about everything and it sure would be nice to infuse the stuff.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 They are Helicrysum stoeches. Flowers whole yellow. They smell wonderful. They are just listed as from Europe - not a specific country. Thanks for any thoughts.

Hi I think this wouldn't work on several levels: 1. Only the fresh flowers are used in distillation, which tells me they must lose their healing qualities after drying, like SJW flowers. 2. You're not sure of the species you got when you purchased them dried. There are probably hundreds of species of Heli, many of them called 'straw flower' used in the dried flower business. On the other hand, being a Libra, I have to look at the other side, and say 'try it'. Use olive oil, use a water bath, and then try to do an objective test on people, seeing if the stuff works. Who knows, you could discover that they are usable, undistilled, dried. http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady © Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
