health food store closing and I bought....

[Guest guest]

I bought some things from the health food store that is closing, I will list the

items and I had thoughts of infusing some of these tea bag contents in oil for

making salves and balms, tell me what you think of these great buys:

St Johns Wort

Feverfew leaf

Chickweed (for exzema salve)

 

EO's

Burdock Root extract from root(1 oz) ?

Jewelweed (liquid extract from fresh herbs)

Clary Sage Oil

 

Hemp Seed Oil

 

So if anyone knows what salves would these items be good for I would appreciate

the info, you can email me personally, if you want martismith50

Marty,

Sounds like you got a nice deal..

However, SJW is not much good dried, unless used as tea and even than

marginally. The potency all depends on when it is picked.

I use clary sage in a cream with geranium for help with menopause

flashes. But also used the EO.

Christa,

Ok SJW if I use the tea infused in oil would it be better ? Humm well maybe I

need to buy the seeds and plant so I can have it fresh. Marti

Marti,

If you want the SJW for nerves it's Ok to use the tea or pills.

But for it's other beneficial healing qualities, like pain and skin

healing, it's best to have fresh infused SJW oil.

One infuses the blossoms into olive oil when they are ready*. Ready

means when the SJW blossom leaves a purple stain on your fingers when

rubbed.

Dried blossoms usually do not have much potency.

About planting SJW for oil, be warned it takes a lot of blossoms for the

oil, it's one of those herbs that are better when wild crafted,.If you

live in an area where they grow, scope out the fields for their yellow

blossoms.

They are about to pop in Michigan. a little slower than usual, we've

hard a cold and rainy summer so far.

Pick the blossoms on a dry warm day ( after you have tested them) and

stuff into a glass jar. I let them wilt for an hour or so.

Fill the jar with olive oil, topping off the flowerheads.

Put out into the sun.

After a few days you will have a beautiful red oil.

Strain through an unbleached coffee filter into smaller bottles.

Marti,

 

I am so jealous! You got Hemp seed oil! The jewelweed should be good for some

poison ivy salves!
