You are amazing. Especially now it is so important to learn the values and uses of plants. I made my first Mullein tincture and am so proud of myself. I started using this tincture when I got a bad chest cold that was getting to the point of scary. My homemade tincture is really helping bring up the nasties from congestion. Its working better than anything I could buy. I cant wait to make more beneficial remedies for a home apothecary.

I am so glad I ran across your accounts, I have learned so much and have backed away from using traditional skin care products to using natural based. This was one of my first herbal oil infusions I made (Calendual is my all time favorite) and I have used this on my face every evening after washing and it has done wonders for my skin!! I have incorporated as well a Comfrey herbal oil infusion (with grapeseed oil) to use in the morning b/c it is lighter and does cause my skin to get oily. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and giving me and others the confidence to do all this!! Thanks for showing the real you and being human, it is a blessing!

Thank you for this video! I have a lot of calendula growing and soon will be harvesting. I could probably fill up 10 mason bottles! I do not want to buy many bottles of caster oil to do this. To save money, could I try the following? 1- Do everything you have done with one mason jar filled with the flowers and strain it out after 4+ weeks. 2- Next, fill up another mason jar with another batch of dried calendula flowers. And then instead of using another bottle of castor oil, ...use the newly made infused calendula oil over the new plant matter. 3- When that is ready after another 4+ weeks, then I would have a more potent product and not need to use as much infused oil at a time. since it will be about twice as strong. It's more work and time consuming, but I would save a ton of money and I'd have a more potent product in the end. Would that be ok?

Hi April. Not sure if you have time to answer questions here, but I'll ask anyways. Can I mix oils during the infusion process? I'm thinking of mixing castor oil with MCT and rosemary for a hair growth/scalp oil. My hair is far too thick to use plain castor so I wanted to dilute it with another carrier oil. I also wanted to say that I've purchased courses from well known/highly popular online herbal schools and they have none nothing but overwhelm and confuse me. I'm beyond grateful to have found your channel and wisdom. I've learned more from you over the course of a few days then I have from the courses I've purchased. I plan to order one of your books this week and then move on to the complete series.

Heya, yep you can blend any oils you'd like here! Sweet almond oil would be great too as it absorbs into hair effortlessly and is sooooooo much thinner than castor. You can also infuse them separately and slowly add small amounts together to find the ratio you like 😊 Also I'm glad to hear that my videos are helping you ✨❤️🌿

I am posting this comment from another persons comment below that you had responded to, just in case you don’t get notified when individuals ask under someone else’s commented question. I have heard from other u-tubers that they do not always see or are alerted they have a comment when they are place in that way. Anyways all that to say...Glad I love to read comments and learn more from what others ask😃👍🏼. So much to glean from...I am just looking back through some of your videos have you or would you do a video on addressing the marigold plant and how and why to use or not to use from your experience. I have seen other individuals with videos speaking and sharing on some uses but getting more information and resources to draw upon is always best. Being able to see multiple sources sharing mostly the same information helps to make better educated decisions, especially when learning about how, what and lengths of time needed to produce the end product. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge❤️ Also I was wondering if the Castor Oil needs to be organic? I have noticed even the non-organic bottled Castor Oils say hexane, paraben free along with being cold pressed and processed. I know you touch on it a bit in this video but could you clarify which would be the better choice. Especially if an individual were to be utilizing the Castor Oil for skin care, hair growth, eye care etc. Thank you again-:)

April, once the calendula oil is ready for use... would it work with beeswax to make a salve? I know that the olive oil infusion works well with beeswax but does the castor oil infusion? It is a different consistency, as you say “a little stickier” than olive oil. Thanks for sharing & for all you do to help so many!
@sheisofthewoods

Yeah it would work okay for a salve or a balm but it will definitely be sticky. So usually what I tell people is to cut it by like 20 to 30% with some olive oil or something when going to make it so it absorbs a little quicker ☺️
