This is so true- waste none, whenever possible! :pray:

So many oils to explore! I appreciate the note about the long shelf life of olive oil- that’s an important thing to keep in mind when choosing a base. My mother recently made some salves and I think she used a combination of coconut oil and jojoba oil :amphora:

The first salve I ever made was with an herbalist in Tuscany and we used a more… er, traditional? (not sure if that’s the word I should use here lol) base for the herbal salves which was pig fat. Felt great on the skin, but ohhhh boy was it stinky went it went bad :joy:

I definitely want to try with the olive oil :olive: :sparkles::grinning:

Thank you so much for this amazing recipe, @Mistress_Of_Herbs- it’s really a blessing! :pray::heart:

@Mistress_Of_Herbs thank you! I tend to use Grapeseed Oil, but since we have had the :olive: Olive post, I think I am going to use my EVOO for infusions too!

I have a couple of your recipes bookmarked, so I will get them at least in my laptop BOS before I transfer them… still figuring out how I want to separate my written one with the practices I regularly use. :laughing:

Yall are very welcome. By all means bookmark any recipe i share, save it to your BOS. Im ok with both. Please keep in mind i share things for yall that i think yall will find most beneficial, but if any of u have a question about an oil/herb or if u need something more specific please let me know. I have lots of recipes. Waaaaaayyy more than i have posted. And coming up with recipes is easy for me. I mean i even had a friend ask for a lupus blend. So im not shy, just ask.
