Can you add this when making Candles? I am doing it with Rosemary right now.
Thank you very much. I have just harvested a lotta patchouli leaves from my garden and was searching for how to make the oil from it. Thanks a bunch :)
Nice 🎉
Awr somone put a lot of work into that for their kids :( makes me.sad that their work is just destroyed. My dad use to say he would build us a tree house but never did.
❤❤❤
this is not essential oil
I know you know what you said. 😄 You looked at the camera...
This is an infusion. But thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing its helpful 😊
Can you plant just 1?
I’m wondering the same thing.
Can I do clary sage flowers this way as I have no distiller? Thank you, Helena
Just bought an Enfusium 420 for infusions and a Vevor 50l Distiller for the essential oils themselves, seems pretty complex. Someone commented that heat can degradation quality, thank you for the tip. Anyone else use these two pieces if equipment? I haven't done it yet cause I'm trying to learn first. I have leukemia and am hoping my Italian oregano and rosemary can help with symptoms.
You aren't allowed to have an opinion? Yikes!
Anyone in a healthy relationship enjoyed that joke 😂
You want me to give it a thumbs up to show UA-cam it’s a good video before watching it? 🤔
🙏🙏
I saw your tomato hanging basket video, so i'm here to check out the progress. I see you planted hostas...you may already know this but most people don't know that hosta leaves are edible...just like any great, just like spinach, fresh or cooked.
I didnt know you had to warm it i out frankensence and mherr in oil and just let it sit and its very aromatic even without cooking. Idk if i did it right but its super strong and effective. Brings ke oeace i cant wait to get lavender to be trying yoyr method it must smell amazing❤
Could you use orange blossoms using this method?
Where did you go? I hope you're okay, I just found you and love your videos!
Teflon coated pan.. not good
If you have to keep sticking your Nose into the pots,to smell it. It cant be a very good recipe... when i make mine .. the whole house stinks of lavender 🤗
You think Lavender STINKS? ha ha ha Idk. I thought it was supposed to Smell Good.? 😀
Can I ask you, How You Make Yours? Thanks
Love it! Thanks for sharing.
For those beginners who want to grow *blueberries* in buckets: 01. Bucket 55l (15 gallon) 02. Soil from a pine forest 03. Mix the soil with pine twigs and pine bark 04. Pine bark mulch Purchased soil is dead soil. No doubt. Purchased fertilizer is not as good as slowly decaying pine twigs with pine bark. They gradually give the blueberries nutrients. If you really want to take care of the blueberry, it is a good idea to let pieces of pine bark stand in water for several weeks. As soon as the water "rusts", it also has a low ph, then water them. If you have blueberries in black buckets, they will heat up a lot in the sun and the roots will suffer. Either use white buckets or simply paint the black ones white or wrap them in paper or aluminum foil. One last piece of advice: the more varieties of blueberries, the more fruit you will have. *Failure is not possible with this procedure*
Why don't you start by using a small crock pot?
Fabulous thanks. I'm making rosemary oil. Thanks
I just bought 3 bundles of mint i want the cooling sensation in my hair oil. Will this way do that?
Hello, thank you for showing me making a DIY esential oil, i wish i could try to make. May i ask please, is it necessary to use crockpot since I don't have, any other option?
an infusion isnt an essential oil.
Time is NOTwtus important...SAFETY is! 2 story houses involving ladders is not worth the trouble!
I HATE WHite trim...gets dirty fast!
Like that thanks very much
Essential oils are done through distillation. The proper term for this process is the “fast method” for an infusion. Typically one infuses oil from 4-6 weeks. You also need to explain the sanitation of your jar and lid. You cannot exchange the term essential oil with infused oil. They totally different processes.
Thank you for the bright idea..Godbless!
Wow you are doing a Great work!❤💯
Works better with double boiler you are cooking the herbs
Why be so critical about the.oil?
Very nice ❤😊
What about your husband’s bath? Lol.
Can I add a drop of the essential oil into my water for drinking?
Instead of letting it simmer for six hours cd i pour it into a jar and place under sunshine for 6 hours?
I made a bunch of oils letting them sit in a sunny window. Is there any reason why we shouldn't leave the herbs in our oil? Meaning never straining because that's what I have done. I also keep them in the refrigerator to protect potency and oil with plants of any kind will eventually mold and lose potency. I have learned this from making FECO Full Extract Cannabis Oil. Keeping it in an amber glass bottle can really help to protect the potency and shelf life. I actually use grain alcohol to strip my Cannabis and then take it outside and cook of the alcohol in a double boiler. It has to be decarboxilated at 240' for 40 minutes outside of jars or 60 minutes inside mason jars on the oven rack. Then cool jars then add grain alcohol just covering the plant materials. Put outside in double boiler and cook off alcohol on low to desired consistency.
Can we use the slow cooker
Thank you for this video. Now i know how to strain through cheesecloth. How can she pick flowers and not rinse bugs and dust off and use it in main oil? Was wondering cause all plants have bugs or aphids on them.
This is not essential oil. You may say infused oil.
But doesn't the olive oil change the smell of the lavender oil? Suppose i want just natural lavender? Thanks
Beautiful garden and nice sharing friend.
😀 Wow thanks for the video, Im going to try your techniques for my lavenders. Can I use this same technique for frankincense and myrrh also or maybe have a video in how to make the essential oil of it too?. Cheers!
I'm trying to make my own oils this summer
nice video , but that's not essential oil.
Great info thank you
