I'm making my today, my dandelion s are from last spring, they soaked for a year. However I didn't dry mine, I put olive oil over them. I'm doing the wood stove double boiler method with two different size crock pot innerds I'll let you know what happens. Last year our library group learned to make dandelion jelly. It tasted a lot like honey. It was very good ❤ ❤
I did make some dandelion jelly a couple of years ago. I did freeze some of it and haven’t taken them out of the freezer yet. The jelly tastes wonderful with jalapeño cream cheese on crackers! It does taste like honey! It’s wonderful!
Hi Abbey I am Marlene @ Northern Waye Holdings .In northern Alberta . I am studying herbalism I cant wait until spring comes to our 150 acres so I can start foraging from our farm. I will try your recipe.
Hi Abbey and Marlene, 🙋🏻♀️🇨🇦Central Alberta here❤❤ I can’t wait to make some this spring, my acreage is toxin free so I harvest allot of my “weeds” 😊😊
Thank you for sharing🙏. We usually have a lot of dandinions in our yard. We do not spray them as indeed the bees 🐝 love them. I’ll try this salve this coming season. 👍🥰❤️
Good recipe! I had the granddaughter bring me some seeds so I can utilize dandelions for ourselves. Need to be careful though that they don’t spread to the neighbors!😁
Great video and thanks for sharing your recipe. I have a few dandelions in my yard, but not many. I've been picking the few i have and drying them out. Once I can get about a cup of them I will make this salve.
Our yard is bright yellow right now! I’ve always wanted to try this . Do you rinse the flowers off at all before drying? Also, what is the shelf life of this salve?
Oooo.... I watched a different video where she didn't mention drying them before infusing them... They're about halfway through the 4 weeks... what is gonna happen to them? Also: Can I fill a salve like this into tins? Or is glass better? What about light? Is it better if they are protected from light?
I don’t believe so based on various recipes. I’m using avocado oil and black seed oil. After soaking , I’m going to add a little castor oil since it’s the best for herniated cervical discs for me.
Thank you so much for teaching us how to make tallow balm. I'm always looking for clean, easy products for my skin. Do you have any hair care? Shampoo and conditioner type. My hair at 67 suffers greatly. I often use egg yolk and kefir in my hair.
For hair care, I don’t have a recipe for shampoo/conditioner. I often just use baking soda and apple cider vinegar. I haven’t heard of using kefir, but I’ve been curious about egg yolk. I do make my own dry shampoo and a texture spray for styling.
@Abbey Verigin my granddaughter, showed me to mix egg yolk with yogurt. I had kefir so I mixed them. I use kefir as a hand cream and on my face in the winter.
Yes as low as possible and crack the door. The point is to dry it enough that no moisture is left to cause a mold. The flower heads hold alot of moisture, but it’s an important part of the flower. Dry slowly , i combo a towel on my table for drying and turning over and a little oven time.
You absolutely can/should depending where you harvest. Where I harvest is quite secluded so I don’t feel it’s excess art. Just make sure you dry them well after washing :)
I made some 2 years ago and it didnt work for me but my 29 year daughter found emence amount of benefit from it for her pains!

I have heard great things about dandelion jelly but haven't tried it myself

Hi Marlene. 150 acres - amazing!

Just found you today. Thanks so much for putting the recipe and other information in the description box.
Always! Thank you for watching Connie!
The leaves are an excellent diuretic.

I'm drying my dandelion's right now! I'm so excited - I've never done this before!
Awesome!!!
Good recipe! I had the granddaughter bring me some seeds so I can utilize dandelions for ourselves. Need to be careful though that they don’t spread to the neighbors!😁
That’s great! I’m sad I didn’t catch this video until the very end of our dandelion season. ☹️ Will definitely make this next spring! 😊
It’s that time!! 💛 don’t forget
@@hippychick77mine are drying ❤ along with Camilla petals. Can’t wait for lavender and rosemary time!
Currently infusing lemon balm for salve, will definitely try this soon. Blessings
I haven’t made a salve with lemon balm - I’ll add that to my list!
Hello 👋 Abbey a wonderful upload on the benefits of dandelion plants
🌿🌼🌿
Yeah, it comes together really quickly in about a month!
So in a month u can quickly do it
Always have something infusing or tincturing or soaking (grains) or fermenting (veggies)…
Great video and thanks for sharing your recipe. I have a few dandelions in my yard, but not many. I've been picking the few i have and drying them out. Once I can get about a cup of them I will make this salve.
How much are you supposed to take. Like tea spoon or table spoon a day?
@@puppylife7459 It's a salve to be used on the skin.
Thanks, I actually have all these things in my cupboard for making this. Easy guide.
Thanks for sharing this I have made many salves this is a great one!
I agree! Thanks for watching :)
U made it so simple, thx! 🎉
Happy to hear that!
Thanks for sharing your video.
Interesting, thanks for the idea!
Thank you #SaveSoil #Consciousplanet
Thank you ❤
Love your videos! So informative and understandable. Thank you for sharing. Would like to see more herbal remedy videos and maybe some salsa recipes.
Thank you Dawn! I hope to share more now that preserving season is slowing down.
This was delightful. Thanks so much!
Where can I get the bees wax if you don't mind?
The dehydrator doesn’t work for flowers, I just did some at 95 and half of them poufed into seeds 😂
you can melt wax in the microwave
Can I use coconut oil instead of bee wax?
Does it have to be extra virgin olive oil? I have a good quality olive oil just not extra virgin.
Just found this channel love it
Thank you very much!
Our yard is bright yellow right now! I’ve always wanted to try this . Do you rinse the flowers off at all before drying? Also, what is the shelf life of this salve?

Also: Can I fill a salve like this into tins? Or is glass better? What about light? Is it better if they are protected from light?
It will likely just have a shorter shelf life! You can definitely use tins. Best to store somewhere dark and cool :)
❤
😊😊
Can you replace bee wax for something else? Thank you
Sorry if I missed it but does the salve last indefinitely?
So neat! Is there a second type of oil that mixes well with OO? Maybe castor or Jojoba? Or would those additional oils through off the recipe?
I don’t believe so based on various recipes. I’m using avocado oil and black seed oil. After soaking , I’m going to add a little castor oil since it’s the best for herniated cervical discs for me.
I love your Channel. And your easy on the eyes.
Weird thing to say
Thanks for sharing, I am Vegan and use canouba wax, just as good in case anyone's interested luv n light x
Can animals have some of this too?
How long will this be good when stored?
Can I use canola oil?

Is the bee wax 1 oz or 1oz and 1/4 you mentioned something different? What would the shelf life be?
Also what would be a good essential oil to add if any how much?
If you have ozzing sores, do not use any salve with oil in it.
Did You harvest the bees wax or order it?
Can the dandelon dry in the over very low not burn
Yes as low as possible and crack the door. The point is to dry it enough that no moisture is left to cause a mold. The flower heads hold alot of moisture, but it’s an important part of the flower. Dry slowly , i combo a towel on my table for drying and turning over and a little oven time.
When I dry my dandelions they turn white at the base. Does this affect the outcome?
No. That’s normal . If you look closely , you will see her dried flowers in the mason jar has turned white at the base as well😊
Yes this is totally fine!
Why dry them?
So no moisture to grow mold
@@cmlackey1 ooh that makes sense thank you 🌻
Yep just remember oil and water don’t mix - it’s easy
@@colleenpritchett6914 thank you
To save for tea
🙏🕊️☀️💛🌼💛🌼💛🌼💛🌼💛🌼💛🌼☀️🕊️🙏
I'm vegan, is there a replacement for beeswax?
Hi Suzanne. You could just use the infused oil in place of the salve
What about coconut oil?
Don’t you want to wash the dandelions first?
You absolutely can/should depending where you harvest. Where I harvest is quite secluded so I don’t feel it’s excess art. Just make sure you dry them well after washing :)
Looks like a hot mess literally!
