Making Dandelion Oil || Quick Method

Hi everyone! I picked some Dandelions the other day and wanted to bring you along and show you how to make a Dandelion infused oil using the quick method.
This oil is extremely versatile. You can use it to craft a salve, balm, or add to a homemade lotion for dry, chapped skin. Use it in a warm bath for extra moisture, on your cuticles, in your spellwork ect.

Lovely video. Thank you for sharing. I'm excited for Dandelions to start growing. They haven't yet here.

[@thebotanicalwitch5208]

Thank you! They just finally started popping up here in Colorado

[@kalechip205]

Great video! Do you think I could infuse it for several weeks and then also heat it in my crockpot, or should I do one or the other?

[@thebotanicalwitch5208]

Absolutely you can!

[@golffoxtrotyankeehooligan222]

So tell me exactly how you use dandelion oil?

What do you do with the pulp? Throw
Away ? And how do you eat the oil?

Lovely thank you . I gathered up some dandelions a few weeks ago to make honey and I forgot my little foraging bag , so I was out with my daughter and we just used a poo bag , eh well I left it lying on the table when I got back and my mum bless her flung it out ! Lol oh dear I just had to laugh , but thank you for this, your videos are so calming xx

How do u make honey with dandelions?

[@lisawatson3467]

How do you keep your flowers from turning fuzzy when letting them dry out? I’ve used dehydrater on lowest setting, air dry for a few days but still seem to bloom

[@KonsciousBeau]

Try turning them upside down ❤

[@thebotanicalwitch5208]

I just leave mine on the counter for a day or two to air dry.

Doesn’t heat cause oxidation on olive oil? You kill all the good stuff when you cook it😢

[@gilbertdavenport4389]

And how much do you take daily?

[@thebotanicalwitch5208]

@gilbertdavenport4389 i don't usually use this internally, but love making salves, lotion, and lip balm from this oil.

[@J2S2B]

How much oil or doesn't matter and what type

[@thebotanicalwitch5208]

@@J2S2B I use the folk method and don't measure it. I just fill the jar up with avocado or olive oil

[@Odins_Serpents]

What oil do you use to add to the dandelions?

[@thebotanicalwitch5208]

Hello! I used a pure olive oil, however you can use any oil you'd like. I would stay clear of using vegetable oil though

Is this oil good for skin.?

[@thebotanicalwitch5208]

Absolutely!

[@ninashaw7653]

Great video. I just olive oil i do not heat. I keep my flowers inside the jar with olive oil. Too use in cooking or for the skin. It will not need too be used by a certain date that way 💜🙏☘️

[@craigrmeyer]

Apparently no one makes dandelion essential oil with steam distillation. Is there a reason for that?

[@thebotanicalwitch5208]

There are a couple smaller companies that do, however I don't really know the answer to this

[@craigrmeyer]

@@thebotanicalwitch5208 Hey even this is good information. Thank you.

[@deanablythe9394]

I would guess that because it's an expensive process and maybe they don't think there is a large market for it.

[@TheAdventure2]

What oil??

[@thebotanicalwitch5208]

I used olive oil, but you can use whatever you have available

[@jovylearnsmore4066]

Where do you use it? Salad or for insect bites or arthritis?

[@thebotanicalwitch5208]

You can add it to salad, or marinades, or make salves

[@jovylearnsmore4066]
