I had lavender buds & chamomile flowers infused in olive oil. I used this infused oil for my soap bars. They smelled amazing! 🤤 Last month, I used calendula flowers infused in olive oil. I made body butter & lip balm using this oil infusion. I had bug bites on my leg & feet. They were itchy. I used my body butter on them that evening & next day, they were practically gone! 😳 I still have this oil infusion & I’m going to make bug bite salve from your live video today using my calendula oil infusion! 😻 I have another oil infusion which will be ready by the end of this week & it is chamomile flowers infused in olive oil! This is my third time making my oil infusion & I enjoyed doing this! ❤️
My herbs have arrived and I need to make infused oils to use after my knee replacement surgery. Enjoyed the lesson and the ease of making infused oils.
@@officialamygalper Calendula, Comfrey and Arnica. I will be making some tinctures with mullein and marshmallow, elderberry as well as syrup. I made a magnesium spray with lavender and helichrysum last night. No legs cramps and slept well.
@@officialamygalper I used the flowers of Chamomile, hops and lavender as a massage blend in olive oil to relax the calf muscles of my legs. Also Chamomile flowers infused in olive oil as a hair conditioner , adding a few drops of vitamin E as a preservative while storing for 4 months. I found both blends beneficial when used 😌
Helllo, first thank you for this very detailed video. I was able to purchase who calendula flowers from a local farm but not enough to make a full jar of oil. I purchased ground up flowers from either bramble berry or soapers choice (Can't remember), my question is, can I infuse the grounded up calendula flower purchased from one of these soaping companies? Do you have any recommendations as to where I could order these fresh herbs?
How much oil do you pour into the jar with herbs & how much infused oil are you able to extract? I feel like the herbs and cloth keep drinking all my oil 😩
Hmmm. I am not sure I understand your question. The trick is that you have to squeeze out the oil! I fill the jar 1/2 to 3/4 full of herbs then fill with oil.
Have you ever infused any herbs? They make great additions to your DIY skincare recipes!

Love infusing herbs in oil and storing them. Will use the proper cheesecloth and the herbal pressor method. 😊
What herbs have you been infusing? Thanks for watching!

Learning so much! Thank you
You are so welcome! If you are ever interested in taking classes let me know!
What’s the name of that extractor?? Nice video
It's called an herbal press. I put a couple of links in the description!
What’s the difference with using glass over plastic containers?
You should always infuse in glass! Plastic can leach the plastic chemicals which can be concerning for our health

You want to infuse dried herbs. My favorite online source is called Starwest Botanicals!
