So glad that we can see these videos. I miss you, Andrea.
Excellent! If you use essential oils in your ointment, cool the salve a bit before adding the oils because the heat will harm the effectiveness of the EO's.
Also, make sure you buy quality oils. What you get from Walmart is, by law, allowed to say 100% as long as it's all oil. For example, it can be 75 parts olive oil and 25 parts tea tree oil but be labeled 100% tea tree oil. That is according to FDA guidelines.
I made comfrey and plantain salve for healing tendinitis in my foot. I mix and match all kinds of oils. I think I'm going to start a UA-cam channel on ointments, salves, etc because they are shockingly not common among most people. Thanks for sharing.
So grateful to be able to go back to these videos 💝 I love that she shares her essential oil and herbal recipes, these should be made into a book along with all of her other recipes and ideas!
Tank you. But you could change ratio of oil and bees wax amount in ml and gr. Then write down on this clip!
Fun fact: ganglion cysts are sometimes called Bible cysts because that was usually the heaviest book folks had in their homes. I had one that I got rid of by simply patting on it an d rubbing it (with a firm pressure) over the course of 3-4 days. I've felt two others coming on over the years and did the same. Worked great for me.
This is so interesting! Most of my family is employed in healthcare and I'm going to school to work in healthcare. I've always been told to take a pill for everything, pain, sick, stomach ache, headache, you name it. I wonder how much better I will feel if I started making medicine the natural way! Thank you so much for all your information!
I can not express how much I enjoy watching you. I love Essential oils. Tea tree and emu oil are wonderful for burns. My son had 2nd degree burns and I soaked his burn bandages in emu oil and overnight it improved so much they cancelled his skin graft. Essential oils work. i
Out of desperation from being sick on and off since Thanksgiving, I have given essential oils a try and I realize I should have gone to them first! They have worked wonders for us. I love Frankincense for skin and hope it works for your cyst. Thanks so much for the ointment recipe! ~Jennifer xx
I made an ointment and added Orchid Extract/Oregano Oil and Tea Tree Oil...I'm omitting the Oregano next time to give as gifts. It has a strong smell but has excellent properties. Thank you for your info. The ointment I made is fantastic. So much better than anything you can buy off the store shelf.
I have a book here that says an ointment is with petroleum, jelly or soft, paraffin wax and what you’re showing here is a salve. From the book encyclopedia of herbal medicine.
Loved this one. I use peppermint EO or lavender EO for migraines, tea tree oil for toe nail fungus (takes awhile to work). As a beekeeper the plantain is a must.
LOVE this video and topic this month! I get so intimidated by thinking about making things like this and you make it look so easy! I have things ready to make some tincture and ointments, now i just need to do it! I made an ointment once for my son's eczema and once for my knee (sort of like a natural healthy alternative to the hot cooling type creams you can buy. THANK YOU for doing this topic this month! I can't wait for more videos! I totally admire you, Andrea!
Super informative! Thank you, Andrea!! 😘
Looking forward to making some!!!! Thank you Andrea!
Awesome tutorial. I look forward to making it . You made it less stressful to try.
I am so excited over these video's thank you.
Thank you for this video. I can't wait to watch more.
I loved learning about this Andrea!!
So interesting!! I'm so excited to try this!!
you are about to be my biggest inspiration and obsession thank-you from New Zealand
Thank you for this God bless your beautiful heart inside out
Wonderful, this is amazing
I live in Mid-Missouri and going to make Chickweed salve - think you might have some use for this. You can also add plantain and comfrey. I have chickweed growing in the yard :( so might as well put it to good use - oh and I'll be adding lavender oil also. Great video.
Great tips Andrea, I think I'm going to give this ointment recipe a try and make a head cold rub! The printable seems very handy to, thank you for sharing! :)
Hello hrom Hamilton, Canada. Just came upon ur video. Very well done and loaded with great information. imake a lot of creams, salves, pain balms, serums. Love it. Everyday is a bright new day wiyh new ideas. Thks Andrea
This is really awesome 👏
I am so excited about this series. I am starting tomorrow listening to yr playlist u created on herbs while I nurse my little guy. can't wait to start learning
Yeah! As I said before, there's a lot religious beliefs/nutrition beliefs in them that I don't hold to, but there's so much great information on herbs and how to use them. I'm sure you'll learn so many things!
Thank u so much...this will help me to my research work🥰💖
Hi Andrea, my sister had a ganglion, and my cousin who is a nurse said to hit it with a book, or even a wooden ruler. That might help if the frankincense doesn't. By the way I love you so much you're such an amazing family and I can't wait for your newest arrival xx
This is so helpful! Thank you! Would also love to see in step by step video on how to use fresh herbs + oil + heat though.
off topic, but I'm hoping for a fridge and freezer tour sometime. I saw a glimpse of the fridge in one video and was intrigued :)
Kristin Cable I second this
Love this !
Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you 🙏🏽 so much Andrea!!!
Any recipe ideas for very itchy skin in tender area’s???
TIA…🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
that what i need, thanks
thanks for sharing. I really like the way you explain so gentle.
I had luck getting rid of a ganglion cyst in the same place using oregano oil. While I don't mind the smell, I think I prefer frankincense. ;) I get all my oils from Eden's Garden. Their prices are amazing, the oils are terrific, and they have free shipping. (Plus... Eden would probably get a kick out of it)
I do have a couple of Eden's Garden oils and you're right, it did excite Miss Eden!
I have gangion cysts! Both wrists. Def following
I like ur ways and blog
Just Lovely to see you!!! What a super video, l feel all inspired now. I haven't bought any new oils in a good while; l think it's time to add to my collection. I'll have a look over at your f.book page and I'm excited to visit your blog! I didn't know you wrote one.
I hope all your head colds are on their way out and you all feel better fast. ❤❤❤
Hi Tracy! I started my blog... sort of... last fall. I haven't done much with it, but I'm getting the hang of the whole website building thing. I spent quite a bit of time last week getting it in some semblance of order. (That's one of the reasons I didn't get much done with videos.) I'm hoping to make more regular posts.
That's fantastic! I'll enjoy popping over with a cup of tea in the quieter moments. Found your new Fb page today. So I can tell you about my order today to my supplier of oils, over on there! That's a nice place to share ideas and inspire one another. You have really renewed my interest in oils and I'm looking forward to learning about herbs, of which i know nothing. Thank you! ❤
of course his friend felt good you put wormwood in it lol. I'll have to try that peppermint one for stuffed noses. my oldest has that problem today too.
more. more. more i love this video.
The program is good
Thank you
I've only used olive and coconut oils and have discovered that coconut oil lasts much longer without going rancid.
Thanks for the interesting video. I have question: Supposing you had an extract of a herb in water or alcohol as opposed to an oil. Would the beeswax help to make it into an ointment. I assume the aqueous extract wouldn't mix with an oil.
Question what about rinsing and washing everything in your kitchen to prevent oil floods in sink and mess ?
great ideas!:) subbed
Hey, just listened to the first video on herbs and LOVED it! I also went to his website and made an order. can't wait for video 2 later today
Good! There's so much good information to glean from them.
Andrea Mills yes, there is! I love this subject, though. I wanted to know if you have any remedy for bad teeth? I have an infection and am getting it treated but don't want to have it pulled. I want to try and rebuild that tooth. Any ideas or herbs that I might be able to use to accomplish this?
We've use epsom salt water to swish and rinse to help draw out infection. Dr. Christopher and Rachel Weaver both recommend using Black Walnut as a tea or tincture to swish in your mouth several times a day and then you swallow it. (Rachel Weaver shares a story about someone who was in some sort of an accident and had badly damaged teeth. They had to wait for their jaw to heal before the dentist could start working on the teeth, so during the few weeks they were waiting this person used Black Walnut. When the time came to return to the dentist, all the cracks had healed on their own.) Another thing that we accidentally discovered was that cod liver oil, real butter and vitamin C used together can rebuild teeth. Thomas had a cavity that healed itself and I was trying to figure out what happened. After doing research I realized it must've been our daily breakfast of oatmeal (soaked overnight with a little lemon juice before cooking in the morning) with lots of butter, sea salt and heavy cream. (Plus sugar, chocolate chips or maple syrup for yumminess!) The kids also had eggs, fruit, a vitamin C and a cod liver oil capsule. Apparently butter oil, cod liver oil and vitamin C work well to rebuild teeth. I've noticed taking certain minerals like magnesium make my teeth better, too.
U r loaded with such good info. I am going to try this. Where would I get the black walnut? Is it a powder or in what form is it? I use real butter but I wonder if there is a certain kind of butter brand that is better than the others. I use Wal-Mart brand.
You can buy capsules or tincture from Amazon or you could buy leaves or powder from Mountain Rose Herbs to make your own tea or tincture. I just remembered that Black Walnut isn't recommended while breastfeeding. (I saw it on a list of herbs that decreases milk supply so I assume that's the reason, but I'm not positive. You may want to dig into that a bit or wait until the baby is weaned.) The best butter to use for healing teeth is something that's made from pasture-fed cows, if possible. You can find information about the particular brand you use on-line. (We used Organic Valley. Now we use Mother's Choice.) The benefit of the butter is the fat and the Vitamin K2. You can buy K2 supplements from Amazon also.
I think I read somewhere if you put vitamin E in the ointment it lasts longer? Thank you for you recipe x
A had it too, but my was bothering me so I went to doctor and had it removed. The only thing I didn't like that they put my hand and part of my arm into a cast! For 3 weeks ☹️
please suggest for increasing memory retention ..for exam time to have more attention n not feel sleepy..thank u
Do you have a recipe for psoriasis?
Hi! Can you make an oitment with a blue ternate flower
I was just wondering, with this month's focus, if you vaccinate your kids, and if you have any thoughts on that? My kids are vaccinated, but I have friends who do and friends who don't, and know a few people who feel very strongly about it one way or the other. I am undecided about the efficacy of all vaccines, but as I say, mine are vaccinated according to the Australian schedule.
Thanks this is a great video but just wondering what are the substitutes for beeswax? I'm only concerned about the fact that we are decimating our bee population and don't want to contribute to that so if there's an alternative I'd like to look into it
What’s the ratio as I want to make a bum balm but only want to make a small amount, and my 1st attempt I added too much beeswax
Is it just about playing around with it
is that cold pressed virgin coconut oil?
Am interested in making onitement but I don't have the broad idea, please can you be of help?
I find this extremely interesting, though I am skeptical about the essential oil craze. I do know that I stumbled across Manuka Honey when my middle child was getting MRSA boils. I was desperate. He kept getting them in his diaper area and had a major reaction to the most conman antibiotic used to fight MRSA. His pediatrician told me that there was only one more on the market and if he had a reaction that he'd have to be admitted to the hospital for IV antibiotics every time he got another boil. So I bought a jar on Amazon and it worked! I would rub it on his boil, cover it with a band-aid and change it as needed. It was a miracle for our family. So while skeptical, I am interested because what if it works the same way that Manuka Honey worked for my family? Anyway, very interesting video!
TheRainerific Manuka is tea tree essential oil!
Katie Carnahan thanks! I did get melalueka and Manuka mixed up.
Hi,
How to make dermovate ointment cream homemade. I dont understand why google dont know the reality of ingredients of dermovate ointment brown .. do u know how to make it....?
Can I use avocado oil
I've a ganglion cyst too, mine is on the inside of my wrist, I dont have that type of oil yet so I'm really interested to see if this helps yours at all. I recently went to a doctor for something else and had him look at it to make sure thats what it was, He said if its not bothering you then you can just ignore it. He also said he recently had one, and was scheduled for a surgery to have it removed, and like a week before his surgery, he hit it on something by accident and it burst or whatever (the bible thumping method lol) he said it hurt like mad and he REALLY wouldn't recommend it so hopefully the oil works !
Does the bees wax serve a purpose in the ointment, or is it just to make it firmer? Our house is cooler so our coconut oil seems to stay pretty solid, Ive just been warming a little and adding some oil to it, then letting it firm back up. using lavender and peppermint oil to help with fibromyalgia pain and migraines. It does seem to help some. I've just recently started looking into oils and more natural healing, So im really excited to see what your going to be sharing with us this month! Sorry this is so long, but i love you channel :) and thanks for sharing your wonderful family with us!
The beeswax is for thickening, but it does have it's own medicinal value. If you find you don't need it, though, I wouldn't worry about it.
May I know much time it will long lost on our skin
How long does this last?
Ive made these types with just essential oils & coconut oil. you made it kook so wasy to use beeswax & make a ointment. oh, I am inspired! Peppermint is great for headaches. i should make one for that! Is beeswax ok to use on the face?
Yes and it's got it's own medicinal benefits, too.
Andrea Mills excellent!
Oooooh! This is so interesting! My husband has had issues with cellulitis in his legs, too. I will try making that ointment! We've been back and forth with doctors for over 11 years! You are a true inspiration! A God send! Thank you, friend! -Teresa
How could I have ur plain plant
I think that's what I had when I was younger. I don't remember what I did but it disappeared suddenly.
I have a ganglion cyst on my right wrist. I've had it for years. I've never tried any ointments on it but I have mashed it with a heavy book, it busts (under the skin), but comes back after a while. They really not painful or bothersome, mostly unsightly. You can have them surgically removed, which is an option I've never considered. If you choose to mash it, the more you do it, when it comes back, you can apply pressure with the thumb of the opposite hand and mash it. What brand of oils do you buy? Doterra is so expensive, the thought of 50 drops makes me a smidge nervous, lol.
I'm all about using what I can afford. (Or maybe I should say using things that are in a price range I'm comfortable with.) Better a cheaper oil than no oil at all! Most of my essential oils are the Mountain Rose Herbs brand.
Alicia Sturgill You can find essential oils at natural grocery stores or on Amazon for reasonable prices. They have been around a long time. Purchasing from expensive companies is not necessary. After using them, you will realize that one tiny bottle goes a long way!
What would be the measurements/ingredients for a salve for MRSA? I read jojoba oil with oregano, eucalyptus, tea tree. Any tips would be great! Also I swear by oregano oil! It's so good for viruses , cysts. Also just discovered Makuna Honey! Are you familiar? Love these videos Andrea, thanks for posting.
I love these types of videos.
I've never used Manuka Honey though I've read great things about it. When I made my MRSA ointment, I used 100 drops of tea tree and 100 drops of eucalyptus in a cup of oil. You can really do it however you want, though. (That was the ointment I gave to Tom's friend.)
Hi Andrea! So did it go away with the ointment or did you smash it also? My mom had one of those & it ate through her tendon. She had surgery to remove it & was in a splint for 6-8 wks after. After she got the splint off she had to have surgery for carpal tunnel because she over worked her thumb while in the splint. (It was funny at the time)
It's much smaller, but not completely gone. I've slacked off the last few weeks. I need to get back at it!
Wondering if you have a recipe for osteoarthritis pain in knees. I tried coconut oil and peppermint oil, and the pain in right knee, which is worse than my left, went away for a little while, but not long. Thought maybe you had a recipe.
I've heard that massaging Moringa Oil on the joints can help. (You can buy it on Amazon.) Here's Dr. Christopher's recommendations. www.herballegacy.com/Arthritis.html (Most of his formulas are available on Amazon.) Here's the Earth Clinic page about what regular people have tried and how it worked: www.earthclinic.com/cures/osteoarthritis.html
thank you so much!
I was just reading about capsaicin (chile peppers) for arthritis and I had to share it with you. Apparently it relieves pain and rebuilds synovial fluid over time. You can apply it as a cream to the affected areas; the longer you use it (as in months) the better it works. Some people get some irritation at first, but apparently it's extremely effective. Here's a link for one kind on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Rugby-Capsaicin-0-025-Generic-Zostrix/dp/B01INL84NM/
I will try it and see how it works for me. Thank you!
What kind of oil did u used? the white one before the beeswax? Kindly answer my question please just for our school project. ☹️ thanks!
Coconut oil
Does the oil and beeswax mixture need to cool before adding oils? Would the heat hurt the composition of oil?
I never let the oil get very hot in the first place. (I try to keep it at 120 degrees or less.) If it does get very hot, let it cool down quite a bit before adding the essential oils. If you add them when it's very hot, they may lose potency. (They're not going to be harmful, just less helpful.)
Can't wait to try this! May I ask where you get your oils? I have tried researching but it is so confusing. Use this brand. Don't use this brand. I'm so confused!
I usually get mine from Mountain Rose Herbs. Sometimes I get them from Azure Standard when I do a food order. As I've said on other things, I'm not going to get all up-in-arms over whether I have the best one. I get what's available at a price I'm okay with. In my mind, it's better to get less than the best than nothing at all!
Thanks! Will let ok them up. I generally feel the same way about things... more expensive is not always best!
I had a ganglion cyst last year and frankincense worked beautifully for me! I used it 3-4 times a day (just whenever I thought about it, really) for about a week and it was completely gone. Essential oils for the win!
Good to know!
How do you feel and or what do you do for women's health? I'm looking for natural alternatives to a regular yearly check up with the mammography. Any tips or suggestions for websites?
This is just me and I'm not saying anyone else has to think this way, but I personally am not a fan of preventative care and checkups. From what I've read and understand, they're more of a way to get healthy people to pay for medical care so it increases business and, at the same time, they often _cause_ problems and detect things that would resolve themselves if left alone. I'm 38 and I don't plan to embark on a regular course of mammography and cervical checking. I plan to follow my grandmother's way. She's 82 and never goes to the doctor. She takes a few vitamins and enjoys life without the worry and hassle that most people her age deal with. Personally, I just pay attention to our health at home and I reserve the doctor's office for _when_ there's a problem I can't handle, not to see _if_ there's a problem. Doctor's shine when it comes to acute, emergency situations. For most other things I think we're better of taking care of ourselves. Here's a video of a doctor talking about mammograms; I just looked it up so I'm not sure what his whole angle is, but maybe it'll get you started on your own research: thetruthaboutcancer.com/video-mammograms-cause-breast-cancer/
Thank you for this insight! And thank you for the link for the video! I too tend to agree with your direction, it's hard to find people that lean on this way of medical care or I guess I should say natural care that God has designed for us. I appreciate all that you do on your videos, I appreciate you sharing your family with us, I appreciate your sharing your time and energy with all of us! You are a remarkable woman and I do love your testimony. Thank you again for reminding me of Proverbs 14:1!!!!!!
Andrea Mills i just read that interview and i'm literally shocked... makes me wanna look into everything ive been told by my doctors and every surgery ive had and if there would have been alternatives etc
I use plantain leafs all the time ppl had never heard of it an thought I was nuts
So I might have missed where it was said, but if you use herb infused oils, how much do you use in the recipes? What would equate to the 50 drops of essential oils? like I know that 75 drops makes a teaspoon in cooking, so would it be around that or different?
The recipe would be one cup of herb infused oil with 1 ounce (3 Tablespoons) of beeswax.
oh okay so if I used coconut oil, for example, I'd infuse the coconut oil then add the beeswax and skip the essential oils addition?
Yes, that's exactly right.
I need consultation
Hi Andrea, I was unable to open your facebook site it said the page may possibly be broken. Unsure what this means. Would love to learn and share there,, especially making my own medicinals and did I see sewing too? (I got to see the page until it prompted me to sign in tried twice same response “page may be broken or taken down.” Is this just on my side? lol
Unfortunately Andrea passed away in 2019. I am so glad that she was so helpful to you. There are lots of her videos on the channel with sewing and herbal things. I didn't know much about those things however. It makes me happy that she still helps people.
Small Castor oil pack should get rid of the cyst.
I was using castor oil, but then I decided to try the frankincense. I should've used castor oil to make my ointment! Oh well...
Andrea Mills It's nice to experiment and try new things! The great thing is that you can let us know how it works! hope it leaves soon :)
Andrea, where do you get your plastic containers that house your herbs?
I got them from US Plastics. You buy the jars and lids separately, but all together they're $1.15 per quart jar.
Jars: www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=123105&catid=604
Lids: www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=123114&catid=604
Andrea Mills ...Thank you, I looked up all those books & (not Dr. Christopher's) they are all $25 & up used (on eBay & Amazon). Time to hit the used book stores. I'm gonna start building my herb collection & work on an ADD recipe. My son us very excited to help in his own healing. He wants to do better & be his own personal best. God has called him to be more than a conqueror.
Are you on Pintrest? follow me @ Cindy Neisler or JoshsCindyLou. I'm making boards with all your videos to share with others. I have about 2,500 followers.
love u
So sweet and gone too soon💔🦋
Can i use petroleum as the ointment base?
Yes, you can. In fact, petroleum jelly is especially good when you want to protect the skin. I use that for my homemade diaper rash ointment because it helps keep moisture from getting on the skin.
How long does it last or is good to use? Does it expire?
I would say at least a year. It might lost potency over time, but it's not going to be harmful.
Hi
❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
what about coughing and chest cold...
In the past I've made ointments with garlic and onion. They're great for congestion. (We called it Pizza Ointment because of the smell.) As for coughing, we usually take a spoonful of honey. I haven't read this, but here's an article about the best essential oils for colds and flu. Maybe it'd be helpful. www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjt7a-XzdfSAhUs7YMKHfPuCJQQFggjMAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.offthegridnews.com%2Falternative-health%2Fthe-9-very-best-essential-oils-for-treating-colds-and-flu%2F&usg=AFQjCNGNkjvrfrw-xJL9BbkZcZSP6lcCJw&sig2=8EGhJwqmdD-bm2RiumG_Cg&bvm=bv.149397726,d.amc
Thank you 😃
Isn't this so expensive? I just looked into EO's recently and wow, I said forget it, it's going to break the bank. What are your thoughts about the pricing?
I went to an essential oil party once when Eden was a baby and I realized right away I wasn't going to get into those as a hobby. I couldn't believe the prices! I remember wanting to get Oregano Oil at the party and it was like $60 a bottle. Not happening. About 2 years ago I got a bottle of the Mountain Rose Herbs brand. It's $11 for the same size I would've got at the party. I don't know if it's the same quality or not, but as I think about most things- better "low" quality than none at all! I'm far from a purist on anything. I'm a "do-your-bestist." I first started using oils about 15 years ago and I've got my collection I've gathered over the years, but I'm far from an expert on them. I barely consider myself knowledgeable. When a need arises and it seems like an oil is the right thing, I order it. Generally, though, I use herbs much more.
I use and love doterra oils but I also love Hopewell oils (hopewelloils.com). I can't remember how I found her website, but she is so kind and knowledgable and I love supporting her. She has a large family (8 kids) and they have a little family store where she originally got into selling essential oils because of a couple of great experiences they had in their family with EOs. They are Christians, too. I emailed with her a bit about purity and testing the oils and it sounds like they are top notch (work with the best in the field) and very managable price-wise, plus she has lots of different oils available, in addition to other related products.
Whatever you do...don't get it removed!(which I know you won't because you're smart)but It really isn't worth it. I had mine removed and it was the worst recovery ever for such a small issue.
ganglion cysts were once called Bible Thumpers...
So exciting...I am gonna try something...
You look like a legit Herbalist though :D
What is your Facebook page name so I can find it?
It's AndreaMills.TV, just like the web address of my blog.
My nanny would have always said to hit it with a bible! Lol, nanny as in grandma! I have a lump above my eye, same shape and feel as the one people would get on their wrist, ive been to the doctor many times and they can't work out what it is lol. But she would have always thought a wack with the bible would help (my parents never did it of course)
