To infuse your oil, you will need to follow a 1:5 ratio. 1 part herb/plant/flower to 5 parts carrier oil (an olive oil, almond oil etc). Infuse by following one of the 3 methods:
1. Place the jar with your herb/oil in your window sill in direct sunlight for about 4-6 wks.
2. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F & then turn off. Place your jar in the oven for 3 hours.
3. Use a double boiler on your oven to infuse your oil for about an hour or so. (I show you how to do this in the video)
Ingredients for salve:
1. Infused oil (made the way we discussed in today's video with whatever herb/flower/plant you've chosen)
2. Beeswax
3. Essential oils of choice (optional)
This recipe is made with a 1:8 ratio. You can make as much or as little as needed. Just make sure to follow the 1 part beeswax to 8 parts infused oil. The more beeswax you add, the more solid your salve will be, less beeswax will render a creamy salve. So feel free to play with this ratio depending on the type of product you want. But the 1:8 ratio is a good starting point if you're not really sure. In today's video I used 32oz of white clover infused oil with 4oz of beeswax. This gave me (6) 5 oz jars of salve.

As a homesteader I really enjoy being able to make my own home remedies for our family. Salves are one of the easiest DIY projects you can make. You can make whatever kind of salve you want...be creative. You don't even have to have a garden full of herbs! We picked wild grown white clover right from our own back yard for this recipe! Salves are fantastic for moisturizing your skin, using as a lip balm, cuts, scrapes, bug bites & more. They're great to have handy. I hope you guys enjoyed this video!
Thank you 🙏 ❤I only just started foraging and my husband let the grass grow and amazing what popped up! So I have picked white clover and something I never knew what it was called until I used a plant Id and then confirmed it in books as SELFHEAL…wow! So I have already got fresh ones of both in vodka for a tincture and waiting for the others to dry to make infused oil and then a salve! So this was super helpful! I am so sad we don’t get taught this is school (in the UK anyway) and I never had anyone else to show me. Making sure I can learn all I can and pass it to my daughter to start making a change even if it’s a small one ❤
Amazing . 🎉🎉 i will be using this in my body butters too . Ty!!
This is interesting! I made Wild Violet Jelly last week. I also collected all my dandelions to made dandelion Jelly tomorrow! I'll have to collect them for salve the next time! 🥰
Ohhh yes Teresa! It makes a wonderful salve! Mmm violet jelly?! Wow! That sounds delightful! 💜
@@HomeFreeAlaska it is very good! It has a lemonish-honey flavor to it! I got my recipe off CZcams.
Omg! Loved this video. Thank you
Thank you Jen! So glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
A lovely comprehensive tutorial. Thanks for sharing.But, I have yet to find a vegan chanell for salves and will keep looking luv n light x
I love a sweet mediciney smell. You stay busy with interesting things.
I try to friend! Especially right now in the apartment! I know I won’t have that problem once we get to AK! We’ll have plenty of projects & adventures to keep us busy! 💜
I like your recipe. I have done some dandelion salve with orange essential oil. It is great to rub into achy joints & dry skin. Also have done my own lip balm with dandelion oil. Soooo inexpensive to make & great for the lips!
Yes, so inexpensive! You can buy the ingredients in bulk & they go a long way! ☺️
Yes. That's what I did. I bought the ingredients in bulk. I like knowing what is in the product that goes on my skin🙂
Hi! Do you have the actual written out recipe? Thanks. Great job!
Yep, it’s all written out in the video description!☺️ Thanks for watching!
Yeah, I made my own creams and soups too. And they are living in my fridge behind the lard...OMG I forget about them 😳😬🤫 thank you Tina for reminding me 🤭😝 its time for new one.
Haha! Glad I could help out Anna hehe! 🤣
Oh, My Goodness I didn’t know you could dandelions for salves and eat the roots. So going to try this with Dandelions and My Lavender!!
Yessss Angela! They are amazing plants. God is so good! 😍 And lavender? Don’t even get me started. 🤣 Love me some lavender!
Thanks Tina ! I have made slaves a long time ago, but you have inspired me to try it again. 💚
Hi Cindy! Yay! So glad. They’re wonderful. I always make a ton because like I said, they’re perfect gifts too! ☺️
Can rosemary and caster oil be used?
Wasn't sure if you realized that in Anchorage, Alaska there is a DoTerra product center. It is located on the north side of town so you won't have to go all the way into Anchorage if you want to pick up your oils. Also, if you choose to have them delivered it is so quick. I live in the Mat-Su Valley and usually have my order in 2 business days.
Hi Elaine! Really? I didn’t know that. That’s faster delivery than I get here in VA! 😜 Thx for letting me know. 😊
Can you whip it to make it more like a lotion texture?
You can make lotion but I’ve never done it. Ratios will probably be different as the beeswax hardens it. I would definitely look up a recipe, I don’t think this recipe would whip into a lotion because of the beeswax.😊
What would this salve be good for? I am trying to figure out how I want to use my white clover.
I use it as an all around good moisturizer! Put it all over, especially elbows & knees. It’s great for chapped lips & hands too.☺️
Do you dry the herbs first or do you use them fresh when making the oils
You can do either, but I throw the fresh ones right in the jar of oil.😊
Would the directions be the same if using dandelions rather than clover?
Yep! Exactly the same Lori! 💜
Can you tell me how much carrier oil woul i need for 10 cups of dandelions to make salve with please?
I would just put there herbs in a Mason jar, push it down to compact it and cover the herbs with oil, maybe add an extra oz or 2 ontop to account for settling of the herbs. As long as the herbs are covered after you stir it up you're good. You'll want to leave a few inches at the top of the jar so you can turn or shake it on a daily basis. You will probably need to break up your oil into 2-4 batches depending on the size of your jars.

Can bees be used on pets? Specifically dogs.
Hi Angie! I don’t understand your question. Can you rephrase?
once you've moved to Alaska, you're going to need to rename your channel so people will find it easier. Maybe Blessed & Beautiful Homestead in Alaska or put the word Alaska first. just a thought
Hi Jason! Yes we’ve actually talked about this! In fact a few months back, I made a post asking for all of y’all’s suggestions for a new name once we get to Alaska! We got sooo many good ideas!😊 We’ll be adding Alaska in there somewhere! ☺️
@@HomeFreeAlaska Good deal. I know some of my Alaska channels that I follow that don't have Alaska in the title can get lost in my feed and hard to find. The ones that are easiest to always find are the ones that start with Alaska. Looking forward to the move!
@@Jasonrcsd thanks so much for your input Jason! We appreciate it & appreciate you following our adventure! 😉
