My 16 year old granddaughter and I just made your "original" skin cream Tuesday! We had so much fun! (I had infused the herbs beforehand) I love the cream! Next time she visits, we will make some of your soap recipe! 😍
Hi!! I make lots of organic Soaps Conditioners, infusions ECT. If she would like a Free soap making book lmk. I do have a degree in Cosmetology, botanicals & Herbals..
Thanks for the inspiration! Going to try both with my teen daughter too.
This is maybe the third time I’ve watched this video. Finally I took notes and read comments. Heidi, you have so much patience and you explain things so well. You are truly so generous with your time and energies. I thank you! I’m off to round up my dried Herbs (with an “H”) so that I can infuse. God truly is good all the time! ❤
I've watched this multiple times also and for some reason hadn't "liked" it (thumbs up button). I'm finally going to make the infused oil today for skin cream!
I love it when you post into the links your playlist. One click and it goes into my CZcams library, such a blessing.
And a big thank you for all you do to help us along.
Great video, Heidi!
I just finished up a batch of each of calendula, lavender, violet, and rosemary. Next up is lemon balm.
Thank you for blessing others with this knowledge.💓🙏😘
Our daughter with eczema loves the skin cream recipe- says it works best. Heading out to gather herbs to add to this next recipe. Thanks and God bless you!
Wonderfully explained!! Thank you!!
I finally got a few minutes so I could comment. This came at a perfect time because I have been drying herbs for weeks. Thank you!! Many Blessings!!
WOW! I make my own lotion & lotion bars and never thought to infuse my oil before making it!
THANK YOU! I am growing bees balm this year so I'm going to give that a try! GOD BLESS!
I have been making a skin care oil blend like you did in this video, the only things I add that are not in yours that I can see are chamomile, rosemary and arnica. I leave everything in the oil until I need to use it and then strain everything out. My biggest problem is that I live in a warmer climate than you so my skin care cream tends to melt, I think I need to add a little more of the shea butter in my next batch. Thank you for the update.
You have a beautiful and youthful skin, no pimple or wrinkle...👏💕
Thanks Heidi for all the ideas, God Bless you and your family🙏✝️❤️
Thanks Heidi. This has been on my mind to attempt plus I was wondering about grapeseed oil too. All questions answered. Thanks again. Blessings to ❤
I juzt learned about red clover. so i forage them now using them, & took your Advice & use some new foraged herbs & Botanical oil Left Overs into my Fire starters..
sea mosses are fantastic for the skin and adding sea moss gel to the skin cream or treatment barm 😙
Your hair is beyond beautiful.
That is so kind, thank you!
Thank you so much for all you information and time you.put into explaining everything.
Perfect for next time. Thank you.
Thank you! Excited to make my own!
Thank you Heidi. 🙂
Blessings! 💜

How is the weather on your side of the state? We did have a few days of nice and fairly warm and several garden things finally started to take off but it has been cloudy ever since. At least it is warmer and we have only had a few little sprinklings instead of the downpour we had been getting
@@RainCountryHomestead it looks like we’re going to have a warming trend. Temps have been up and down making it even hard to get newly planted grass to grow! One day we will blink and jump up to hot weather and wish it was a bit cooler😆
@@rhondawelker6742 Right! Though it is doubtful it will happen here, it did for a few days last year! haha
GOD bless 🌺🌺🌺
At the moment I have plantain, calendula, daisy, helichrysum, and a fun mix : mate and spirulina, all infusing in separate jars, in olive oil, exposed to the sun but covered so they don't receive UV... I never had issues with olive oil turning rancid, but I have only done rather small quantities until now, to make face creams and balms, for myself and loved ones. I mix several infused oils then. However, having watched your video, I juste took inside my jars and decided to continue the infusing in a fresher environment! And the idea of making a big mixed plants infused oil is really appealing.
Back when I was first getting into infusing oils, I was infusing herbs in olive oil in my greenhouse. It was not getting direct sun where it was but did get quite warm and the oil turned rancid so I had to dump it
Good Joyous Morning Beautiful Heidi 🌹I was wondering if you've ever used Tallow in your lotions? I am learning so much from your video. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen! 2 Co.13:14 ❤
No, I have not
Hi Heidi 👋
Good morning🥰 I’ve got to do this because your skin is beautiful! I’ve got rosacea and blemishes and dark spots…
Research h202 I have read that rosacea or /could be mites and if sprayed on your face do not get in your eyes. Or just dab it on with cotton ball, let dry over nute repeat .... my daughter has this as well .. 🍀
Having success with cbd oil for age spots!
😊
I have dandelion blossoms in oil right now
I believe I have yarrow growing outside, but there's a poisonous lookalikes, I'm not sure about.. we'll see. Can't wait to get back to the Smokies Soon ASAP. So I can grow more. I have to grow or trade with local farms for some of my herbs & ECT...Everyone have a Blessed weekend..ahh, I'm glad you said Avacado oil..just got done making my own Avacado oil, Cold Pressed, now I know what good Avacado oil looks like, compared to store bought. It so much darker..
It is important to learn up on the look a likes so you can easily tell the difference. Please see this video, yarrow and the poisonous look a likes are actually one of the wild herbs I cover: czcams.com/video/NfoNDxJ5O-w/video.html
Any suggestions on herbs to add for acne scars or acne hyperpigmentation
Thank you Heidi! Do you dry your honeysuckle or use it fresh? I have a red honeysuckle and a white honeysuckle-is one better than the other?
They are all pretty much the same. There are some more likely to be used medicinally but they can all be used
Thanks You for the herb infused tutorial! Do you still sell the skin cream and healing salve?
I sell the skin cream on my store linked int he description box but not the specific "healing salve" but really, there is not a lot different between them anymore other than essential oils used
Gives me ideas on what to grow for summer when our season starts in Sept. What about Roremary? Any good? I have some Lavender dreid now so think I will dry some rose petals and do the 2 of them in infusion and then later make cream
Rosemary is a great option for the scalp oil to help with hair growth: czcams.com/video/G6zTFttT8EI/video.html
I make the Old Alabama Gardeners Comfrey salve recipe which contains Comfrey, olive oil beeswax and rosemary oil. His recipe infuses the comfrey into the oil in a crockpot on low setting with the lid off. I made this recipe using extra comfrey so the finished product is dark green and kept in the refrigerator. I'm absolutely shocked how good this salve works for skin irritation, muscle soreness etc. It's amazing for my compressed back. Slap some on a no pain for a good night's sleep!
Is using a crockpot in this manner not going to work using other herbs for infusions?
I am always leery about applying heat to my herbs as I want to make sure I am fully preserving the benefits the I do use low heat when making salves just long enough to melt all ingredients together
I tried looking for recipes for my trumpet honeysuckle but to no avail. Can I use the honeysuckle recipe for the most common honeysuckle?
I add vitamin E oil to stop the oils going rancid
Yes, and it is a good option for skin too though I have never found need to add it to prevent rancidity but that could be because I do not use oils that easily go rancid
very informative video, would you recommend the Herb Infused Oils Using the Alcohol Intermediary Method for the face? I asked because of the alcohol. Thank you.
I never use an alcohol based extract for my skin cream, only herb infused oil as is shown in the video
Idk but when I hear anything about God and how he's good it makes my skin crawl when looking at the past and current history of humanity and the world being run by evil. Makes me wonder why God isn't anywhere around to save anyone or anything. It's easy to say God is good when you're seemingly doing good. Cause those are your accomplishments not God's
Accomplishments are a gift from God; what you give, you get back 10 fold. What is happening in this world today is the evil that God is allowing to see who His real children are who are true believers in Him. Those are the people who are not afraid and put all their faith in Him and stand firm. We who are His children are the those who kneel ONLY to Him, we don't follow "man's" doctrines and dogma, we are the "Set Apart Ones." If you would rather follow evil and not Believe that God sent His Son, Jesus as the Messiah, to bleed and cover our sins, thats on you. I'm a whole Bible beliver. I follow God's laws; The Commandments and Laws of the Old Testament as Jesus did. Jesus came to wash our sins away our sins, not to abolish His Fathers Laws but he kinda "doubled-down" on them. For example; you are not to commit adultery, but Jesus said, you can't even lust over another woman. Simply get a Bible, and read it. That's as simple as I can make it for you. I'm not judging you; I am making you aware of a beautiful belief so that you may save your soul and live a life with no fear because God tells His children not to fear anything but Him. He us good all the time. Blessings and prayers to you @I see Jewelz 🥰
Many have problems with that statement but until you come to truly know Him and His word, it can be hard to understand. We say God is Good EVEN in the hard times, not just when things are good, and we have had our share of hard times. God also carried us through those times and yes, I give him credit for all of it. Even the things that people see as my own accomplishments because without Him, I would not be here today doing what I am doing, I can tell you that for sure.
God created man and gave him free will to make his own choice. Many choose to do evil. God did not make them do evil. We are all going to die some day. For some it is at the hands of others for some it is by other means and some live until they die of old age. He knows our time. We were not created to live here forever but what we choose now in THIS live will determine where we will spend eternity.
I've clicked on this video (even though I already watched it a few times) trying to find a question I posed and to see if Heidi answered it...I wish I knew exactly which video it was. Anyway, your comment kind of breaks my heart. God is sooooooo good, dear lady (assuming that from your "pic". You know, He does not cause evil. There IS an enemy who hates humans because we were created in the image of God and brought back into relationship with Him when we accept Jesus Christ's payment for sin, which we could have never paid. God created us with free will; He doesn't even force people to love Him or accept Him as Lord and Savior. His Holy Spirit can be rejected enough to where He will no longer tug at people's hearts to draw them into relationship. I pray you'll seek Him, sweet lady. I pray you'll give Him the opportunity to show you His love and faithfulness. Blessings on you, and I hope you'll see this.
Can you use oats straw in this infusion
This is fantastic does anyone give feedvack on if the skin cream works for treatment of skin conditions
I ve heard neem is fantastic for skin treatment as a herbal remedy infusion (even tho aviod using internally if pregnancy or feeding )
Yes, I have had quite a few come back with positive testimonies on it helping to heal a variety of things but I do not advertise it as a healing salve, I do make that too but I do not sell it.
Great video! I see so many people shortening the process by putting their herbs in heated oil. Its my understanding that that method degrades the benefits and I just won't do it. Your opinion? Blessings 🥰
Those are exactly my thoughts
I tried hyssop in sweet almond oil infusion in the sun. Just 2 oz to test the process. Should I do it differently? Thanks for the video. I don’t currently have any herbs you mentioned except calendula, but it hasn’t flowered yet.
Some people do sun infusions but I do not. Oil gets very hot when heated and I get concerned about it frying the herbs and destroying the benefits
Thanks Heidi. Do you dry your flower petals in dehydrator or leave set out to dry? What's the best way?
What is best depends on your climate and what you have. We can get pretty humid here so if there is no fire in the woodstove, I MUST use and electric dehydrator or they will never fully dry
Also, please see this video on dehydrating basics and tips: czcams.com/video/TgrRQzB2v_g/video.html
Be intresting fo know if these herbs can be taken as a herbal infusion as a tea to treat skin conditions such as neem
For example red clover rose and dadilion tea makes a fantastic treatment tea
Just the video I have been needing! I am thinking of using carrot seed oil (which I already using straight on my face), and either avocado, or grapeseed oil. Is there any reason why you shouldn't mix oils?
Mix away all you want just try to stick to oils that do not go rancid
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you!!!
Hi Heidi! I can’t wait for ur new Lilac video to come out! I’m super excited for that one since My lilacs are almost done blooming here & racing the clock to try to make as much as I can w/them b4 it’s too late especially for using fresh flowers b4 it’s too late….. My poor garden is SO behind this year so it’s not just u this year I’ve been hearing many gardeners saying that this year too!
Do u dry ur lilacs flowers before infusing in oil or is it better to use them fresh?
Also u mentioned in one of ur previous videos that lilac leaves are even more medicinal than the flowers themselves so have u infused the lilac leaves for a stronger infusion or are the leaves not as beneficial for skin as the flowers would be? Do u think the leaves & flowers have the same medicinal benefits or are they different uses & benefits between the 2?
I’m also trying to make a facial toner & all my research on wether using fresh or dry lilacs have just left me confused cuz some say better to use fresh than dry & visa versa…… My heads just spinning from all the contradiction out there. So would u use dry or fresh lilacs to make a toner? Sorry for the so many questions I just really respect & appreciate ur knowledge😊 I have alot of the herbal books u suggest & really can’t find much of anything in there either. I’m also making a honey & maple infusion & just want to make sure I’m doing that right. Would u use dry or fresh flowers for that method & why? God bless u & ur family🙏🏼
I have yet to infused lilac leaves or flowers since my shrub is still quite young. Depending on how many flowers I get, I might do some this year, we will see. As far as a toner, I would personally just make a tea out of it and use that but of course, you would want to make small amounts and keep in the fridge in that case and yes, you can use fresh if you prefer
@@RainCountryHomestead I'm going to try to make Lilac Jelly this year! Ours are just coming out.
There’s not much rhyme or reason toward what goes in my salves or in the tea I’m going to drink for the evening! Whatever feels good that day is what I go with but I am also not selling any of my dried product that I have collected dried and stored🙂🌱🌸🙏 God bless
I don't see violets on your video list.I didn't look through the collaboration one, so perhaps it's there. I dried a quart jar of violet flowers this year thinking they could be used for something. Even a tea. There is just so much jam a family can eat, and that is what I usually do with violets.
I probably just forgot to put them in the list, I do make mistakes like that, but yes, they are great for skin care
So, I just checked and yes, I DID include them in the list in the description box, maybe you did not look there?
@@RainCountryHomestead Ugh! So sorry. This was the first video I watched this morning even before my coffee. I shouldn't have jumped the gun.
Violets (dried leaves and flowers) make a very effective breast massage oil. Violet leaf helps to dissolve water cysts.
It has helped me immensely.
I use a pint jar and fill it with the dried leaves and flowers which have been dried in a paper bag for a few days. I use organic avacado oil because it reaches deeply into tissue.
For heat you can put it on top of a seed heating mat or put the jar inside an opaque sock and set in a window. Just don't let it get hot and shake gently every so often.
Steep 6 weeks, strain through a muslin cloth-lined strainer and store in a sterilized jar.
@@teresa9613 no worries, happens to me too!
I use fresh leaves for my infutions,
should I need to use a preservative after the leaves are removed.
Thank you for taking time
The problem with fresh is you can end up with moisture from the fresh herbs in the oil and this can breed botulism. Though I would suspect it is rare, I prefer to use dry. The other thing is you can pack more dried herbs into the jar than fresh thus making a stronger infusion
I'm about to infuse some of these to make salves and creams, was wondering what about Arnica? And can some be Essential Oil added when near done instead of dry infusions with oil? Hard for me to get lavender but have EO of it...Thanks Heidi 😊
Yes and yes. I use arnica in my infused oil for muscle and joint rub and I add infused oil in the end process when making the final product whether it still be in oil form, salve, or cream
@@RainCountryHomestead great,that was what I thought was really good for the pain one...I'm trying to make up several types,pain rub ,aches and bruises salves, and medicated first aid wound salves...and just needed to clarify so great, thank you SO much Heidi🥰
@@Damselfly54315 Here is my most recent infused oil blend for muscle and joint rub: czcams.com/video/oDZCAXxH4U8/video.html
Can you give a list of the best herbs to grow for medicinal use I’m in SE Arkansas, I’m lost on which ones work best
I cannot tell you what will grow best in your area but I do have a video on a list of my personal favorites that most can grow which also includes a link to the written list though I recommend you at least listen to the video to know why I grow the ones I grow: czcams.com/video/mWp3mE-TENM/video.html
Good morning! Is there anything i can do with lilacs? My bushes are covered!
Yes, lilacs can be used in this very infusion, they are excellent for skin. I have a lilac video coming out soon but I did cover a couple ideas in this video here (Note: It is a This~N~That which means I talk about several topics, I think I talk about the lilacs in the latter half but do not recall for sue): czcams.com/video/dQ7pPCI6BN8/video.html
Have you used neem oil, powder or leaves? What would you use as a carrier oil?
I use those more as a pesticide only in the form of the oil or powder
With the yarrow, do you use leaves or flowers?
both
Hi! Are plantain and psyllium husk the same thing? I've seen whichever one it is growing in my yard but I'm not sure which?
Yes, at least in the fact that psyllium husk comes from the plantain plant, it is not the leaves though
@@RainCountryHomestead oh awesome! Thank you so much for the info!
I want to infuse chamomile and lavender in a quart jar. Can you recommend the ratio of lavender and chamomile?
That really has to be up to you. I typically use equal parts of whatever herbs I am blending
Hi Heidi . Very knowledgeable video. Can I order the cream. I'm in uk. Thanks
Yes, just message me on my etsy store so I can give you the shipping quote and then set up a custom order
@@RainCountryHomestead hi Heidi. I did emailed you my details
im sorry if i missed it but where do you guy your herbs from?
That is because all the herbs I use in this are home grown but here is a video where I talk about where I buy herbs I do not already grow: czcams.com/video/KqmUYFI0cdc/video.html
Are those quart size jars you're working with??
yes
Heidi, I have a question. I made three or four olive oil and grape seed oil infusions but used fresh herbs....I was just reading that fresh herbs tend to turn rancid or can cause botulism. I've had them sitting in a shelf out of the sun for two weeks now, however we have high temperatures the past week almost 90 degrees and we have no air conditioning....should I be worried about my infusions? I'd hate to have to throw them away however I also don't want to make my family sick. Thank you for any guidance you can provide.
This is why I ONLY use dried herbs for oil infusions and never use olive oil as it is one most likely to go rancid. As far as rancidity goes, you will know by the smell but as far as botulism, well, it is rare but there is no way to know if it is in there as you cannot see, taste, or smell it. Though it may not hurt for topical use only but I certainly would not consume any or use on open wounds
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you. I will use these only topically then, but not on open wounds..they don't smell bad but as you mentioned not sure if botulism is there or not.
Can you do a mix of different oils to infuse?
Yes, you can
Have you ever had anyone talk about using a Levo oil infuser machine? Using a low temperature.
Low and slow.
Some people do. I am just not at all interested in yet another device when the old fashioned way suits me fine
Do you add honey it has healing properties. My skin is very dry due to the meds I have to take. I love Rose scent in my Goat Milk Soap, but would like to try the Rose Oil. Shea is my allergy.
While yes, it does have healing properties and I have used it on occasion for wounds, I do not add it to my skin cream.
Try adding sea moss gel great for healing and skin
@@hopepeace9008 Told to use that horrid Crisco. I got castor oil.
Is there a variety of roses you suggest growing for skin care benefits?
Rosa Rugosa is best but any will have benefits
Thank you🙏
Can you tell me where you purchased your avocado oil? I’ve been having problems finding it?
I get mine from Costco online but you can also purchase in the store
@@RainCountryHomestead I have found it in little bottles, but would like I have big one like your; thanks so much 😘.
can you use raisins to make a salve for a vegan solution, as I am looking for locally available ingredients
I am confused on the question. Why would raisins be a better and more vegan option than what I used here?
@@RainCountryHomestead mango butter , Shea or cocoa butters are not manufactured in Srilanka, but I can get gum raisins over here
thank you
during the drying process, does it harm the nutrients ?
Can this infused oil be used on children ages 3 years and above?
Yes
Curious how long does it take to setup, film, and edit a video. Seems like an awful lot of work.
I go over all that is involved in video creating in this video: czcams.com/video/x5_2W6ca48g/video.html
Heidi, can I use fresh herbs for infusions?
For oil infusions only dried herbs should be used, for tinctures and extracts, fresh or dried can be used
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you so much. What a blessing you are
Can i make infused plantain oil and use it every day, even on kids?
Yes, unless they have an allergy to it
@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you!
I have a question for you I hear so many stories about sunflower 🌻 oil that it’s not good for the body but sunflower 🌻 seeds are eaten for vitamin E please answer my question please or someone else on you tube????😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think it is certain brands and how it is produced or what it is blended with. Be sure to read ingredients
@@RainCountryHomestead I asked because I was using sunflower oil on my face and hair and it was just the oil I would buy from the health food store I used it for a year but then I got sick 😷 I thought it was from the oil but I was under soooo much stress I wound up in the hospital and on seizure medication 😭and now trying to get back off the medication and keep calm the best I can ☮️❤️☮️❤️
Too bad Canadians can’t order seeds 😢
If you mean from me, yes you can. As I have noted on the store front and in a few videos, all you have to do is message me on my etsy store letting me know what you are wanting to order. I then give you a proper shipping quote and can set up a personal custom order just for you. We have shipped very many items to Canada and all over the world
@@RainCountryHomestead I will be contacting you
Always been curious why Americans say Erb I stead of the proper pronunciation Herb, do you call Herbert - Erbert?. Sorry it hurts my👂
No, we pronounce the H in Herbert. To us the word Herb is a person's name. Erb is how we are taught to pronounce the word when in regards to plants. It is simply a difference in culture. Because I get ridiculed and even cussed at for pronouncing the word the way that is proper for us, I even did a video on it: czcams.com/video/Uz0Y5fiJm7U/video.html
However, one thing I have learned since shooting that video is that we take our pronunciation from the original word that comes from the French Herbe where the H is silent. So one could say we are the only ones that actually say it right. However, that would not be fair since many words differ in pronunciation based on location and in the US we say certain other words the "American" way like Oregano and many more.
Love your content !
Question:
I see you added comfrey & I learned that you shouldn’t use comfrey for more than 10 days @ a time or no more than 5 weeks a year. What are your thoughts/advice about this ?
Thank you & yes, God is good ! 🫶🏾
There is a lot of fear mongering going around about comfrey, now I personally do not use it daily but am not afraid to either. I know several who drink a comfrey tea every single day and I am even less concerned about something I use topically. Where people need to be most careful with is using the root, not the leaves, and this is the part that is often not pointed out but the root is also very helpful for many things
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you so much for clarifying this. I appreciate you taking the time to answer 🫶🏾
