My teacher would put it in a brown paper bag and place in a sunny window. The bag protects it from the sunlight, and it's warm.
This popped up in my feed today. Perfect timing!
Thank you, beautiful soul 🙏🏼💕🙏🏼
Hey Heidi 👋 I just recently made a joint & muscle salve using what I had on hand. I used my chickweed infused oil along with cayenne pepper infused oil and added clove, peppermint, rosemary, rose geranium, eucalyptus, lavender and cinnamon bark essential oils. Mine is definitely missing the comfrey so I'll need to place an order for that. Even so, I'm finding some relief using my concoction...more with the muscles then the joints though 🤪
I make a wonderful muscle rub with arnica, magnieusm oil, peppermint in a almond carrier oil. Fabulous!
I'll definitely be trying this out, at some point. I'm such a clutz and constantly hurting myself in some random way. My new favorite way of getting hurt is waking up. LOL
Don’t forget rolling over while sleeping…😂 (Ask me how I know)
@@GoodTimesHomestead 🤣🤣🤣
Try heating sea salt in a stainless steel skillet for about a minute. Put salt in a cotton rag, let it cool for a moment. Then apply the rag topically. I get arm and leg pain & often forget about this simple remedy, but let me assure you it is a night and day difference after I use a heated salt pack.
One can apply a drop or two of an essential oil to the rag if they wish, or add a bit of vinegar to aid in the salt penetration of the skin.
I've used the arnica, calendula and red pepper flakes and it works very well... Thank You Mrs Heidi ❤️❤️🙏 Kendra
Thank you for all your remedies & knowledge. Have you thought about making a book with all your remedy recipes? I would buy it in a heartbeat!!😊❤
Any recipes I have the time to type up go to my Patreon for anyone to obtain for free just like the one for this video. The link is provided in the description box. As far as any future book, it is the most asked question to the point I have addressed it in several videos including this one from last year shot before my second grandson was born and next month I will have a third grandchild: czcams.com/video/xMZJnarDGL8/video.html
@@RainCountryHomestead you are a busy woman and I understand that. How exciting to be welcoming another grandbaby!!💓
Thank you
I use what I've drained in food dishes 🥵 x
Am glad it's sorted out...thanks for your inspiring videos...am delighted to be making my own herbal remedies again!
Thank you for the good information.
I'm also learning about herbs it seems like it's gonna take forever. Lobelia is a sedative, great for a lot of lung issues, and antispasmodic , it is great for helping people to stop smoking addiction. The caution is if you over do it internally you could throw up, use wisely. And I thought it was just a pretty plant. So yes God is good all the time!!!! I could give you more uses but I know you Will do your own research.
I just looked it up and am chuckling at the other names it goes by. 😄
@@darleneschreiber9415 yea I know, it makes it easier to remember.
Lobelia is a “thinking herb” and speeds up the action of other herbs like Mullein Tincture. I’ll have to plant some since it’s pretty! It is an emetic and it will make you throw up. When trying to save someone who is choking on mucus…. It could save someone’s life!…. But have Peppermint Tea ready to calm the stomach down.
Heidi looks like another great muscle joint rub. I can't wait to hear how it works. I use Frankincense, Peppermint, Rosemary so far.
I'm starting to get into herbal remedies because with MS the over the counter remedies are giving me more problems than they solve. Thank you for all the helpful videos.
I can even smell it from here hmmm. Thank you Heidi.
I’ve taken notes and will be trying this. 😊
Thank you so much for making this information accessible ❤
Blessings
Thank you.
Thank you Heidi, this is just what I needed!
This is great !!
Thank you Heidi for all the help you give and I love your videos
Thanks for this video
Thanks Heidi 😊
Thanks 👍
Nice!
Thanks Heidi for sharing the herbs infused oils for the joints great info today.
Good informational video , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thank you angel Heidi for yet another wonderful video...I learn so much from you!...PS: perhaps the herb you mentioned in the last few minutes is lobelia?
yes
God Bless u❤U wonderful lady😊
Perfect .. I just got through my last batch. Time for a new one. Thank you.😊
You son is getting big. I am happy to see you getting better. It took my almost 2 years after my head injury. It is hard because we want to do more but don't. We all love love you sweet Yvonne 💋💖
I am guessing you mean my grandson. The youngest is 8 months and the oldest is 2. They are both growing quickly it would seem but I know the truth is they are growing on time, it just all seems too fast some days! haha
Great video. I plan to make some when my herb garden yields.❤
Hi Heidi, God is good all the time. Hallelujah.❤❤
Perfect timing! My knee is not liking this latest cold snap.
Thankyou so much for this Heidi I am up early here just rubbing my ankle with warm caster oil.God bless
Thank you once again for your wise advice. I think I will add these ingredients to my Goldenrod oil. ❤️
Awesome! I picked up in your rumble vid that you could use herbs in place of essentials so I did just that. Threw in a handful of cloves and dried mint. I have 2 more weeks to go and all the stuff ready to go from the other recipe. Can't wait! Like this supplemental information.
This came out at such a good time- Mike pulled the muscles in his neck. A friend gave me a jar of comfrey salve that I have been using on him. I’m having a hard time finding “specialty” oils, sweet almond, avocado, and others. Our local stores have stopped offering them but carry vegetable, coconut and olive oils. I was told that the other oils are back ordered, but I think they don’t sell as well so they aren’t bothering to order them. As much as I dislike going to Walmart, I may have to break down and see if they still have them. Thanks Heidi! God Bless!
I buy the avocado oil from Costco.com. I know they carry it in the physical store but we hardly ever get in there
@@RainCountryHomestead I’m not sure where a Costco is but if Walmart doesn’t have them, I’ll check online for my best price to have shipped to me.
Misfits has avocado oil...but it's probably not the cheapest.
Thank you for sharing what you do and your knowledge of herbs and how to use them for joint and muscle pain. I have a bad total right knee, of which I could talk to you a lot about. It is very debilitating. In a nutshell, I wish I would have never had the total knee surgery just before I turned 50. I had a second total knee a few years ago, because the first one stopped bending. The doctor put in a "last resort total knee" meaning that it has long rods in it. I did not know he was going to do this. I have trusted doctors and now I cannot go back and get my knee back. I have been to 3 orthopedist that won't even touch it to put in another one. I am going to study and watch your videos and take notes on how to make the muscle and joint infusions. I currently use the menthol pain patches on my knee every day because that is the only way I can get through the pain. Thank you again and God bless you real good!
Excellent! Less expensive is good...plus, I don't do well with strong scents (even natural ones) so avoiding the essential oils is great!
I'm using white pine tincture for my relief
🌺
Hey Heidi! Thank you so much for this. I am healing great. From the inside put😁 The incisionis closing good with the wound vac but the broken ankle could use a good rub!
I crush my whole cloves just a tad when I do an infusion & those hard pieces drain very easily.
I thought I went straight to the kitchen to make this the last time I watched your muscle rub video… I think I got there and all I had was pepper flakes. I just got a hanging mesh dehydrator so I can’t wait to start building my apothecary.
Heidi, I too have a knee bothering me starting 3 weeks . Like you i'd like to do as much on my own before I make a trip to doctor so I am going to follow what your doing Thanks
Thanks for all your great videos. I bet adding castor oil after straining would be beneficial too.
Right and I actually did that very thing with one of the bottles after I strained it
Gonna try adding DMSO right into this mix with the herbs & oil
While you can, I recommend keeping it separate and only add as needed.
I used the 1st two with feverfew and blackseed oil. Or just take a tablespoon of blackseed oil and rub some in.
I think what you called Lobella is actually Lobelia...check it out...never heard of Lobella. Thanks for your videos. I used to do all this years ago and now am appreciating refresher courses!
Yes, I said it incorrectly then without realizing my mistake. I have since learned of my error. It was because I had misread the spelling as what you typed first.
i foraged cottonwood buds last spring and infused them with pepper seeds for the capsaicin. My sister has issues and we are trying to find more natural ways for our issues. She tried the oil, but would rather use it as a salve. This all got put on the "back burner" with thinking we were moving and deciding to renovate, then dealing with a shady contractor that took twice as long to do the work and cut a lot of corners putting my sister and brother in law's safety at risk. We did order some beeswax... I think? it's in a box somewhere in the ocean of boxes strewn about all over the house.
I keep a small squirt bottle of hand sanitizer in my kitchen to clean the writing off the lids. Thanks for this video, I'm going to give this a try.
Rubbing alcohol is the active ingredient in hand sanitizer and it costs less which is one of the two main reasons I use it instead
@@RainCountryHomestead I was gifted literally a gallon of hand sanitizer, so free for me! We also used it at church to clean marker off desks and tables.
Castor Oil is good too
Yes, bu t not alone, it would need to be mixed with a less viscous oil to get a good infusion
I'm really enjoying your videos. Do you happen to have a video on a face/body moisturizer?
Here is my skin cream recipe: czcams.com/video/M9e5J6Vs1V0/video.html
and here is a video on skin care: czcams.com/video/wfBOPlzSujE/video.html
Thank you so much
❤
I use a lot of essential oils so this will help saving money. Will have to order the herbs tho, lol. Looking for a video on lymphedema. Have you recorded one in the past?
No, I have not done one on that, at least not yet
Wow, this is amazing. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. I have a question regarding the tools you're using when making your infused oil. I do understand that you used the Chopstick to help mix everything. My question comes in with the spoon you're using. Is it better to use a wooden or plastic spoon for each individual herb? Been watching your channel since you had 12,000 subscriber students Stacy from Off Grid with Doug and Stacy sent us your way. The Nanas from Central Florida 😊
I use either wood or stainless steel. Always best to avoid plastic as much as possible
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you for taking the time to drop me an answer on your busy days. Have a bountiful day
Hi, Heidi, as I am from the UK thought I would check if one of the alternatives in this recipe is LOBELLA or LOBELIA...thanks, jo
It is lobelia
Are you a born again Christian or catholic praying for you ❤
Can’t believe you all have the rubbing for my sore muscle pains
Born again Christian, not Catholic though
Castor or peanut oil is what was used traditionally by many healers.
Yes, castor oil is great. I do not often use it in a muscle rub but it does get added to my hair oil: czcams.com/video/G6zTFttT8EI/video.html
Here is my video on castor oil: czcams.com/video/ltrz-Y9Qzu4/video.html
@CBD&MeHolisticVlog my personal opinion is that kind of heat can destroy the benefits
Good morning my dear, can you please list the herbs
Hi Heidi, love this recipe! I made some of it into a salve ish by adding about half the amount of butter and wax as I did with your healing salve recipe. Works even better with dmso. I was wondering if you think using the terp n tine and the dmso would be too overpowering or conflict with each other? I haven't tried using terp n tine yet. I just strained the herbs from my 2nd batch of oil that's been infusing for 4 months and was considering this option. Also, thank you again for everything you do here, I credit you for 99% of what I've learned so far! ❤ 😊
I am not sure but am guessing it would be best to do just one or the other rather than both
@@RainCountryHomesteadThank you! I'm going to stick with the dmso for now since it seems to intrigue people, where as the other makes them think of cleaning paint brushes, lol.
Tried the comfrey rub on my ankles and knees. Warm but not hot. Really helps with the arthritis. Might add a bit of red pepper flakes in next batch. I have peppermint and rosemary oil. Will add to current batch. I'm use to being active. This Arthur gotta go! My cousin has sciatica. I thought about making a salva for him. Will the heat from the bees wax destroy the effectiveness? Thank you
Sounds like a great rub. Do you grow the Arnica? Sure is expensive to buy dried organic Arnica. I am looking for a source of Arnica seeds. I think once you have the plants growing, it does 'reseed' freely...like a lot of herbs. Even in zone 5. I use Comfrey root and have found out that when using dried roots that you should leave a lot of head space for expansion. Within a day it had swelled and it was one solid gel ball. :o) That was all the mucilage properties in the root. I learned the hard way and ended up putting the infusion in a two quart jar. Take care and thank you for helping so many people.
I have tried a couple of times to grow it without success but I am trying again this year. I really want to get it to grow for us because it IS very expensive to buy it dried. I think it is the most expensive herb I have purchased.
I just bought some seeds from Richters, fingers crossed!
I just ordered my arnica seeds from Strictly Medicinal Seeds
I need a solution to drying up fluid behind ear drum because drs are wanting to do major surgery and I just do not want that
Thank you Heidi!
I'm happy the know about the rosemary! My bush was getting so big, I cut it back last year. Loads of dried rosemary!☺️
Does castor oil infuse well? 🤔
Love and blessings!💜
I think trying to infuse it alone would not work well because of its higher viscosity but I had considered adding it to the avocado oil. Maybe in a ratio of 1 part castor oil to 3 parts avocado
@@RainCountryHomestead Great minds ... ☺️🤗
Rosemary helps with hair growth makes a nice hair rinse or addition to shampoo using as a hot oil treatment for your hair before you wash it
@@margiemurray2147 Yes I infused it in some of my peach vinegar. I need to do it again. I kept grapping it for salad dressing too.☺️
Thoughts on castor oil for herbal infusion? Great Channel thanks!
I cover that here: czcams.com/users/shortsytDA8C6HpX0
Hi Heidi…just followed your recipe for this wonderful mixture. Have a question…I noticed there are bits of herbs on the lid and mouth of the jar. Will this be a concern for mold to form? I know it’s important to keep things under liquid for ferments and et al. Blessings and thank you so much for imparting your knowledge and wisdom to us
They will be fine. Never had moldy herbs in my oil infusions
Does anyone know of the science regarding how long to leave the herbs infusing? Instructions always say 6-8 weeks. I would love to know if it has actually been tested in a lab.
Hi, Heidi, one of the plants you mentioned on your list was lobella? The nearest I could find was lobelia..was that it? Sorry to sound dumb but as IM hard of hearing the subtitles show some real mind blowing word changes sometimes! And I am from the UK so know plants can be different..any ideas at all?
For the first time ever, I have decided to make use of my cottonwood buds in the early spring. I am infusing them into olive oil (I have it in a cool, dark pantry) which I will leave for about 6 months before I make Balm of Gilead. Do you make this? I would like to learn more before I actually embark on making the balm. My cottonwood buds won't be fully infused into the olive oil until about November. God Bless!
No, I have not made it but my friend is making some as she was able to gather a bunch from her property
Hi Heidi, I have watched the older video for your muscle rub. With this new recipe would you still add the menthol crystals and turpentine after you strain it? I have made several of your recipes for herbal medicines. I am enjoying starting our natural remedy cabinet. Thank you for all the information.
I will decide that once I try it without any other additives. At this point I am not sure yet.
@@RainCountryHomestead Ok great. I will keep looking for the update. I am getting ready to start mine so I should be right behind you. Thanks
Hi Rain
Have you ever use copiabia , clover essential oil and coconut oil for pain? Thank and God bless you!
I do usually add clove essential oil into my blend, hoping to get away from using essential oils in it though or at least minimize the use of them
💚🌞
What oil and where you buy it..I am serious about learning. Thank you for teaching. Jess on Roots and Refuge recommended you to learn from.
I talk very specifically about the oil I use in the video so please make sure to watch and listen to the full thing
I’ve read the comments and haven’t seen this question asked yet….. can you reuse the herbs for a second time with new avocado and caster oil or are the herbs spent. Thank you for all of your wisdom.
While you can, I would not recommend it as most of the benefits of the herbs and spices would have been extracted. This is not to say that there is none left but there would be no way of knowing how much and the next batch could just be a waste of time. Here is a video on ideas for the expended herbs: czcams.com/video/eVUCY8iXfqk/video.html
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you so very much for the quick reply. Have a blessed New Year.
Thx so much for the video! If I don’t have a warm place in my home (I live in a condo and generally we do everything we can to avoid having an overly warm environment). Since I can’t keep my oil that’s in the process of infusing, does it need to sit longer than two months? Thx!
You may want to do that or even consider giving it a jump start by heating your oven up to 200° (lower if you can) then turning it off and putting the oil in the oven
Gonna start a jar today. Question: would you substitute Stinging Nettle 1:1 for the Arnica Flowers? I do not grow Arnica and it is really expensive. Thanks! Take care.
Not sure stinging nettle would have the same affect in that case. Consider either calendula or just leave it out and up the other ingredients
Heidi, what could I use instead of cloves? I have a friend that has a sensitivity to it. Thank you for the information.
Just leave them out or check out this list of more herbs that can be used instead, please see this video: czcams.com/video/MBx9prM2Tso/video.html
If you do have to use essential oils like example peppermint how much would you recommend when preparing the actual salve? Please and thank you
I covered that in the video I linked to in the description box: Joint and Muscle Rub Recipe (with essential oils)
Is there a reason to use Avocado rather than Olive Oil? I heard what you said, but Olive Oil is stable as well in the shade.
Olive oil is not near as stable as avocado. I know a lot of people use it for infusions but if you are storing it in a warm area, it is best to use avocado or other more stable oils.
Can i use daisy flowers instead of arnica flowers? They have same properties right?
I do not believe regular daisies have the same properties as arnica. While they are both in the Asteraceae family, so are many, many other flowers, some of which really have little to no benefits while others have very different benefits. The aster family is the largest flowering family which also includes dandelion, calendula, sunflowers, and a great many more. While calendula can be beneficial in this, arnica is unique in its properties that help heal burses, sprains and more
Can we use pomace olive oil pl? Avocado oil is very expensive in my country.
Use whatever oil you want, just keep in mind of its heat tolerance. I do not use olive oil for my oil infusions as I keep them in a warm area to infuse and olive oil can go rancid far too easily and I have had it happen to me. I believe grape seed oil is another that is pretty heat stable but also not cheap
Can /how would we turn this into a cream rub? I'm thinking bc it's already I'll we could just mix/ melt bees wax??
Yes, I would add beeswax to it if I were going that route or one can use mango or shea butter just keep in mind that these will "thin" out the infusion while making the consistency thicker
What is your experience with the shelf life of the completed oil?
I never worry about the shelf life especially when using a very stable oil like avocado and stored in a cooler place.
Can we use carrier oil ? Like oil which doesn't have smell ?
Avocado oil IS a carrier oil and has little to no smell. You can also use organic grapeseed or almon oil if you prefer
Can you use the black seed oil in this rub?
You can but I would would use it as an add in rather than using the oils straight in this particular blend. So for example, lets say you also want to add castor oil, consider going 2 parts avocado (or other such oil) 1 part castor, 1 part black seed
Any advice about herbs to use for infused muscle rub for FIBROMYALGIA, Heidi? Thanks...
The recommendations would be the same. Anything that can warm the area and increase blood flow. For a list of more herbs, please see this: czcams.com/video/MBx9prM2Tso/video.html
and do not forget to check out the joint and muscle rub recipe in the description box where I show adding essential oils and more.
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you so much for your quick reply xxx
Was wondering where you recommend ordering herbs that you don't grow yourself. The arnica and comfrey especially.
I give some suggestions here: czcams.com/video/KqmUYFI0cdc/video.html
But this was the best price I came across for arnica: amzn.to/3S9vvc5
Thanks, I do grow my own mint and I make golden rod infused oil and salve. I am thankful to you for sharing all your thoughts on herbs. I'm still learning.
Can home made avocado oil from avocado seeds and pulp be used for in fusion
I do not see why not
Thanks for your quick reply
Would it be possible to use jojoba oil?
yes
Hi Heidi could I use castor oil or linseed oil??? I have my batch of dried herbs ready to go???
You can add castor oil but I would not use it alone because of its higher viscosity which could prevent the herbs from infusing well. I recommend mixing it as 1 part castor to 3 parts of a lower viscosity oil such as avocado, grapeseed, or other such
Thanks so much!!!
Where is the best place to learn how to use herbs. And where can you get comfrey? I live in SC and have called local nurseries and can not find it anywhere?
I would have no idea where you can find comfrey in your location, sorry. As far as learning about herbs, in the first part of this video I do talk about herb books: czcams.com/video/kNA5srbQAuQ/video.html
and I also have a video where I teach people how to research things online: czcams.com/video/kNA5srbQAuQ/video.html
I purchased comfrey roots online this past spring. They are thriving and I am so excited to start using them next year. Want to give them a full growing season to establish well.
Would castor oil be a good one to infuse this combo?
Yes, please see this short update on that very thing: czcams.com/users/shortsytDA8C6HpX0
Can jojoba oil be used?
yes
Do you dehydrate your own red pepper flakes?
I was going to ask that too. 😊
No, I purchase organic from Frontier. I do grow hot peppers (Chinese 5 color) but those get reserved only for food
Can you use castor oil to infuse?
You can and I plan to next time HOWEVER, because of its higher viscosity, I still recommend adding at least one part of a less viscous oil such as avocado to 3 parts castor oil.
Soreness caused by inflammation- frankincense?
Yes, frankincense is a great option and I mention it as one of the oils to add in the recipe I linked to in the description box. With so many other great herbs and oils to use though, I refrain from it because of how expensive it is. It gets reserved for my skin cream and few other things
