Enhancing Herbal Salves with Tinctures
Manage episode 287288248 series 1863886
In this episode we share a simple technique for enhancing herbal salves with tinctures. Lots of herbalists like to put essential oils in their salves, and we’re no exception – but we also want to have other methods for increasing potency. Essential oils can be costly, and they have sustainability issues in a lot of cases.
Combining alcohol extracts (herbal tinctures) with oil extracts is a great way to maximize constituent availability in your finished product. We have two methods for you today. One method involves combining pre-made salves & tinctures to bring their powers together. The other method is a two-step extraction process to make sure you get the full range of constituents from a given herb. Both are easy and can be done right at home!
You’ll find a mini crockpot super helpful for this work. They’re handy and not too expensive.
Herbs discussed include: cayenne, solomon’s seal, kava, st john’s wort.
Not feeling confident about your basic herbal salve-making abilities, let alone powered-up salves like these? Our Herbal Medicine-Making course has dozens of methods for you to explore! Learn to make teas, tinctures, poultices, salves, liniments, spice blends, and much more. This self-paced online video course includes access to twice-weekly live Q&A sessions so you can connect with us directly!
