How to Make Herbal Salve

[renfest]

Can I use the salve on dogs and cats? I use to make one for tem and I can't remember where I got it from.

This is great. We are into herbs but have not made salves.

I have noticed in your videos you allow the water in your double boiler to touch the bottom of the pan on top, that is usually not a good idea since the point of the double boiler is to use the steam from the water in the pan underneath only.

Do you make / sell Essiac Salve ?

[mackat888]

Omg! I have that measuring cup! :D

[missdior212]

could home made salves be used on animals wounds and sores? Specifically horses? And how long could these last before going "bad" and is it ok to store out in the open, or does it have to be refrigerated? Thanks

[nico27004]

[MyMentalistmind]

i noticed the tins you were using and was wondering if you bought them online? i normally use an altoids round tin because its convenient but a smaller tin would be alot easier to carry

@starshock01 Hello! We carry containers of all materials and sizes. You can find more information on our website. Many thanks! Erin

[LoLiTaViSoN]

about how much time would you say it takes for the salves to solidify in the containers before they can be used?

[Belle4Bella]

Don't know if this question has been asked- but my concern is once the salves or even lotions, soaps, etc... are done would they need to be stored in room temperature environments or refrigerated... for sanitary reasons- also if room temp is ok how long is it good for?

[wiccanspirit12]

i like this video :) very nice

[wakeup2nwo]

Great info as usual! Could you use calendula and comfrey together in the salve if you made both oils from olive oil? Thanks :)

[annabanana1212]

that intro music is so...relaxing XD

[Nuru305]

Can shea butter be used instead of bee wax? This is a great video thanks.

[mountainroseherbs]

@Nuru305 Hello, You can definitely experiment with butters for this recipe or waxes like carnuba and candelilla to help produce a firm textured salve. Using butters may produce a lotion. Whatever base you use will change the consistency a bit, but the medicinal properties of the herbal oils will still be helpful. Thanks for the great question! ~Erin

[Nuru305]

@mountainroseherbs Thank you so much for answering.

[comakid4000]

why can't he pronounce herb or salve?

[doona42]

Hi

i really love your clips : ).....can i ask is it about 28grams of beeswax to a cup of oil? the block in your vid looks like more than that when i measured it in the kitchen

thanks

[gealach7788]

I can't wait to do this! I have two more weeks before my comfrey herbal oil is done :)

[jaakizamazin]

Does the salve have to be heated to apply to your skin if you were making a healing cream? It almost looks like a candle and to hard to spread.

[katelynislegend]

@jaakizamazin no, it will be greasy like a lip balm.

[Pandabearkt]

lmao @ 4:43 He went "WEIRD!!" lol...

[bonzaibb12]

Could beetroot powder be added to this to make a natural colored lip gloss ? Thanks for the video I like the label idea its wonderful for gift making.

[peaceandloveinaction]

[Tornerose83]

I love your videos. I wish the shipping to Norway wasnt so expensive though. Time to open a department over here maybe? :P

[aprilbutterfli]
