In today's video I walk you through my home apothecary and share how I create a variety of herbal tinctures, extracts, and infused oils that I use for my family's health and skincare. I start by discussing the importance of knowing your body and doing thorough research before using natural remedies, especially if you're on medication. Then, I dive into making rose-infused oil using dried petals, explain its benefits for skincare, and touch on the shelf life of different oils and tinctures. We also cover elderberry tincture, a go-to for immune support, and how it compares to syrups. I share a unique recipe for Indian Pipe tincture, which is excellent for stress relief, and talk about oregano and horsetail extracts for skin and wound care. If you’re looking to supplement your wellness routine with natural remedies or curious about creating your own, this video will give you a closer look at how I approach herbal preparations and use them daily.
☮️ It's really important to know your body and understand any medications you're currently taking before trying natural remedies, as some herbs can interact with them. I'm sharing what works for me and my family, but I'm not a doctor, so please do your own research and consult with a professional if needed. It's crucial to be informed and make the best decisions for your own health.
