Medicine-making is my passion and I am excited to share with you this Podcast series on Medicine-Making Part 3: Infused Oils, Salves & Creams with Janean Strong at www.realjanean.com. On this podcast I discuss a few ways we can make an infused oil – cold process and the hot process, utilizing the infused oil for both internal as food or topical as salve or cream. Plus I give some of my favourite recipes on making salves and creams.
This is the last of the Medicine-Making Podcast series which includes Part 1 on Herbal Teas and Part 2 on Tinctures, if you haven’t listened to the previous two, be sure to check out the podcast on my blog. I hope you feel more empowered to make your own herbal products at home after listening to these podcasts!
