Made some similar last year and it has helped my ivy rash tremendously this past couple weeks!

I adore your videos soooo much, i would recommend letting the oil infuse in a dark place though, sun light, and most other lights, degrade the medicinal values of plant material after they have been taken from the plant. But again, i love your videos much, happy soaping ❤❤❤

I’m infusing pineapple weed same way right now. It’s great for insect repellent and has a sweet pineapple scent and citrus scent. I keep mine out of the sun. I’ll be soaping with it.

I find it easier to use a muddled and mash the greens or plant material being used to infused. Muddler is used in cocktails, to mash fruits, veg etc.
I’ve tried this with dock leaves, Great in a backpack on a hike.

Nice! I see your infused jewel weed oil is very light in color compared to other tutorials I have seen that shows a very dark infused oil, but those videos where with a quick warm infusion. Wondering if infusing the quick way makes it darker? But I prefer to be patient and cold induse it like you do. Found some Jewelweed today for the first time and harvested some. Letting it wilt overnight and will chop it and infuse it in oil tomorrow till fall. I have some infused oils that have been infusing for over a year... too many things to do with too little time, but so good to have on hand. Thanks for your videos. Love to learn new things. Blessings :)

Jewelweed is also good for stinging nettle stings. They seem to grow side by side so it's convenient to take some off and rub it on the sting.

I'll be waiting for the jewel weed soap video. Thanks for sharing

Gosh i never knew what that was it's all over across where I live there is a stream of water that comes off the mountain in a few places and I didn't know they were of any value, just looked like a water weed, glad I got a recommendation, cause it's been a while since i've seen any of your vids.

I have a question, I have a huge butterfly bush in my garden and the scent is amazing. Can I take the flowers from that and infuse them too?

[mapex]

can you use mineral oil? olive oil is expensive nowadays!

[amywatkins]

I’m going to have to hunt in my area for some jewel weed. What scale are you using? I love the slimness of it.

[abagailrhea]

Could you put the jewelweed in the food processor then steep and filter to get a stronger final product?

[patlantinga]

I would like to see your video on jewelweed soap. Where do I find it. Thank you. You are such a big help to me. Thank you.

[Wondering_Ghoul]

Can you suggest a vegan option for the beeswax?

[susanhalka]

Could you finely grate the jewel weed and then infuse? Pour cheese cloth and let it drip?

[bobbihillman]

I didn't see the jewelweed soap video either, but would love to know how to find it. :)

[kellygould]

What is the exact weight that you used for this salve?

[oless]

I'm a little confused on the ingredients here. I see that you added beez wax, but don't see it listed or the amount to add. Also in your ingredient list you include activated charcoal, which I don't see you use in the video. Did I miss something?

[TravisDodge]

Is it supposed to smell a little like poop when it’s infused? I may have left mine for too long? Probably was 3 weeks to a month
