Growing up in southern Oklahoma in the 1940s and 50s with no electricity, no phone, and limited access to town, there were 3 essentials to grow. White willow for aspirin for aches and pains, aloe for burns and rashes, and mint for breath and digestive issues and no need for prep just use natural.
Isn't white willow a tree? And how would you use that naturally
Thank you for sharing
@@jessicacanfield5408
The inside of the bark is aspirin.
@@guitarsbybart7894 oh yes now i remember hearing about that. But do you make a tea?
@@jessicacanfield5408 When I was out in the field, I would peel the bark and just scrape the inside with me teeth. Then drink plenty of water. Sometimes I would scrape it into my canteen. I never heated it.
jealous of your herbal cabinet, so pretty and functional
I'm glad you mentioned that there are times when you need to seek a medical professional too. I think its great to be balanced etc
I hope we’ll make so many herbal salve, and home remedies that we get all healthy and put big pharma out of business.❤❤❤❤❤
Loved the new editing techniques of the video! 🥰 😉
Thanks again Carolyn for the wonderful content!
Great demonstration, thanks!
Wonderful recipe - thank you!🙏🏼. Why not simply place the measuring cup (with the pouring spout) right into the pot so you can avoid the bowl and losing less formula? Easier clean up too. Thanks again & blessings.
That was so easy!! I need to set aside time to take that free class!
thank you for sharing this free of charge, your contribution to the community with all you share is priceless.... you the real MVP !
Thank you so much for sharing love all your videos
Thank you so much! Enjoyed every minute of it, as always 🙏
Such an Excellent resource!!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!
Thank you. I'm a silent follower but this is awesome. Super easy compared to other videos.
This is great. Thanks for sharing. I love it when I can make it myself and it is safe.
Thank you for the wonderful video
You are a blessing! Many blessings to you and your family! God bless!
Amazing thank you so much for sharing this with us
Cool! Thanks!
Very interesting, thank you so much. I am going to attempt this but first I will watch the previous video💜❤️
This is awesome! Arnica lotions are super expensive to buy at the store! I will make this for sure!!! Thank you, Carolyn!!!
Love the video. I need to make some of that.
Thank you so very much
Thank you. I already infused my oil in this summer and need to make some salve now. God bless.
I like to add a few drops of light patchouli oil. It brings a nice earthiness.
Well done, Carolyn! I really appreciate the clear explanation and directions. ~Michele
Thank you
I’m enjoying your videos
LOVE OLD FASHIN REMEDIES. ❤❤❤THANK YOU FOR THE RECIPE.LOVE AND BLESSINGS❤❤❤❤
Groovy music segment! This could be a regular tv show or Netflix series x
I like the idea of an arnica/comphrey salve.
They're crazy easy, have been using for years. Please remember that arnica works as a blood thinner to improve flow, which is how it reduces bruising. As a result, you shouldn't use it on fresh (still forming) bruises. It can worsen it. Don't use it if you take blood thinners already because it can increase the effect. Don't use it extensively if you're pregnant. Make sure it's on your list of medications if you go to the hospital. They need to account for it when prescribing.
@@mistybenefield5796 I’m glad I read the comments!! I have thrombocytopenia and sure don’t want to be using something that thins the blood! Do you know what else could be used for sore achy muscles then besides arnica? Thank you!
Love the new intro. I've been eagerly waiting new videos. 😊 your Montana neibours lol 😜
This is a great sample of how to make a great video. Why? She explains every detail and how much measurement we need to do the salve. Excellent ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for all of your knowledge you share! I took your cold/flu herbal medicine course and have REALLY seen the benefits! Looking forward to more courses in the future! 💜
I took that course too, amazing. I now have flu but so much milder than it would have been. I am guessing that is down to the elderberry syrup.
I'm making this today. My youngest is learning to snowboard in alaska and is covered in bruises. 🤣 Great video. Thank you.
Thank you for your videos. I've used a lot of your recipes and techniques and find them very good and helpful.. I used to have the same problem with wax solidifying on the measuring cup as I was pouring. I found heating the oils and wax in the measuring cup on a cookie sheet in a 170F oven solved the problem as the cup is warm as well even after allowing to cool a little for the cool down ingredients.
I can't overstate how much I love making my own salves! Like you I love knowing what I'm using. Another salve version you might be interested in uses beef tallow instead of bee's wax. It isn't shelf stable for long at all, but is well worth the trouble for the recipes I use it for. I make small batches, I keep a tablespoon of so out so it's soft and the rest needs to be kept in the fridge at least or the freezer would be even better. The advantage of this salve is the tallow is much more like our own fat and absorbs into the skin much better, taking the medicine in with it.. Bee's wax coats and protects holding the medicine ingredients on. As a rough heel or cracked hand softener, it is unequaled by anything I have used in nearly 70 years. It is simply made. Melt the tallow and add in the oils of your choice, be they infused or essential oils. If it cools off too hard, warm it up and add in a bit of grape seed oil to soften it up; grape seed oil is absorbed quickly, too.
Would lard work as well because I have a LOT of that! Or what about coconut oil?
@@peggypastime1278 Yes, lard would work bit it will be greasier feeling. It would never set up and get as hard. You'd still need to keep most of it in the fridge
@@lindachandler2293 Thank you!
Thanks for your video. How do you avoid grainy texture
Thanks for the video, it was very informative and easy to follow. I live in Scotland and the arnica plant doesn't grow here, I was wondering if you knew where I could buy organic arnica seeds?
Could you share where you source some of your ingredients, especially bees wax and arnica? Thank you!
Do you have anything for the shingles. I have now! Trying to treat naturally!Thanks! May the Lord bless and protect you and your family this year
I have had shingles 3 times and get rid of them in a few days with oil of oregano capsules, you can buy in the health food section of many stores. Take with food so you don't upset your stomach. I took one 3 times a day till I saw improvement then 2 a day till gone, also lots of vitamin C. That's what helps me but some people are more or less sensitive to things so if you tend to react to stuff you might start with only twice a day? (I'm not a doctor so... That's just what works for me.)
@@sararussell6182 Thanks so much! May the Lord bless and protect you and your family
Caroline - can you please specify the type of oil you prefer for salve making?
Do you have a video on what to use for eczema or hand eczema?
Thank you for this video. Can I use arinca powder? I have only come across the dried flowers so I'm thinking since the powder is the ground up flower it could work. I know there would have to be a straining process because oil won't dissolve the powder. Or is the only way to make the oil is with fresh flowers.
What is the best way to clean up bowls and whatnot that has oils on it?
Question pls. Could you exchange the beewax for somethings else like coconut oil? Thank you very much :)
Thank you! I do not have vitamin E oil are there any substitutes like castor oil?
Do you make your own essential oils?
Is there any other oil to use instead the vitamin E?
Hello can this be used for plantar fasciitis pain and inflammation ?
I found a recipe for a salve for my pain it’s almond oil,raspberry oil,avocado oil,st johns wort,arnicaflower,whitewillow bark,honeysuckle,orange peel,rosebuds would you add vitamin e to this also for preserving? What else would help with pain?
I have a question. My dad had a clear, unscented oil that totally healed burns in minutes and no scarring. He got it from a friend back east over 40 years ago. I would really like to know how to make this oil, if you have any idea how to make it.
What label maker do you use
Can you use arnica powder instead of oil? And if so what would the measurement be+
Can I add peppermint leaves with the arnica when infusing the oil, instead of using peppermint essential oil at the end?
I have a question.... I made a goldenrod tea.. it was delicious, but I experienced a sort of body buzz that lasted about 8 minutes after drinking, is this normal ever for a first timer? I would love to try it again but am a little afraid... Maybe I made it to strong?
Where would you find the oil?
Can you add white willow essential oil in your salve?
Do you have a salve that would help heal a trach removal scar. I would prefer to be as natural as possible and maybe you know of a way if so can you please let me know
I love a natural cream made by Kreepi Tiki Ethnobotanicals. It is a natural pain cream that contains, Hemp oil, arnica, CBD, delta. 8 , matcha, and essential oils. I love it because it's already made, and a really good price point. I use it for muscle pain, and bruises.
I've made a couple batches of muscle balm and half of the batch is still liquid in the center days later. Do you have any idea what might cause this? Thank you for any insight!
Do you have seperate pots and containers to make your remedies?
Thank for this video. Unfortunately, when I enter my email address I get the '401 page not found' thing. Any way to solve this issue? I've noticed in the comments that others are experiencing the same problem. God bless!
I far prefer calendula to arnica. Arnica is great for strains when you keep using the nuscle. Calendula is a marvelous mild topical pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxer and anti-infective. Rosemary can often be used as well. Calendula ointments and salves in my experience is great for arthritic aches and pains, as well as muscle tightness and guarding. It is also great for neck muscle tension. Ginger is even better for that.
One caution. If you use calendula on a sunburn that has begun to peel, just like cortizone, it can stop the peel and heal the skin in mid peel. As a result, for the next six weeks or so the skin will be gnarly - until the outermost layer sloughs off.
Calendula is safe enough that it is commonly used for diaper rash.
Can you please explain to me the difference in milk from the time it comes from the cow until it’s all separated out...like whole milk has cream right? Then the cream comes off and that’s skim....is the liquid that comes from the butter making process called buttermilk? If so why doesn’t it taste like buttermilk from the store?
Just thinking putting salves in a deodorant style container. Then i dont have to touch it. Just rub it on. :)
Does anyone have the video of where Carolyn talks about the diaper rash cream she makes
We talk about herbs here: homesteadingfamily.com/15-medicinal-herbs-to-grow/ Calendula is used as an anti-fungal for diaper rash.
I have taken your herbal class for colds? Is this a different class?
When are you getting it own show?!
You def need ur own tv show! Do you sell any of ur produce or anything?
❤ hi. I found you by chance if we believed that 😂 what are we able to do if a person has MS ? Thanks ❤
Do you keep a bowl, spoon, etc for *only* making salve/lotions?? If not, what are your tips to get them very clean?
I buy the wood popsicles sticks from dollar tree and use that to stir and toss after
Is it safe for babies?
i had a bruise on my arm and i used essential oils for the first time, i was amazed, shocked it went away slowly. i used lavender oil, and almond oil for skin, and nonscented moisturizing lotion. wow..lol excellent results . thank you 😊
👍
I had an issue signing up too. Put my email in and hit go but it redirected to a "missing" page.
It did that to me also. I thought they stopped having that page
I signed up and it says page is missing
Hello Carolyn, how long are the shelf stable. I know you mentioned adding the vitamin e oil to keep it mold free.
Not Carolyn, but shelf stability depends on the oil you use and how it's stored. Oils can go rancid (you'll know if they smell like old crayons). The oil she uses in the wildcrafting arnica oil video is olive oil. It can last up to a couple of years without vitamin E, probably another year with the vitamin E.. To be honest, you can still use it after that. It's not harmful. The smell is just off because air oxidizes the oil. You just wouldn't want to ingest rancid oil. Ick. The only way for mold to grow is if moisture is introduced. As long as that doesn't happen, no mold. The vitamin E slows rancidity, doesn't impact mold or bacteria growth.
@@mistybenefield5796 really helpful, thank you.
@@mistybenefield5796 thank you - I missed her specification that it olive oil.
Please remelt what is left in the measuring cup!
I went and watched your video on how to make the oil. My husband doesn't like olive oil, he hates the smell, taste everything about it. Can I use any other kind of oil? We usually use peanut oil when cooking would that work?
I have seen a lot of herbal recipes recommending either avocado oil or grapeseed oil .
Anything for chipped bones
More on that here: homesteadingfamily.com/bone-healing-comfrey-compress/
what was measurment for arnica infused oil, you did not say?
I heard 3/4 cup
Arnica montana, illegal to pick in my country :-(
Anyone know of a good alternative to arnica oil? I have a lot of other oils on hand and was hoping not to have to buy anything. Thx 😊
Arnica is especially good for bruises. But calendula oil is good for the skin. That's what I use.
@@jansnell5036 thanks!
Don't buy arnica oil. It's sooo expensive! Just buy the dried flowers and infuse your own oil. Takes time, but I only make it once every 2-3 years - a gallon jar of it - and then I'm worry-free long-term. I buy from herbco, far less costly: www.herbco.com/p-1282-arnica-flower-whole.aspx
We make our own. We have a video for that in the links.
Calendula is great. Anti-inflammatory, pain relief, muscle relaxer, anti-infective. Strongly promotes healing.
Do you sell seed or plants for herbs? We are not at an ideal climate for a lot of herbs so I'm having trouble finding any locally, or even mail order.
No we don't
I'm having a difficult time trying to sign up for the series of herbal videos. It won't let me input any of my valid email addresses.
It worked for me, maybe try getting into it again?
@@kcoker9189 Yup! It worked for me just now. Thanks for your message!
Where I can buy the árnica oil?
You can try health food stores, mountain rose herbs online (or other reputable online herbal store) or make your own like she does.. here's her link here at Homesteading Family
ruclips.net/video/S1TNjHIHXkc/видео.html
We make our own.
Can I not use beeswax to make salves. I don't like beeswax.
Really wish you could go onto Rumble so I didn't have to watch on YT.
How much of Arnica oil?
Here is the recipe: homesteadingfamily.com/homemade-arnica-salve-recipe/
@@HomesteadingFamily still no amounts given...just ingredients
Can you just rub the arnica essential oil straight in by itself?
You can. I have. If you use olive oil, it's heavy and doesn't sink into the skin well. If you choose a different oil like grapeseed, safflower, fractionated coconut oil, or even melted shea butter/coconut oil, it'll sink in faster. In fact, if you wanted you could just melt shea or any other similar butter and infuse that with the flowers. Then when it's strained you'd be able to skip the beeswax entirely because you'd already have a thicker product.
I enjoyed the video and agree that it was easy to make.....but, what about clean up? That measuring looked like a nightmare to clean.
Is there a written recipe?
Yes! homesteadingfamily.com/homemade-arnica-salve-recipe/
@@HomesteadingFamily Thanks
No cc on this video because I’m deaf. Recipes?
Vitamin E should never be used as a preservative in order to extend the shelf life as it does not stop microbes/bacteria from growing within the products but it does help with the oils from going rancid! As for preservatives in skin hair body people have a HUGE misconception that preservatives in skin care are not good ....if people just do their research they will find that there are many plant based/derived preservatives that are commonly used in over the counter as well as handcrafted products and whatever supplier you purchase it from always displays the usage rates and they are there for a reason! Not saying anything bad about vitamin E as it's a great additive and anti oxidant but to be used as a preventative? Not at all! Even tho salves are considered an anhydrous product I would still add a preservative just on the possibility that wate/moisturer could be introduced into the product! Better to be safe then sorry!
Just be sure to remind people that peppermint EO shouldn’t be used on young children and babies..
Please keep it away from your pets!
Why?
You cant make bold statements like that and not explain. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Backwoods Baby there’s a chance that your dog can either lick your hand or whatever you applied it to and they can get sick ie things like Ben Gay which has capsaicin in it. Also if you get it in their eyes or nose you can harm them and cause them to vomit or do damage to their sight.
I seriously worry about all of the RUclips channels that give instructional videos about anything health related.
WHY???
Most, like this video do not include disclaimers concerning the fact that they're not health care professionals or tell people to do tests etc.
With the abundance of people looking for a fast buck and willing to sue others I'd be wary of putting out videos like this without a disclaimer or two.
Especially when the maker gives definitive statements like safe for everyone.
It’s a salve, it won’t hurt you. She’s a mom, it’s a home remedy. She didn’t claim to cure cancer. If you’re scared of a salve then don’t make it. Herbs are safer than pharmaceuticals
@@oceanlbi my point is making claims that it's safe for everyone etc is prime fodder for lawsuits if someone even gets a rash.
I work in the legal field, believe me simple things like that win cases.
I NEVER said anything about the safety of home remedies. I use them myself.
Btw there are lots of herbs that are quite dangerous even in minute amounts if someone has sensitivity to them EVEN in topical applications
well people should have the common sense to know they aren't health care professionals, stop finding things to complain about.
@@MNTNSTARZ80. You are correct. Arnica is absolutely something that can cause major problems as it is a natural blood thinner. I love the content on this channel but I do get frustrated when she claims things are totally safe without doing the research to make that claim.
