    I filter wax by heating wax in water and pouring the water through a T-shirt which is strapped to a bucket.
    Hand Bald for split finger tips... 1/3 Bees wax 1/3 Coconut Oil 1/3 Shea Butter,,, I sneak in some Tea Tree Oil for antibacterial properties... its very firm and helps deal with splits in dry skin on finger tips and doesn't wipe off when you put your hands in your pocket.
    The bees wax offers a coating that locks in the moisturizers.

    Thank you for sharing this video. I really like your natural healing methods. The tea that you made in the last video using the pineapple peel and some other fresh herbs and spices, my mother and Grandma used to do something like that every winter"make" us kids drink it whenever we get sick. And my father would have us drink ginger tea ( hot Lipton tea with a quarter teaspoon of powdered ginger in it and we had to drink it before it cooled off and we were just kids) whenever we would get a fever and then he would tuck Us in bed and our fever would break after drinking the ginger tea. And you know what when I feel a cold coming on I will mix up myself a batch of Mom's fruit tea and stick it in the back of the refrigerator and drink it all winter long.
    I have a condition now called castleman's disease which has to deal with my lymph nodes and my immune system. I wish I could talk to you directly . I need an apothecary to help me boost my immune system. There is no cure for Castleman's disease. I have idiopathic multicentric castleman's disease it affects all the lymph nodes in my body. It's almost like a cancer. I am constantly in pain. I have chosen a vegan diet. Because when I eat meat protein my lymph nodes get inflamed and swell and the pain is excruciating. I cannot eat processed foods the food preservatives, chemicals and dyes in the food they hurt me as well. I hope that you read this I really need your help. My kids gave me the nickname for little red hen from the nursery book story of The Little Red Hen that had to do everything by herself because nobody would help her. Truth is I was a single parent for a very long time and my children looked up to me they said I was their hero.

      Hi Mary. I just saw this video July 2023. I can't believe I now know some else who has cattlemen disease. My son was diagnosed with it at 15 years old. He too has multicentric. He had to surgeries to remove and teat lymph nodes. At 28 it turned on cancer on him and caused his body to go crazy. He developed Bechets disease during this time. He was on strong steroids and taking cancer treatments. His blood counts were horrible. They didn't expect him to live. I started treating him with hers and doses of Apple Cider Vinegwith the mother in it. Doctors at Emory ans his cancer doctor couldn't believe his blood work. It was the best it had ever been. They asked him wh he was doing and he told them how I had been treating him. They were shocked. Said he was a walking miracle. He is now 37 years old and in excellent health. He does eat a clean diet like you. Please try the herbs and vinegar. It works. Hope this finds you well.

    We use salve daily
    I also have lavender coconut oil (general moisturizer) and tea tree coconut oil (athletes foot, warts)-both from EOs
    The salves are so nice to put on just anything
    I use a comfrey calendula St John’s wort one and a myrrh goldenseal one that I find for good prices. Otherwise I would have to make those too. I was in excruciating pain for hours (days rly that it badly hurt me) from burning myself when remelting a salve. I try to stay away from heating oils now 💥

    I learned that a small portion of people over time will develop an allergy to the propolis in raw beeswax. I discovered this after my lips starting tingling, itching, and swelling up after using homemade chapstick for a while.

    • @buggsy5
      @buggsy5 10 месяцев назад

      It is possible to develop a sensitivity to just about anything. There should be very little propolis in beeswax, since it should remain solid and settle out when you render the wax.
      Propolis is primarily a mixture of various tree saps - so probably has an elevated risk of causing an allergic reaction.

      If the herb isn't working for you, change to another. Our bodies are all different and plants can work differently in our bodies. I work with essential oils. Sometimes an oil that works for others for a certain issue may not work with my issue. So, I try another oil which is supposed to have similar properties.
      Our bodies and plants... it's all about chemistry. Kinda like how some people like cilantro and others don't. Some of us like and are drawn to certain scents, others are not. I think Siberian Fir oil smells like stinky feet. Some friends have agreed with me. Another friend loves it. (She obviously smells it differently than I do! Lol)

      Those recipes probably had the herbs/oil at room temperature. Heating the oil makes the infusion go much faster.
      Another thing to keep in mind - water infusions and oil infusions extract different substances.

    I’ve just come across your channel and love your content but after watching several videos I need to tell you the word “especially” doesn’t actually have an x in it. It’s not exspecially please try and pronounce it as especially. Also salve has a “l” in it. So it’s salve not sav. Sorry to be the grammar grinch 😁. Otherwise you’re channel is awesome 👌

      The l in salve is silent
      Like the t in whistle and hustle
