Hi there, thank you so much for watching! Although, the nutrients found in fresh ginger do undergo some changes when dried and/or powdered, both varieities of ginger still offer medicinal benefits. When fresh ginger is converted to dried ginger, the amount of "gingerol" (the primary compound found in ginger) does slightly decrease. However, the drying method increases levels of other compounds, such as "shogaols" (ginger's main phenolic compound). During the drying phase, a percentage of gingerol is converted into shogaols, which contain potent medicinal properties that fresh ginger only carries trace amounts of. Overall, both fresh ginger and dried ginger offer medicinal value, and it's best to consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner to determine whether fresh or dried ginger is appropriate for your body's unique needs. Thank you for the opportunity to explain this further, cheers!

Hi there! Gently tapping the tins flatly on the countertop once the salve mixture has been added can help release any trapped air bubbles. You can also slightly remelt the top the salve using a hair dryer once it has fully cooled to smooth out any impurities. We hope this helps!

@ Yes .. thanks for the help

We're so glad you found this video interesting! Marshmallow is a fascinating herb with a rich history.

Yes, the alcohol intermediary method works effectively at breaking down alcohol-soluble properties such as resins!

We're so glad this video was helpful for you! Thanks for watching 🥰🌿

We're so glad to hear that you found this method helpful for your pharmacy technology program! Thanks for watching 🥰🌿

Hi there! Yes, it is always a good idea to thoroughly wash and dry any herb that is gathered from the outdoors.

Thank you so much! 🌙

Yes! That or a natural mica powder would be magical! 🌙

Yes, you can omit the butterfly pea flowers if you don't care about the blue color and skin-loving properties of that plant. The essential oils will still make them smell wonderful and help support a restful sleep.

We have not experienced a staining issue with this recipe, but it's always good idea to do a test in an inconspicuous place if the tub you are using is prone to staining. Hope that helps!

Hi there! No, sunflower oil and purified water would not work to make a goldenseal tincture. Combining plant material, oil, and water together will create a breeding ground for bacteria and mold, which is definitely not something you want in terms of medicinal tincture making or otherwise. To make a goldenseal extraction, we'd recommend using the glycerite method featured in this video or the alcohol extraction method.

@@mountainroseherbs I appreciate your response, then is it possible to utilize vinegar versus alcohol which seems to be the usual or if utilizing glycerin is there a better split that does not result in too sweet?

I have to say again, how greatful for your letting me know of the bacteria breeding effect with oil...grrr that would have been quite a negative experience.

Yes, you absolutley could make a goldenseal vinegar extract! We have a handy blog on this topic that will be a great reference for you: blog.mountainroseherbs.com/how-to-make-herbal-vinegar The sweetness of glycerites can be slightly diluted with water if you're using dried herbs or low-moisture fresh herbs. However, you must be careful to not over-dilute the glycerite for the same mold and bacterial growth concerns as we mentioned above. If you're not keen on the sweet taste of glycerin, this method would likely not be the best option for you, and we would recommend opting for a vinegar extraction or alcohol extraction. We hope this information is helpful to you, have a lovely day! ~Indi 🌿

We couldn't agree more!

Hi there! You're welcome to omit the honey if you'd prefer to only incorporate the natural sugars from the fruit juice in the gummies. Since ACV has a relativley strong flavor profile that many folks are not keen on, we included a touch of honey in this recipe to help disguise the ACV flavor. If you don't mind that taste, the honey can be considered optional. We hope this helps!

Hi there! This shaving cream recipe is substitute-friendly, so you can really use any carrier oil you have on hand. Sunflower oil, olive oil, or avocado oil would all be great replacements for the kukui nut oil. We hope this helps, happy shaving! 🪒🫧

@ amazing, thank you!:)

I'm sorry, I see in another comment you said to use 1/2 fresh elderberry in the recipe. Would you stem juice them & use 1/2 as well?

Hi there! If using fresh elderberries in this recipe, you'll want to add double the amount of fresh berries for the called for dried berries. In this case, that would be 4 cups of fresh elderberries. There is not a step in this recipe that involves juicing the elderberries, so you will not need to worry about this. We hope this helps, please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions. Cheers!
