Is it recommended that the Alcohol Intermediary Method be used for resins/gums such as frankincense, myrrh, dragons blood, etc? How is it beneficial or not? Does it enhance or interfere with the properties of the resins?

Hey, I would like to ask : there is some resources saying that I should let it infuse in a dark place rather than sunshine. What is your thoughts on this? what is the difference between these 2 methods? thanks xxx
@SmallSeeds14 күн бұрын
I thought my reply went through before. Sorry!
@SmallSeeds14 күн бұрын
I am glad you asked! Since I made this video 4 years ago I have changed this part of the process to let my oils infuse out of direct sunlight. I rarely use the folk method anymore to be honest but the idea was to let the sun help the herbs infuse into the oil. However, the UV rays can actually be damaging to the herbs/oil and also shorten the shelf life. If you do decide to go with this method you could always put a brown paper bag over the jar. Or just let it infuse out of direct sunlight.

Such a great instructional video, thank you!

The Prunella vulgaris plant sounds wonderful to look into, thank you again! 🌻

@SmallSeeds2 ай бұрын
You could but you’d have to make sure to use it quicker as it may not be as shelf stable. Make sure they are completely covered in the oil as well. I haven’t tried making a spray with the oils so I couldn’t say for sure. I imagine the thickness of the oil would make it harder to spray.
