Yay!!! Let me know what you end up trying :)

Yes, yes!! So I am in the process of growing medicinals and building our apothecary! I have been making my own herbal teas and that has been wonderful. I am currently infusing plantain with oil to make salves. I have beeswax to work with. I also make our own fire starters for camping. Which my husband says is his favorite fire starter that he has used.

Your own apothecary, how exciting!!! So how did you start that or learn about it? That seems pretty advanced lol

@@kbutrie I started by looking into books from the library from what I could grow in my garden and what I already had. I fell in love with the book called Spice Apothecary and really started there. Doing an apothecary sounded big and scary to me, but when I realized that I can start with my spice cabinet, it just built up from there! I have dried white clover flowers that I now put in teas. Our absolute favorite now is fried lemon peel powder, which I also discovered that you can save the whole lemons after peeling in the freezer to use anytime you need fresh lemon juice!!

Thank you!! I’m gonna search my library catalog tonight and see what they have :)
