hi it’s Debbie with a pic and coat Farmstead and this morning I’m doing something uh new to myself uh I’m going to be making some oregano oil it’s highly beneficial you can take it internally and you can also use it topically there’s a myriad of uses for it um I am not a physician I don’t pretend to be one and I don’t prescribe anything so do your own research if you are going to make any kind herbal remedy please check with your pH first to make S sure it’s safe for you some herbal remedies even though their herbs you think oh they’re safe for everybody well some medications if you’re on them um or if you have different allergies can cause serious serious problems anyways I have to get that out of the way so what you’re going to need is boiling water my water is boiled you turn it off you come over here and I read I can’t really credit one person or the other I read a lot of information um some people just put it in a warm window sill some people set it in the water you’re going to need some oregano which I have here and I’m using olive oil and it’s extra virgin olive oil it would be better if you used organic but I don’t have that right now you’re going to need a lid for said jar something to stir with and then I use uh painters tape to mark it and I’m just putting oregano oil and today’s date so you’ve got your your oil oops sorry then you’re going to pour just as much oil in there and it says to put most of them are at least 1 inch above some are floating you’re going to stir it really really well this is approximately 50/50 you can measure it if you like after I’ve stirred it I’m going to put some more oil in there we go cuz it soaks it up and my stuff my oregano was I’m terrible with my camera today I’m so sorry my oregano was about to this Mark so I’ve got just as much oregano as I do oil and it’s pretty thick in there as you can see stir that up I might even give it another I might as well just use up all this olive oil there we go you don’t it’s not an exact science it’s kind of the folk method I guess that’s the way I make my tinctures I do 2/3 of herb herbs and then the rest with vodka but uh this is different this is oil so it stirred up really really well I’m going to put my lid on and then I’m going to bring it over here and I’m going to set it in this water that we brought to a boil now I’m going to turn this on for maybe 20 minutes I’ll let it sit in there and this just kind of expedites the extraction of whatever herb you’re using uh when I make my face Sab that I do I keep it on boil and I simmer it cuz I’m infusing um my face s but this all the ones I’ve read say not well they don’t say not to do that they just say to do it this method bring your water to Boiling shut it off then put your l jar in there so we will be back after about 15 minutes and then I’m also going to tell you what some of the benefits are of the oil okay so it’s been 15 minutes this is what we’ve got here I just kind of just gently rock it around Stir It Up as you’ll notice it’s a little thinner cuz it’s warm I’m going to go ahead and put my label that I made with my painters tape on there and I’m going to going to keep this in a cool dry Place some a lot of people were saying to keep it in a sunny window I just I’m going to keep this like I do my tinctures cool dry place then every day or so especially at first I’m going to go in and rock this a couple times just to stir this and you want to keep that in the cupboard for two to four weeks so I’m going closer to four weeks so I’ll put a reminder in my phone for that but I did write down some of the benefits I mean there’s so many more it’s crazy and I got all this information from our blouse.com they have they show you how to make it they show you all the benefits um how to use it all that good stuff so just a couple it’s a antimicrobial antioxidant anti-inflammatory for swelling joints muscles that type of thing antibiotic you can take it internally and use it topically since you’re making this at home it’s not to be confused with um an oregano essential oil that is super super concentrated you do not want to take that internally that’s very important and if you’re using that topically you have to dilute it so you have to go do your research so this is just the homemade version that is not an essential oil okay so now let’s see where we at uh it even has cancer suppressing agents in it uh anti- um diabetic properties anti fungal for toenail fungus yeast infections in the ears all that kind of stuff uh for dogs is what I’m thinking uh it regulates menstration and there’s many many many many more so please go check out the site and again that’s our blouse.com that’ll have everything you need to know and um I’ll attach that in the comments for you so this is what I’m doing and this is kind of like uh one to catch all I mean it’s it’s good for everything everything so um again I’m not a doctor do your own research check with your regular doctor to make sure it’s safe for you to use these um and just apply it if you are going to apply it topically apply it in a very small area just to make sure you’re not allergic to it um but anyways so after four weeks what you’re going to do is you’re going to strain this out I just use a cheesecloth I put it inside a a screened colander that I have cheesecloth and then put this either in a dark glass bottle or jar and or I just keep mine in the cupboard out of the sunlight because I have so many it’s insane I could not get that many dark jars but anyways so that’s all you do and this if you store it correctly will keep for up to one year so don’t make a whole bunch cuz I think a little bit of this goes a long ways and I’m very excited to see how this works all right I hope you guys are all enjoying your day I hope the sun is shining where you are I hope you’re safe happy and healthy thank you so much for watching subscribing commenting all that good stuff and sharing God bless you
