In this lecture, Teresa Boardwine explores the preparation and practical use of infused oils and medicinal salves for the home or clinical apothecary.
The emphasis is on simple, effective formulations, including the power of single-herb salves, for everyday topical care. Boardwine covers herb and carrier oil selection, seasonal preparation techniques, beeswax ratios, and proper storage to maintain potency and stability.
Learn how to evaluate infused oils using sensory cues and how essential oils and antioxidants such as vitamin E may be used to enhance preservation and therapeutic effect.
