  2. On a related note, @MaQuest . I've made herbal infusions that I've used in #ColdProcess #Soapmaking, in place of the water. Dried herbs can give texture (I've added lavender on top of soap after pouring it into molds), and some herbs and flowers can be used to make #Enfleurage (I've used coconut oil for that, which I then used to make soap). I have not tried using fresh herbs, though.

    How To Use Fresh Herbs In Soap Making

    Last updated: June 16, 2025

    "Adding herbs to soap can enhance both its appearance and texture. One straightforward method is to sprinkle dried herbs into the soap mixture before pouring it into the mold. A small quantity of dried herbs creates a delicate visual texture, while a larger amount of roughly chopped fresh herbs can introduce a 'scrubby' texture. To incorporate herbs through the lye water, you can brew a herbal tea, with the option to either discard the herbs or retain them for later use in the soap. Additionally, herbs can be used as decorative touches on top of the soap or mixed in before pouring.

    "It’s recommended to add about ½ to 1 teaspoon of dried herbs for every pound (454g) of soap. These herbs, added at the 'Trace' stage, might slightly bleed during curing, creating a warm halo effect around each piece. Common culinary herbs like dried rosemary, pureed spinach, and dried peppermint can be utilized effectively."

  3. New zine! Not about beans!

    This one has my recipe for an herbal pain-relief salve with hops, the one I use for endo and ovarian cyst pain. You could also use the instructions to make other salves with different herbs. As always, wishing ease and rest to everyone in pain today 🌱

  5. Dear Friends of #Jasmine #tea,

    As you may know:

    - Jasmine is an evergreen, related to olive. Grows in London no problem. If I mix it with green tea I should have a wondrous tea...
    - #Herbs are one of the easiest ways of urban farming on a windowsill, balcony, under LED grow-lights or in a garden
    - Herbal medicine has some wondrous usages, that big pharma is trying to label as unsafe (surprised? Me neither.)

    In other words make sure you know how to heal your family and friends, if available.
