Lavender with Kami McBride + How to Make Lavender Infused Oil

Рет қаралды 9,942

Күн бұрын

Listen in as Kami McBride and I look at the many ways to work with lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) in the kitchen, in the bath, as a way to introduce the younger generation to herbs, for relaxation...the many gifts and health benefits of lavender goes on and on! Plus, you’ll receive access to Kami’s video tutorial on how to make lavender infused oil. This is one of my most cherished ways to work with lavender - you don’t want to miss it!
One of my favorite takeaways from our conversation is that coping with stress isn't about trying to achieve a stress-free lifestyle. It's about bringing enough moments of relaxation into our day, every day.
That is so important! We’re all busy and lavender is a powerful ally that can help us bring those moments of relaxation into our days in an easy and powerful way.
I loved getting to spend time with Kami and I’m excited to share our conversation with you!

I’ve been dabbling in making lotions, body butter, sugar scrubs, lip balms, and bath bombs, etc. but I’d truly love to know how to make my own oil infusions. now that I seen the salt scrub, Kami showed us that also has spiked my interest. Thank you so much for sharing this interview, and the links below. 💜 I love purple tbtw that truly is your colour, Rosalee. 💕

So enjoying this series! Maybe we should each ask ourselves how herbs give us hope. The ‘lavender moment’ really brings it home. Most folks can’t yell at a partner or kick the dog while walking through a field of lavender. It’s hardly possible. You take that deep breath, your shoulders relax, your walk slows. How peaceful. How refreshing. There’s the hope of herbs . . . that they help us become kinder, gentler people. Thank you, Rosalee,.

I love the concept of salt glow 😻 salt is an energy field cleanser! I studied a little bit pranic healing (energy healing), and in that method they are particularly interested in cleansing negative energy. Salt in bath or as a scrub in shower is seen as a great way for every day cleansing 😊 I ve been personally often mixing salt and sesami oil for a shower scrub, since thats lovely for nourishing my dry skin (specially in these extremely cold n dry scandinavian winters). Gotta start mixing an herbal aspect into that as well 🐸

Thanks for all these ideas and recipes. I have two questions: 1. when you rub your body with a soothing herbal oil before you go to sleep, the sheets of the bed must get very oily as well, how do you deal with this? 2. I heard the best oil to get deep into the skin are aminal oils but I’m a vegetarian and I dont llike the smells. Which oil is best to not form a layer on the skin but permeates it well? We were teached that it is in fact the waterbase of lotions that permeate the skin, and the oil forms a protective layer on top of the skin. Not sure this is the correct place to ask these questions ;-). Greetings from Antwerp, Belgium, one week from our holiday to France., looking forward to see the lavender fields again :-)

I like to use jojoba oil on my face and body just before bed. It soaks into the skin readily and isn't oily. I am also not using large amounts at a time. For what it's worth I love sheets and I have expensive sheets, both linen and flannel, and I wouldn't stand for them getting oily!

Honest question: the spiritual portion of this interview sounds very much like a New Age type of spirituality. Is there a stream of herbalism that more closely aligns with the Christian faith?

@HerbsWithRosalee 2 жыл бұрын

It's not uncommon for herbalists to have an earth based spirituality, where divinity is seen in all living things and humans are considered a part of nature (not sure about New Age). I have no doubt there are herbalists out there who share herbalism within a Christian framework but I don't know of any off the top of my head.
