Making Oils, Creams, Salves etc with Vegetable Glycerin?
Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2011 11:19 am
So I bought a bottle of vegetable glycerin and don't know what to do with it. I would really like to fill up these two little jars I have with two mixtures, probably some combination of oil, salve, or brew. I read the properties of some of the herbs I have in larger quantities (blessed thistle, witch hazel, yarrow, rosemary, lavender, damiana, sage, cedar leaves) but I don't exactly want to go experimenting blindly. I'm basically looking for good anointing oil recipes, maybe a topical bruise salve, a fever/headache relieving brew, I don't know, basically healing and aromatherapy recipes that keep and include vegetable glycerin in the list of ingredients.
Also, less important, but I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be safe to make a morning glory tincture with vegetable glycerin. I've read in several spellbooks not to drink tinctures, but they usually don't use glycerin, and I've read that glycerin makes unpalatable herbs easier to use internally. So know that when I say I'm interested in making something for internal use that
