There’s something ancestral about digging through old remedy books, carefully hand
selecting each botanical for its specific benefits… whether I'm formulating a new tea, tincture, lotion, or soap. Every single batch goes through the same thoughtful research process.
First, I dig into which herbs require heat versus cold extraction to pull out their best qualities, especially when using my MagicalButter machine on the No Heat setting to keep delicate raw botanicals intact. Then I study how the plants will interact together, double check whether their active properties can survive processes like saponification or heating, and fine tune the exact temperature window to blend everything so those beneficial properties stay completely intact.
It’s part art, part science, and a whole lot of love for the plants! Do you ever find yourself getting lost in vintage herbal books for inspiration? Let me know below! 👇
