However, if you see evidence that mold is present throughout the oil you should compost it and not use it. It's really quite arbitrary and your call either way. <br /><br />Once you have decanted your oil, store it in the refrigerator to discourage any more molding.<br /><br />Good luck and thanks for commenting!<br /><br />Lisa Zahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491596171533559615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010985088927427640.post-90741116130091371652013-07-07T08:52:55.708-05:002013-07-07T08:52:55.708-05:00Hi and thank you for sharing your knowledge with u...Hi and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. On your right side bar you explained how to infuse the oils. I have read about and done them with putting a coffee filter or cloth on the jar to facilitate the escape of moisture that can cause mold on the oil. And that if you had any on it that you might as well throw it away. But you say to seal it up and just scrape off the mold should it occur. Should I really not be as fussy as I have been? That would be nice.

Matt Wood has many books available and he would discuss yarrow's properties very well, including its abilities to act just like arnica does. His book, The Book of Herbal Wisdom, is my favorite and there is a whole chapter on yarrow in there. You can also read his website. I'd google, Matt Wood herbalist.Lisa Zahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491596171533559615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010985088927427640.post-56164476325354838462012-07-09T15:47:11.471-05:002012-07-09T15:47:11.471-05:00Hello there - I LOVE the idea of using yarrow oil ...Hello there - I LOVE the idea of using yarrow oil in the place of arnica! Can you lead me towards any other places that reference this substitution? I've been looking around the internet for more information but haven't been able to locate any. We use arnica oil all the time and cannot make it ourselves because arnica will not grow here (wild or cultivated) and it is very expensive to buy!! Any help would be appreciated.<br /><br />Cheers - BrookeBrookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058366252458378714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010985088927427640.post-27695179792612730812012-07-09T15:43:01.093-05:002012-07-09T15:43:01.093-05:00Hello there - I was wondering if you could lead me...Hello there - I was wondering if you could lead me towards any references that talk about using Yarrow in the place of Arnica - I LOVE this idea, because we use arnica oil in my home quite frequently, but have no way to make it ourselves, since it does not grow around here, and does not want to be cultivated. I have been searching around the internet for more information about this substitution, but haven't been able to find any. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!<br />Cheers - BrookeBrookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058366252458378714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010985088927427640.post-1662740249629077052012-06-15T18:47:00.608-05:002012-06-15T18:47:00.608-05:00Hi Anonymous, thanks for your comment. I learned ...Hi Anonymous, thanks for your comment. I learned that it does lessen the healing property of a particular herb when you mix it with other herbs. However, many herbalists do it with much success. I would experiment with single-herb remedies and combination remedies to see what works best for your situations. It can't hurt.Lisa Zahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491596171533559615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010985088927427640.post-78047129539981616202012-06-12T09:27:27.438-05:002012-06-12T09:27:27.438-05:00Hi, I have both plantain and yarrow (wild) steepin...Hi, I have both plantain and yarrow (wild) steeping in oil at the mo. I want to make an ointment for my men (husband and son) (and me I guess) to help heal any wounds or scrapes. I am planning to mix both oils with some thyme and sage enfused oil to aid the antiseptic and healing process. However, by adding extra oils will I be lessening the healing property of the salve? Should I just stick to plantain and yarrow?
