How Do I Incorporate the Calendula and Echinacea into my Salve?

At first incorporating plants into salve might seem complicated, but it is not! All you have to do is fill a quart size mason jar with the particular flower your using, then fill the spaces with oil. And let sit in a dark cool spot for 4-6 weeks. After 4-6 weeks strain the plant parts out of the oil. Now you have infused oil! If I used calendula it would be calendula infused oil. You can now use the oil, by making salve, or something else. Now the options vary on what kind of oil you can use. You could use anything from grape seed oil to olive oil just do your research to make sure you find the right oil for what you need. So that’s how you get all the nutrients and benefits out of the flower you want, to use it just infuse it!
