In reply to Faye. To consume the actual berries, they actually need to be cooked because the seeds contain a material that will make you sick to your stomach. However, in a formulation where you will be straining out the seeds, no need to cook the berries.

In reply to Ashleigh. go ahead and use your senses to make sure. if it smells off or you see signs of growth, yes, toss it. If it seems fine, it most likely is- I keep a close watch on my oils made with fresh plant, and rosemary is actually one that lasts.

In reply to Amanda. The topical oils targets a specific part of the body and the medicine doesn't enter the blood stream like taking it interally does so it doens't have the same countraindications. Of course, if you do feel like it's negatively affecting you, you could remove it from your blend. I'd recommend tracking your emotions to see if it's the sjw or anything else.

I’m wondering if topical SJW is counterindicated for those of us taking antidepressants… I have made several of your amazing infused oils on the last new months and im astounded by their potency! Ive been using an arnica, sjw and yarrow blend to massage my calves due to achilles tendonitis and ive been having a rough time the last few days regulating my emotions, which is not normal… im also perimenopausal so it coukd be anything, am i right? thank you so much for your generous teachings and guidance!

Wellness cabinet or Herbal pantry to differentiate from the regular medicine cabinet. You could also just use the apothecary chest but that is a mouthful.
