Summary
Herbal oil applied to the skin is an excellent form of self-care. Oils provide several benefits: there's the healing from the medicinal constituents of the herb, the affirmation that we're taking care of ourselves, and the self-healing power of physical touch. We need to overcome the incorrect notion that infused oils are for skincare or to look pretty or to take away wrinkles. We do need to keep in mind that when we use oils, we're absorbing things into our skin. That's why herb-based oils are better than petroleum-based oils.
This week's podcast guest is an expert in herbal oils. Kami McBride is the author of The Herbal Kitchen, and she's taught herbal medicine at several colleges. Over more than 30 years, Kami has helped thousands of families make the highest-quality herbal remedies to prevent illness, take care of common ailments, and protect their health naturally.
