Infused oils of St John's Wort and Arnica started, also one for making ointment...

Tinctures of Wormwood and Yarrow in Everclear going.

(Everclear is cheaper than 50% vodka -- buh?  Lack of "flavoring", maybe?)

Everclear doesn't taste, as such, but if you lick a spilled bit off your hand it does burn just a bit.  This wuss isn't trying a shot yet.

Stupid question: what are you making?

Arnica oil for bruises, St John's Wort oil for...experiments...

and the Wormwood and Yarrow tinctures for my medicine chest.

If you can see the entry asking for testers for the lip butters I'm making, they're not so "exotic" and if you want a sample (and will answer a poll later about them) leave your address on the screened comments there :)

I sent you the info!

What caught my eye was the St. John's Wort, because I know that's for happiness. I've recently started using it to get through the tedium at work.

Obviously I am not asking for you to reveal anything you don't want to. I'm just saying you caught my interest. :)

Oh, it's not anything secret, just honest-to-goodness first-aid / medicine chest stuff.

The mixed herbal oil will be for an antibiotic / cytophlyactic ointment (think Bacitracin or Neosporin, but made form herbs and olive oil).

Wormwood tincture can be used for "intestinal upsets".

The rest, I'll find out!
