St. John's Wort Salve 聖約翰草藥膏

Inspired by reading this herb book, I made this St. John's Wort Salve.

The following information is from: The Complete Herbs Sourcebook by David Hoffmann, p. 320.

"... Externally, it is a valuable healing and anti-inflammatory remedy. As a lotion, it will speed the healing of wounds and bruises, varicose veins, and mild burns. The oil is especially useful for the healing of sunburn."  

聖約翰草外用功效：癒合與抗發炎。加速傷口、瘀青、靜脈曲張、輕微燙傷的痊癒。浸泡油對曬傷很有幫助。

Tried this salve. It can ease itchy skin too.

Infusion oil：Organic beeswax＝7.2：1
浸泡油：有機蜂蠟＝7.2：1

Germany China Oil：Few drops
德國百靈油：Few drops

St. John's Wort Infusion

Double boiler method. Melt the two ingredients, remove from water,
add China oil, then pour into tins.

Can be used right away after cool.

Honey and Oatmeal Soap with Chamomile Infusion

The soaps I made recently are all 5% super fat. They tend to be softer.
I think they may need more time to cure, perhaps 2 months.
I will try to reduce the water ratio to 2.1:1.

1. Sodium lactate: 1%
2. Chamomile infused olive oil
3. Honey: 1T
4. Fine ground oatmeal: 1T
5. Mica colorant
6. Glycerin soaps and soap curls for decoration on the top 
7. Unscented

This recipe is from: https://thenerdyfarmwife.com/lotion-bar-sticks-for-arthritis-and-achy-muscles/

In Jan's post:

"This recipe was inspired by newsletter subscriber Bonnie, who was seeking a lotion bar in a deodorant stick container for achy muscles and arthritic pain.

It features a trio of herbs:

• cayenne – contains capsaicin which has been shown to offer relief from arthritic and other types of pain
• ginger – traditionally used to warm, increases circulation and relieve pain when applied topically
• arnica flowers – traditionally used to treat swelling, bruising and arthritic joint"

Total time

Author: Rachel Conners

Serves: 8 slices

Ingredients 

1. For the crust （6吋活動圓模）

• ½ cup raw pecans (胡桃）
• ½ cup almond flour （杏仁粉）
• 2 pitted dates （黑棗）
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil （椰子油）
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon （肉桂粉）
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt （細鹽）

2. For the cheesecake

• 2 cups raw cashews, soaked in cold water for at least four hours or preferably overnight (see Notes)
• ½ cup canned coconut milk, shaken （椰奶）
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled (use refined coconut oil if you want no coconut flavor) （椰子油）
• ⅓ cup pure maple syrup （楓糖）
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice （檸檬汁）
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract or ½ teaspoon vanilla bean powder （香草精）
• ¼ cup freeze-dried blueberries （冷凍藍莓）

3. For the blueberry layer

• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed, if frozen) （新鮮或冷凍藍莓）
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice（檸檬汁）
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds（奇亞籽）【奇亞籽的 8 大功效與副作用】

Directions

1. Grease a 6” springform pan with coconut oil, or line an 6” cake pan with strips of parchment paper for easy removal, and grease well with coconut oil. Set aside. （6 吋活動圓模底部鋪上烤盤紙，周圍可放透明圍邊）
2. Add the pecans, almond flour, pitted dates, coconut oil, cinnamon and salt to a food processor or high-powered blender and pulverize until it comes together into a sort of sticky dough, with small pecan bits remaining. Don’t over process, or it’ll turn into nut butter! Press the pecan date dough evenly along the bottom of the prepared pan.（把餅底餡料除椰子油外全部放入食物調理機，斷斷續續打至粗粒狀，加入椰子油，用手抓均勻，取出餅底餡放入模具，壓緊實，放入冰箱冷藏）
3. In the same food processor or high-powered blender (no need to wash between - I used my Vitamix, but most powerful blenders should do the job), combine all of the filling ingredients except for the freeze dried blueberries and blend for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture is silky smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as necessary. You may need to add a bit more coconut milk or lemon juice to get it to blend smoothly if your blender isn’t super high-powered.（使用 Vitamix 以高速攪拌所有餡料，約需 2 分鐘，呈現非常綿密細緻的狀態）
4. Once it’s smooth, taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness/tartness/spice levels, if desired.（調整口味）
5. Pour ⅔ of the filling into the prepared pan over the pecan crust. Smooth out the top and tap the pan hard against the counter a few times to release any air bubbles. Place in the freezer.（取出模具，倒入 2/3 餡料，輕敲出氣泡，放入冷凍）
6. Add the freeze dried blueberries to the remaining batter and blend to incorporate. Spread over the plain layer. Return to the freezer.（剩下的餡料加入冷凍藍莓，打至綿密狀，取出模具，倒入餡料，再放回冷凍）
7. Rinse out the blender, and add the fresh blueberries, lemon juice and chia seeds to it. Blend until smooth, and then pour over the other layers.（沖洗攪拌杯，放入第三層的餡料，攪拌至滑順狀，取出模具，倒入餡料，再放入冷凍）
8. Place in the freezer to set for at least 3 hours or until completely firm before slicing and serving. I recommend running your knife under hot water to warm it up before cutting the cheesecake with the still-hot (dried) knife.（最少冷凍 3 小時）
9. Serve frozen or let them thaw at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving. Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.（回溫 10~15 分鐘再享用）

Notes

You can also cover the cashews in very hot/boiling water and let them sit for about an hour if you want to speed up the process - it won't be quite as creamy, but it will do the trick!

Loofah Glycerin Soap

用之前做的甘油皂基融化後，加入約 5% 的乳油木果脂，皂模內放入裁好的絲瓜絡，倒入融化的皂液即可。

非常適合這種濕熱的天氣！
