You went by one key point. You want to dry the leaves first. Water can/will cause spoilage. You're making an infusion here, not the essential oil.

I totally disagree about your hair. Your incredible, wonderful, beautiful, wild, untamed hair!Watching you (and your hair) talking about a happy subject with love and joy is the most beautiful thing in the world. Thank you for this great information and for being so unbelievably gorgeous. With awesome and completely complementary and not-distracting-at-all hair.

Oh my god. I remember you as covid critic of the very first hours. And now you`re promoting sage??? I`m an approved therapist for those oils and practitioning for many years. But this makes me wonder. What are you doing now? Your call and task is not to sell such stuff in stormy times. We may do that as good as you. Are you still a tigress as you were in my opinion for such a long time, or are you a little tiny mouse sniffing sage???

Wow. My loved ones were poisoned. I am looking for ways to heal them. Bringing people cheap natural ways to not be sick, seems like a mitzvah, and it interests me. Women used to share these recipes. I don’t agree that it’s not appropriate

Excellent! I have a huge perennial sage I started from seed in one of my terraces to the south. Way too much to simply dry & crush for sage dressing, this opens possibilities for an entirely new use of its potential for healing for me!

Great! My granny used to swear by sage, from a tisane for coughs (it works!) to stuffing a goose with that and onion before roasting, and then roasting a few leaves in ghee to serve. It's just lovely. Thanks for giving more context.

Hi, Naomi! Fun to see you there on the rural porch steps. We can hear, see you fine, no issues — other than, perhaps hold up the herb stems and/or jar (in this video) a bit higher as the dialogue crawl at bottom occludes @ bottom 1/4 of screen. At least that’s what occurs on my iPhone.

Also! You’re a lovely woman with gorgeous, wild and wonderful, storyline hair — please, though, find a way to secure it on the side perhaps, so you’re not messing with it/pushing it out of your eyes every few seconds. Super distracting, and I’m sure you don’t want that! Maybe a fun/lovely/ subtle, whatever might please you in the moment, clip/comb??

You asked for comments re if we could see, hear you okay…So, I took that request for observations a bit further 😉

All the very best to you and yours in all you undertake. I’m seeing that it’s a lot you’re creating. Excellent — thank you! Suzanne-Marie

TOTALLY RUDE!

Yes I love Naomi, but constantly pushing back her hair is very distracting. It’s at least 20 times per episode and I bet she doesn’t even realize she’s doing it. Spoken with love and respect!

“Storybook hair”, not “storyline”! Geesh, Spellcheck, another ridiculous autocorrect!

Naomi!

I have been so sad today. My very close friend died (emf radiation triggered over period of time). We used to encourage each other to keep pressing on through the hellthat has been forced on us. Now she is gone. It really hurts.

I was in a hurry so had to watch your video on 2x. The storm and drama made me laugh really hard. So much like a day in my life. I needed a good laugh desperately. Thank you.

Now, I have something to tell you. I had a remarkable gift given to me a few weeks ago. A GHOST botanical extractor. For some reason they only seem to promote them at head shops but i don't do that stuff.

As an herbal extractor it is PHENOMENAL. So far, we have made chocolate mint (type of mint, no chocolate added) tincture, spearmint tincture, lemon balm-lemonverbena-lemongrass-lemon thyme blend tincture, marshmallow root preserve and I was thinking about sage. Then you sent this out today!!!

This thing makes unreal tinctures in 4 hours. You can make oils, butters, and extracts too. I usually run it 4 hours and let it sit overnight before straining. Never had anything like this- been making tinctures and oils for years. Full flavor and components.

Instructions included with machine are awful. All you do is pile in fresh herb to just below max line packed in pretty well. Cover in Everclear alcohol (can use glycerine instead) and set the setting to oil,butter, or tincture. Set temp to what you want. Then run it.

For tincture 117F is perfect for most things green and herby.

Strain, keep in dark jar, and you only need a dropper full at a time in water, Juice, as tea,or in the mouth. Alcohol evaporates quickly. Keeps high amt of chlorophyll too.

Has really made natural medicine making tons easier.

Thanks for covering sage oil today. I just have to decide if I want to do tincture or oil. Maybe half amt of each.

The only thing I haven't been able to use this GHOST machine with is elderberry- can't break open the seeds due to cyanide levels so I still have to soak for a couple of months whole the usual way then strain.

BTW, Amazon sold them for around $99 last I knew.

Thanks. Third friend who has died from emf radiation triggered issues. Really tough. (No jabs involved). It even has caused pet deaths for us and friends in question. We have taken measures to help as much as we can..

Isn't that wild? Think about what to do with my sage and you had that literally so fast after i thought about it.

I will let you know if I make oil, tincture or both in the machine and how they turned out. Keep doing what you are doing. It's awesome.

For the COVID, aka, cold and flu, just get some colloidal silver. For sale on Amazon.

30 ppm jar to keep on hand. #- 4 ounces will whack the bugs.

Ever since we got a SilverEdge colloidal silver generator it is amazing how many uses it has. Our cat asks for some when she isn't feeling well. Did you know a few drops in pet water repels fleas? It is crazy but true. Seems like ticks went down to nothing too. She was getting them constantly. Been two months, no ticks. 🤷
