        I am needing to make a salve for irritated itch skin for my dog

        I have the herbs I need ( comfrey, chamomile , calendula) in POWDER form only, can powdered herbs be infused into sweet almond oil or coconut oil??

          Sure, you would just want to strain out the herbs after the infusion

            Yup. Greg’s right.

            The only downside is powders are a little harder to strain from an oil than cut and sift herbs. But it ain’t a deal breaker.

            Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
