helichrysum odoratissimum - imphepho

[KTB]

There IS an extract available. The essential oil is also active.

[GhostStar]

Hi, KTB. Do you know if odoratissimum works well in water extract?

[KTB]

Hi Ghoststar... to my (limited) knowledge on this plant, I believe that the actives are in the oil... I would recommend a hydroalcoholic extract i.e. vodka. If anyone knows better than I, please step in here, but I think you will need some alcohol in there to pull the goodies out of it.

dissolve a hydro alcoholic extract of it in high proof grain alcohol, and absorb and evap into mullein or damiana.

or, simply soak in vodka for a few days, and reduce the vodka to a very small amount of liquid, and then put it straight onto a base herb, and evap, and load in a pipe.

silica dessicant will help get the last of it evapped n dry. i usually first put mullein in a glass jar, then pour my grain alcohol w/ whatever extracts or isolates in it, then put that jar in a glass cup with very hot water, let it sit for an hour or two, then remove the glasss jar from water bath, put a screen of metal over the material, put a couple silica dessicant packets on screen, and cap jar, let it sit overnight, and it be bone dry.
