The 2021 Ultimate Full-Plant Oil Guide

Anyone who doesn't know what full-plant oil is, it stands for fully extracted oil, which contains all the compounds I need. As a chronic pain patient who also suffers from insomnia, I find full-plant oil to be the most useful homemade product, or, to say, infused treat, for daily use.

You can also use an oral syringe to make capsules out of homemade full-plant oil. It works great in terms of sleep aids. Full-plant oil products can be base material for lots of food and drinks for pain and for sleep.

Megan Rapinoe “Herbal products have become part of my all-natural recovery system that I use throughout the day to help with pain and inflammation, stabilize my mood and get better sleep. Instead of taking Advil or other pain management meds, I’ve almost exclusively substituted with herbal products”

How to start?

I usually start making my full-plant oil by #decarboxylation using a decarb kit. Break the dried herb apart and gently lay it on the baking glass. I typically go with ecru's first mode, and it works just fine. Wait until everything is cooled down. The dried herb is lightly brown; nothing turns dark brown or black. I placed it with the pan and my ethanol aside in the freezer overnight.

The next step is QWET - quick wash ethanol.

Tools you will need:

1. The ecru glass pan included in the kit

2. A strainer, preferably steel one

3. Coffee filter

4. A glass jar

5. Portable induction stove

6. A pan that fit the ecru decarb kit glass pan

A #QWET full-plant oil tincture simply means soak and wash the dried herb 2-3 times. Then steam off the alcohol from the wash. The result will come out golden - unlike the dark green tinctures people usually make. It tastes flavorless yet preserves all the goodies in the syrup-like remainder.

NOTE: While making a QWET full-plant oil tincture, remember not to put the liquid close to the stovetop as it has a fire hazard.

Conclusion:

Full-plant oil might sound unfamiliar to anyone new to herbal products. But in fact, this is a clean version of homemade plant extracts you can easily get and turn into food or drinks. It might take some steps to make, but the result is rewarding.
