    I was just wondering which has the best potency: Plant extracts or grounded version or plant oils?

    Personally I found powder extracts useless unless they are soluble. Have tried all sorts of uses for microfine nopal powder without success.

    None of them. There are very, very few plant materials that do anything at all.

    But what about where you have such things as motcha green tea in hot water, won’t that be a green tea infusion?

    I have an abundance of glycerin and dry lavender and was just wondering if I could make extracts off the lavender. Although I am not sure I can use such extracts for sale, but at least I may use it for myself.
