Here is my submission for the Natural Medicine Aspect - Sand for Straw - Create a Burdock Root Infused Oil BB.  

I harvested Burdock Root near the Clark Fork in Missoula while attending the PTJ 2021 then dried it in the amazing solar dehydrator at Wheaton Labs.  I started the oil in early August and I decided to break out the crockpot and heat the oil-burdock mixture for approximately 12 hours to finish it.

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided the following:
  - harvesting burdock root
  - making the infused oil
  - finished infused oil in a labeled jar

harvested burdock root:
