Q: Why choose powder instead of whole flowers?
A: Powder measures quickly and can infuse efficiently, but it requires finer straining for a smooth finish.

Q: Can I use a water infusion for a compress?
A: Yes, but it is typically milder than oil or alcohol preparations, and it must be used on intact skin only.

Q: Do I need to dilute an alcohol liniment for compresses?
A: Many makers dilute before using
