Hi all, I got the rest of my herbs in the mail today (I based them on what is in Breast Actives cream): PM, red clover, fenugreek, wild yam.. plus the saw palmetto I got the other day from a local store. I made a cream by dumping a capsule of each (except the PM which is in tablet form. so I just swallowed one instead since it is the start of my period 
) into a bowl and then adding some of my massage oil and some natural body lotion. I mixed it all up with a spoon and then applied some of it and massaged as usual. I realized the saw palmetto brand I bought was not very finely ground so that is why I had a hard time using it in the oil the other day. The other capsules contain finely ground herbs so they mix together better. However, when using them, it is slightly grainy (not as much as the saw palmetto was) and gets a bit messy since the herb powders start to clump together as you massage and then flake off your skin. Anyway, I will use it for now (just in the bathtub or over the sink ). What I am going to try to do since I have all these herb capsules now is to experiment with making an infused oil using the powders. I'll let it infuse for 3-4 weeks and then strain and use it as my massage oil. The only problem is I don't know how many capsules to use, etc. In the videos I saw, with dried herbs, you just cover the herbs with oil. The powders are more concentrated so it doesn't make sense to do it like that.
I also applied some of the leftover cream I made on my breasts as a mask and I am sitting here with it on right now.
