A Guide to Making Herbal Infused Oil
Herbal infused oils are versatile products with a wide range of uses, from skincare to culinary purposes. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make your own:

Materials Needed:
Dried Herbs: Choose herbs that are appropriate for your desired use. For example, lavender for relaxation, calendula for skin soothing, or rosemary for hair growth.
Carrier Oil: This is the base oil that will infuse with the herbs. Popular choices include olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, or sweet almond oil.
Glass Jar: Make sure it's clean and dry.
Cheesecloth or Fine Mesh Strainer: For straining the oil.
Instructions:

Prepare the Herbs:

Ensure your herbs are clean and dry.
If using fresh herbs, you may need to wilt them slightly to prevent mold
.
Fill the Jar:
Fill the jar about halfway with your chosen herbs.

Add the Carrier Oil:

Pour the carrier oil over the herbs, making sure they are completely submerged.
Leave some space at the top of the jar to allow for expansion.

Seal and Infuse:

Seal the jar tightly with a lid.
Place the jar in a warm, dark place, such as a kitchen cabinet or pantry.
Let it infuse for 2-6 weeks, shaking the jar daily.

Strain the Oil:

Strain the oil through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer into a clean, sterilized jar.

With a little patience and creativity, you can create a variety of herbal infused oils for your specific needs. Enjoy the therapeutic benefits of these natural remedies!
