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!
