How To Make an Herbal Oil

Hello friends!  I made a video today about how to make an herbal oil.  This is half of the oil that I will be putting in a future joint and muscle salve.  I hope y'all like it! 










My recipe, plus I add peppermint essential oil


Rules of Thumb
  1. You need a cup of oil after straining so adjust accordingly
  2. Use the highest quality oil you can afford
  3. Use the highest quality herbs you can afford or forage 
  4. The oil will infuse for at least six weeks
  5. Use herbs that you know and feel comfortable with
  6. Use your instinct!  Put in some tomato leaves...;)

Good Oils to Start With

  • Comfrey-Calendula
  • Lavender
  • Peppermint
  • St. Johns Wort
  • Rose
  • Ginger
