Oils
Creating your own oils:
2 cups fresh flowers and/or herbs
amber or blue glass bottle
1 cup sesame oil
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
10 drops vitamin E oil
1. Gather the herbs or flowers while they
are fresh in the midmorning.
2. Spread the herbs/flowers on paper
towels and allow to wilt overnight.
3. The next day stuff the herbs to fill
the jar.
4. Pour the oil over the herbs to fill
the jar. Now you can use 2 cups of just
sesame oil.
5. With a chopstick poke the herbs
allowing them to release air and gases.
6. Top off oil as necessary.
7. Store oil in a dark cool spot.
8. For the next 6 days repeat 5,6, & 7.
9. Let sit for the next 6 days, then on
the 7th day repeat 5,6, & 7.
10. Again let it sit for 6 days and on
the 7th repeat 5,6, & 7.
11. Let it sit again for 6 days, then
strain the oil and store in an amber or
blue bottle. If you must use clear glass
store oil in a dark place where sunlight
won't hit it.
12. Add the vitamin E to the oil
and store.
Thank you, Coyote Skys, for this!
Blending oils:
Choose a base oil:
Safflower
Sunflower
Coconut
Apricot kernel
Jojoba
Almond
Hazelnut
Grapeseed
(Note: Jojoba is a good choice, since it is not
a true oil, so it never becomes rancid
and can be kept for longer periods of time.)
Using a clean, sterilized jar, put in
1/8 of a cup of your base oil. Add
the essential oils in the recommended
amounts using an eye dropper. Swirl (do
not stir) the essential oils into the
base oil in a clockwise direction.
Store all oils away from heat, light and
moisture. Be sure to label your bottles.
