By DrChef

Keep in mind these oils are for use on your skin only and are not for oral ingestion.

Shelf life is approximately 6 months.

Ingredients

• 1/2 ounce bulk herbs (your choice)
• 2 C carrier oil (olive, almond, jojoba, etc)
• Crockpot

Preparation

Step 1

1. Mix 1/2 ounces of bulk herbs of your choice with 2 cups of oil.

2. Stir thoroughly.

3. Add the mixture to your slow cooker and allow it to heat on very low heat (around 140 degrees) for 5-7 hours.

4. Remove the mixture from the crockpot and strain with your unbleached cheese cloth.

5. Place the strained liquid into a clean Mason jar and label it appropriately with the type of essential oil and the date. Dating your essential oil is important since the shelf life is about 6-8 months.

6. Store in a cool, dark area.
