Today, I would like to share with you a magical infusion oil recipe that you can create at home. Infusion oils are a powerful tool in the world of magic and can be used for various purposes such as healing, protection, love, and abundance. To create your own magical infusion oil, you will need a carrier oil such as olive oil or coconut oil, and a selection of herbs or flowers that correspond to your desired intention. It is important to choose herbs or flowers that have properties that align with your goal. For example, if you want to create a love-infused oil, you could use herbs such as rose petals or lavender. To begin, gather your herbs or flowers and crush them gently to release their natural oils and scent.
We use medicinal herb oils in a variety of ways, both in personal care and for our shop. I use this light jojoba oil infusion as my daily facial moisturizer, a slightly thicker sweet almond oil + argan oil blend for my body, and other oil infusions in homemade salves too!
Though we re calling them herbal oils today, you can infuse all sorts of things in oil including flowers, berries, leaves, roots, stems, spices or fruit. Topically, herb infused oils can be used directly on skin or as a key ingredient to make salves, lip balm, soap, and other natural body care products.
To begin, gather your herbs or flowers and crush them gently to release their natural oils and scent. You can use a mortar and pestle or simply crush them in your hands. Next, place the crushed herbs or flowers into a clean glass jar or bottle.
How to Make Medicinal Herb Infused Oil: Two Ways
I love making herb infused oil! In fact, it’s one of my favorite things to do with herbs from our garden, including lavender, chamomile, calendula and more. Whether you’re interested in making edible oils or homemade skin care products, this article will guide you through everything you need to know to make herbal oils of your own. It’s easy to do, and once you know the basics and best practices, the options of what you can create are endless!
There are two ways to make herb infused oils: using a quick heat method, or a slow cold infusion. Slow infusions are usually considered superior (most therapeutic) since they don’t expose the herbs or oil to heat – which can destroy or degrade the benefits of both. We’ll explore both methods today.
Ensure that the jar is clean and dry to prevent any contamination. After adding the herbs or flowers, pour the carrier oil into the jar, covering the herbs completely. It is important to choose a carrier oil that has a neutral scent, as it will allow the fragrance of the herbs or flowers to shine through. Leave a little bit of space at the top of the jar to allow for expansion. Once all the ingredients are combined, seal the jar tightly and give it a good shake to ensure that everything is well-mixed. Then, place the jar in a cool, dark place such as a cupboard or a drawer. This will allow the herbs and flowers to infuse into the oil over time. Allow the mixture to sit for at least four to six weeks, shaking it gently every few days to ensure that the oil and herbs remain well-blended. This will allow the magical properties of the herbs or flowers to fully infuse into the oil, creating a potent and powerful potion. After the infusion period, strain the oil using a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer to remove any solid particles. Transfer the oil into a clean bottle or container, and it is now ready for use. You can apply the oil directly to your skin, use it to anoint candles, or incorporate it into your rituals and spells. Remember to always set your intention and visualize your desired outcome while using the magical infusion oil. This will help to enhance its effectiveness and ensure that your intentions are carried out. In conclusion, creating your own magical infusion oil is a wonderful way to incorporate the power of herbs and flowers into your magical practice. By following this simple recipe, you can create a personalized oil that aligns with your desired intention, whether it be for healing, protection, love, or abundance. So gather your herbs, crush them, infuse them into a carrier oil, and let the magic unfold..
