How to make a herb infused oil with dried herbs (using the folk method)

Making herb infused oils is a great way to start making your own skin care products and herbal remedies. The method we use in this video is often referred to as the folk method. The folk method is super easy and when you use dried herbs there is less chance of having problems with mold and rancid oil. This is a great method for beginners to start with!

Hey, I would like to ask : there is some resources saying that I should let it infuse in a dark place rather than sunshine. What is your thoughts on this? what is the difference between these 2 methods? thanks xxx

Something I forgot to include at the end of the video is storing your finished oils. The best way to store your finished oil is in a cool and dark place. Using the amber glass jars for storage helps keep uv light from damaging the finished oil. Your finished oil can last up to a year in storage. Refrigeration may help extend the oils shelf life and vitamin e oil and some essential oils can be added to also extend shelf life.

Love it very encouraging to be able to make better choices than what's available at the corner "pharma".

I just did up a large jar of grape seed oil with about 2 ounces coarse chopped cannabis.
Will let you know how it turns out next month. ❤

5:50 I can relate to that. I'm from upstate NY and it has been a miserable summer so far. So much heat and humidity.

The oil you strained at the end (using alcohol) looks so rich. I'm off to get me a bottle of vodka. Thanks

Thank you! I have a package of chamomile for tea, but I never use it. This will give me a reason to finally do something with it. 😅 May as well give it a purpose!

Does anyone know if my oil is salvageable? I dried a bunch of nettle last week, poured olive oil on it, and put it into a jar.
Today I saw the jar had been knocked over. I don’t know if nThe lid was not sealed well, so it was on its side with much of the oil having leaked. I put more oil in it. I smelled it and didn’t like the smell, but I don’t really care for spinach-type smells, so I don’t know.
Should I toss it? I’m wondering if I have lost much of the chemicals I need in the oil that was leaked. And it was on its side for at least a couple of days.
I just spent so much time picking and drying the nettle and wasted so much olive oil…
I’m seriously bummed.

Hi thank you for the helpful video! I am just starting out making my own oil infusions to use on my clients for pain and relaxation (I am a massage therapist). I have a question, would the same process be used for infusing seeds? Also, would it be more potent to crush them beforehand? Thank you in advance 😁

How long is the oil good for after putting them in the dark glass jar, and where to store them.

hi, I have 2 questions, will it be ok if the room not that sunny? And do we let it be at

Would soaking herbs in vodka for the couple of hours first before pouring EVOO help with extraction of more beneficial compounds from the herbs? Thanks.

With this method you wouldn't need to strain through a muslin cloth then a coffee filter for sediment issues?
