Oil infusions are for external use only.
They can be prepared by hot or cold methods.
For the hot method, fill a jar with fresh herb and cover
with olive, sunflower or almond oil.
Place the jar up to the neck in a saucepan
of water and bring to a medium temperature.
Simmer for up to three hours.
Strain through filter paper or cloth into a brown glass bottle.
Follow the same instructions for the cold method, except that the oil
should be placed on a sunny windowsill instead of heated.
The process can be repeated with the strained
oil infusion and a fresh supply of herbs to make a stronger oil.

To get the maximum benefit from herbal remedies,
the herbs must be properly prepared.
To help determine which herbs should be used
for the condition being treating, see Herbal Home Remedies.

Women of childbearing age should always make sure the herbs they
