- October 05, 2013Herbal oils have a lot of uses! They can be used on their own but they are also a great base for balms and salves. You can actually purchase the herbal oil but you can also make it. Infusing oil with herbs is actually easy to do even for those who have no experience in doing it. In fact, if you know how to boil water, you will have no problem in making your very own herbal oil infusion.
Choosing Your Oil
The first thing that you would have to do while you are in the process of making your herbal oil infusion is to choose the oil. There are 3 factors that you have to consider when you are making a choice as to the best oil, that is, sustainability, skin sensitivity, and availability. People who are in the herbal oil creation business suggest organic olive oil for herbal infusion due to its ability to resist oxidation and the stability of the oil. However, you can also use sunflower, coconut, sweet almond, apricot, grape seed or even avocado oil for this purpose.Picking Your Herbs
