Organic Infused Oils For Massage, Creams, Ointments

  • Infused Oils carry the therapeutic properties of the individual herbs. They may be used for massage, for inclusion into creams and ointments, as well as for their wonderful effects in skincare products.
  • A Massage Oil: May be enhanced in its effectiveness by adding a small amount of the pure essential oil to the infused oil. (E.g. Tumeric infused oil and Tumeric pure essential oil).
  • To make an ointment: Add your chosen infused oil to a small amount of a base cream and combine well. For a more intense action, you might like to add along with the infused oil, a tincture of the same plant and some pure essential oils (E.g. Tumeric infused oil, Tumeric tincture and Tumeric essential oil). This creates a multi layered action, creating much more effectiveness via the three different modes of extraction. Each extract contains various chemical components of the plants properties and when combined in this manner are more effective than the individual extract.
  • To make a salve: Combine Beeswax, or your choice of solid, with your infused oil, plus some essential oil of the same plant. (See recipe section for ideas.)
  • In skincare products, add your choice of infused oils, along with tinctures and pure essential oils (as per your chosen recipe) to your base cream to produce beautiful regenerating creams and lotions. (See recipe section for a selection.)

Our infused oils are created from organically grown herbs infused correctly into cold pressed, first press, virgin olive oil – or organic cold pressed sesame or sweet almond oils.
