Infused Herbs

See my herbs video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBGm5ATEsfw

This is what I did with some of them a few weeks ago:

Apple Cider Vinegar infused with horsetail, nettle, plantain leaf, hibiscus, and roses. This will be used as a rinse or wash to help keep my itchies at bay.

Coconut & Macadamia Nut Oil infused with horsetail, calendula (marigold), and vanilla bean pod. I've seen this floating around cyberworld as a variation of Moe's Growth Oil. I use it for the lovely scent and to oil my scalp.

Distilled water infused with lavender, lemongrass, and pink rosebuds. This will be used as a spritz to refresh my hair, skin, and linen.

Where did you get the plantains leaf?

@eensha6242001 At a local health food store in the bulk bins.

I love this. I wanted a starting place for a citric acid, or vinegar rinse for people who want to use cold processed soap to wash their hair. It makes the pH too. High. I know how to thicken the acid rinse, so it would stay on the hair and not go down the drain and preserve it, but smell better? Not so much. You gave me a great idea! Oh, and a polysorbate 20 to keep your linen spray mixed and germall plus (cheap) to use at about 1% to preserve your spray so no germs. I am super impressed.

@Over40Princess Glad I could inspire. As for the polysorbate bit... Yea, you're on your own with that one. LOL! Do let me know how it turns out, though.

can you send me the measurements of each

[blackphd2b]

@sleemorris I didn't use specific measurements. I think I just eyeballed the ingredients. Sorry.

OMG how in the world did I miss this video when I was searching for a way to do this?!! I've done infusions pretty much the same way you have shown here. Never thought about putting the top on the crock pot. I love, love, love, the infused ACV and oils!

i watched another video and they had their lids closed for the iol something about restricting how much moisture gets in... how did yours come out

[heavenzbest1]
