INFUSED OILS
Some healing herbs don’t contain much volatile, essential oil, yet have very powerful healing properties. Such herbs can be macerated (infused) in an oil base such as almond or olive oil to extract their healing virtues. Such ‘infused’ oils can either be applied topically, directly to the skin, or mixed with other oils and waxes to create healing salves and lotions.

The specific properties of infused oils depend on the plants that have lent their healing powers to a particular infusion. They can be used as soothing massage oils and body lotions or added to various cosmetic preparations to provide an extra therapeutic effect. For guidance on specific medicinal properties consult a qualified practitioner or herb manual.
