How to make an herb infused oil?

How do you make an herbal infused oil? I want to make my own Bringraj (Eclipta alba) infused oil (in either sesame or coconut oil) because it is to expensive to buy already made. Should I use the powdered form of Bringraj? I read somewhere that some infusions require undried plants.. please only informed answers, I'd hate to take advice from someone who doesnt know what they are talking about and waste twenty dollars. Thanks!

The easiest way to make an infusion is to just drop your herbs into a jar of oil. It works better if you heat the oil and herbs first.

An Acne Herbal Hand and Footbath

n a book I read by William L. Fischer called Hidden Secrets of Super Perfect Health at Any Age, Book II, 1986, I learn how to do herbal footbaths.

In chapter 10, The F-M Circulizer System, Fischer discusses the use of an herbal footbath. After reading this chapter, I realized how herbs in a footbath could improve your skin and help you eliminate acne.

This book was written in 1986 and Fischer claims herbal footbaths have been in use overseas since 1946!

Now, you can do either a footbath or a hand bath. Once you prepare a container with hot water you can put your feet or hands into it and get the same results.

If you already have foot spa, thank your mother, sister, or whoever bought it because you’re in for a treat. If you don’t, with $20 or $30 you can get one just like I did.

When you use a heated footbath, veins in your feet start to expand. Over a period of 15-20 minute, the warm water affects your entire vascular (blood) system and you get improved blood circulation.

By adding an herbal infusion into the hot water in the footbath, minerals and other phytochemicals from the herbs enter the soles of your feet and into Your Blood stream.

This means that you can introduce herbal phytochemicals into your blood stream using the footbath. During your footbath, these herbal chemicals quickly circulated throughout your body and get to work neutralizing acid, killing bacteria, and improving your skin circulation.

Here is an herbal combination you can use. This herbal combination was taken and modified slightly from a book written by Daniel B. Mowrey, Ph.D., called The Scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine, 1986. Mowrey says,

“This (herbal) blend attacks external skin disorders from within, purifying the blood, carrying away waste, reinforcing the blood’s ability to ward off infectious agents.”

The herbal combination to use is,

* Dandelion root – purifies blood and improves liver function
* Yellow dock root – purifies blood, helps liver, is anti-bacterial
* Saraparilla root – has antibiotic action, promotes waste elimination through urine and sweating
* Echinacea – increases immunity and promotes skin healing
* Licorice – protects the liver so that it can detoxify the blood better
* Kelp – provide minerals and vitamins and binds heavy metal that are bad for health
* Chaparral – is anti-microbial making effective against acne.
* Fresh Garlic – cut up a few cubes of garlic and place them into the hot water. Garlic is has antibacterial properties.

Buy one ounce of each herb and mix them.

Here’s how to do the herbal footbath,

* Place 2-3 tablespoons of herbal mix into 1 ½ cups of water
* Boil the water with herbs – use only a glass, porcelain, or stainless steel container
* After water starts to boil, pull the container off the stove
* Let tea sit for 15-30 minutes. The longer the tea sits the stronger the tea and its effects
* Prepare your foot spa with water
* Strain the tea to remove leaves and roots
* Poor tea and cut garlic into the foot spa
* Place your feet or hands in the hot water for 15 – 30 minutes.

I have been using a foot spa for many different conditions for my family and myself. I really like using the footbath. It is a convenient way to by pass your digestive system and get more nutrients into your body

Chinese herbal medicine jin yin hua is thought to be able to remove heat and for releasing toxins and poisons from your body. Chinese traditional medicine has been using this herb for thousands of years. In fact, the first known use of jin yin hua is dated back to 659 AD by Tan Ben Cao. In the west, this herb is commonly known as honeysuckle. Europeans once used honeysuckle, or woodbine, for many different complaints, including asthma, urinary problems, and childbirth.

Jin yin hua comes from the flower buds of the herb honeysuckle. In Chinese herbal medicine, the buds are stir-fried lightly to help treat diarrhea symptoms. Summer time is when you should harvest the flower buds.

The flower buds play an important role in Chinese herbal medicine. The flower buds or jin yin hua are often used to treat conditions that are also feverish. For instance, sometimes, diarrhea is also accompanied by fever. They are said to be effective in treating conditions attributed to the summer heat. Apparently, jin yin hua can clear the toxins or "fire poisons" from the body.

Fire poisons cause different ailments such as dysentery and boils. Other parts of the honeysuckle can also be used. They include the flowers and the stems. You would have noticed the picture of the honeysuckle on the bottles of your cough remedies. That is right. Flowers from the honeysuckle are also used to make a syrup to use as an expectorant for coughs, as a diuretic, and for asthma.

Honeysuckle stems are are called jin yin teng and ren dong teng. These are used as Chinese herbal medicine in acupuncture. Many acupuncturists think that it helps to stimulate the energy flow or qi. Dysentery and feverish colds are treated with honeysuckle stems and branches and rheumatoid arthritis is treated with them as well. Combining the honeysuckle with other herbs is normal, too, especially to prepare a remedy that cools.

You can consume jin yin hua or honeysuckle in various ways. You can make an infusion tea and

treat it as an expectorant. You can also combine honeysuckle with other herbs, including

mulberry and cowslip, to make a tea for the relief of asthma and coughs. A syrup can be made

out of the flowers and buds for a tincture to relieve diarrhea and gastroenteritis symptoms.
