Recipe Instructions:
Herbal Oil Infusions
: Coarsely grind herbs. Proceed to make an herbal-infused oil with the herbs and olive oil following the instructions for herbal oils. Pour strained herbal-infused oil into a jar, add the essential oils, cap and shake. It is ready for use.
You may not have access to all of these herbs, unless you are growing them, if so you can make a simpler oil with just the wormwood. The effectiveness of the oil depends in large part on the bitterness of the wormwood, good quality wormwood should taste disgustingly bitter and have strong aroma.
Green Bug Juice With Fresh Herbs
If you are growing these herbs, stuff a jar half full with wormwood and then filling the rest of the jar with equal parts of rue, sage, tansy, pennyroyal, and southernwood and make your herbal oil infusion. For every 2 ounces of strained oil you get, add 50 drops eucalyptus, 13 drops lemongrass and 10 drops of spearmint.
