So I decided I'm going to steep some herbs in oil to increase potency and thought I'd share what I'm doing even if I won't use it for a while.
I concocted this mix:
Essential oils:
•10 drops Ylang Ylang
•15 drops Vitex
•20 drops Lavender Extra
I wanted to add hops but was out sadly.
Herbs:
•1 fenugreek capsule, 1500mg
•1 dong quai/wild yam/chaste berry, between 300-400 mg per herb in 1 cap
•2 saw palmetto, 450mg each
Filler/Carrier:
•flax seed oil
I used a mortar and pestle to make the herbs from the capsules finer and combined it all in a small dark brown glass bottle commonly used for EO's. I placed it in the back of my sock drawer so it can stay cool and in a dark spot til January. I think it'll be pretty well done steeping by the time I filter it.
If anyone wants to try that combo of stuff with other stuff added in the mean time, let me know how it goes! (:
