Opposites Attract Massage Oil
When opposing sensations of hot and cold meet on your skin, you may just melt.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- ½ cup sunflower oil (or carrier oil of choice)
- 2 tsp cayenne Capsicum annuum pepper, powdered
- 2 tsp ginger Zingiber officinale rhizome, powdered
- 48 drops peppermint Mentha x piperita essential oil
- 10 drops vitamin E oil
Instructions
- Combine the carrier oil and herbal powders in a clean, dry glass jar. Place a square piece of natural waxed paper on top of the jar, then seal the jar with a lid (this protects the extract from any chemical coating that may be on the lid).
- Place the jar in a warm location for 4 weeks.
- When ready, strain the liquid through a stainless steel mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth to remove most of the powder. It’s a good idea to strain the liquid once more through an unbleached coffee filter to further remove the powder from the oil.
- Add essential oil and the vitamin E oil to the infused oil, mix well, and transfer to a clean, dry decorative glass jar. Label and store, unrefrigerated.
