This is a very easy way to make your own skin treatment oil. Marigold is known for it’s healing powers and can be used for ointments, salves and creams.
Step one: grow your own Marigolds in a piece of garden. The colours are amazing!
Take of the Marigold petals and put them in a clean jar. Great to do with kids. Make sure your hands are clean!
Fill the jar with vegetable organic oil and cover it with clean (cooked) cotton cloth. Let it sit in a sunny place for 3 weeks. Gently move the jar every day to keep it mixing. Finally siff the oil and ready!
More details can be found on http://en.heilkraeuter.net/recipes/marigold-oil.htm, however, using coton cloth to cover the jar releases moisture better.
Hey, can we use sesame or safflower oil too ? or only olive oil is recommended ?
hi Vasanti, you can use any oil, Almond oil is good too and smells nice.
