Make sure to cover all of the herbs with the oil. Leave half of an inch at the top of the jar. Cover the jar tightly. Pickling or preserving jars work very well for making your own herbal oil.

If you don't use dried herbs, let them wilt for about 12 hours, then crush them with a mortar and pestle before putting in the oil. Choose an herb-based on how you intend to use the finished herbal oil. For example, you can use neem oil as a natural insecticide or dandruff treatment. • Allow the oil to set. Place the jar on a shelf where it gets plenty of sunlight during the day. Let the mixture sit for two weeks, mixing it by turning it upside down and then right side up twice a day.
