Calendula Massage Oil

Tess May 11th, 2007

* 8 ounces of oil (olive, almond, apricot, or sunflower)
* 1 ounce calendula flowers
* (You can add a few drops of essential oils if you like. Try 5-10 drops each of orange and lavender or chamomile. For the ultimate luxury use rose essential oil)

Place the oil and calendula flowers in a crock pot on about 4 hours to extract the beneficial properties of the calendula into the oil. Check very carefully that your oil is not getting to hot! Allow the oil to cool and then strain it using cheese cloth.
