🌼 Nature’s Golden Remedy: Dandelion Oil
Dandelions are more than just sunny garden flowers — they’re a natural treasure for soothing sore muscles, nourishing the skin, and easing inflammation. Making your own dandelion oil at home is simple, sustainable, and full of benefits.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to create your very own batch of golden herbal oil.
🌞 Step-by-Step Guide to Make Dandelion Oil
1. Forage
Harvest fresh dandelion flowers on a sunny day, ideally between 1–2 PM, when their healing energy is at its peak. Choose clean, pesticide-free blooms.
2. Soak the Flowers
Place the flowers in water for 20 minutes to remove dirt and tiny insects.
3. Soak Again
Drain and soak once more for another 20 minutes to ensure they’re fully clean.
4. Dry the Flowers
Pat them dry and allow to air dry for at least 2 weeks. This step prevents mold and ensures your oil stays fresh.
5. Add Oil
Place the dried flowers in a clean jar. Pour in your favorite carrier oil (olive, jojoba, or sweet almond oil) until the flowers are completely submerged.
6. Infuse
Let the mixture sit for 2–6 weeks in a warm, sunny window. Shake occasionally. When ready, strain and store the golden oil in a dark glass bottle.
