cvetovi zove
kanadska zutika
rastavic
koren belog sleza
cvetovi ruze
hajducka trava

Kada koristiti koje biljke?
Neven se najcesce koristi kod opekotina od sunca, svraba, osipa, upala i rana koje se sporo zarastaju.
Bokvica podstice obnovu tkiva.
Misjakinja se moze koristiti za ublazavanje manjih opekotina i stanja koze kao sto su psorijaza i ekcem.
Kamilica i lavanda umiruju i deluju protiv gljivica.
Gavez se moze koristiti kod manjih opekotina, osipa i uboda insekata, ALI treba ih koristiti s oprezom na otvorenim ranama zbog pirolizidinskih alkaloida.
Divizma list za lecenje zapaljenja pluca, astme, kaslja, bolesti ociju, usiju, kostobolje i reume.
Gde da koristite biljno infuzirano ulje?
Biljno infuzirano ulje moze se upotrebiti za pravljenje ulja za masazu, balzama ili masti, proizvoda za lice i kosu, kreme za telo i kozu, sapuna, losione, za sredstva protiv komaraca, ulja za kupanje, sampona i maski za kosu.
Saveti:
1) Bolje je koristiti suve biljke. Pre nego sto ih potopite u ulje malo ih usitnite u avanu, ali ne previse jer nece moci da se iscede kroz gazu.
2) Ako koristite sveze biljke morate da ih ostavite 12 sati da se sparuse i da se dobro osuse inace ce vam uzegnuti ulje. Nakon toga isecite ih makazama na sitnije komade da bi izvukli sto vise dobrih svojstava iz njih.
3) Kako bi sprecili uzeglost ulja i eventualno stvaranje budi mozete dodati vitamin E ulje, 1% na kolicinu ulja.
4) Ako infuzirate bilje sporijim metodom a sunce je veoma jako ili je direktno na vasu teglu mozete staviti braon papirnu kesu preko tegle da vam ne izgori bilje.
5) Ako infuzirate bilje brzim metodom obavezno se pridrzavajte temperature navedene u receptu (do 38 do 60 C) da vam ne bi izgorelo bilje.
6) Kad sipate bilje u teglu obavezno ostavite 5 cm prazno da prelijete sa uljem tih 5 cm posto bilje upija ulje. Ako je potrebno dodajte jos ulja jer bilje mora biti potpuno prekriveno uljem. Ako stavljate bilje u vatrostalnu posudu takodje prelijet ulje u visini od 5 cm preko bilja. I ako je potrebno jos dodajte ulja.
7) Uobicajeno je da vam neke delovi biljaka plove po vrhu posle upijanja ulja - ako pocnu da se budjave, izvadite i bacite ih.
8) Nakon cedjenja kroz gazu ostavite ulje da stoji od 2 do 3 sata, a mozete i od 12 do 24 sata, da se sakupe sitne cestice biljaka na dnu pa ponovo procedite kroz filter za kafu.
9) Prvo osusite biljke pa ih onda iseckajte.
10) Kod sporog procesa kad napunite teglu bilje i prelijete ulje stavite gazu i preko gumicu da izadje vlaznost ako je ima i da vam ne upadaju bube i prasina.

How do you know how many herbs you need in relation to oil?
You can use herbs - oil in 1: 5 ratio or 1:10 ratio. For example, 25g herbs and 125ml oil or 25g herbs and 250ml oil.
Ingredients: herbs (dry or fresh), oil (soybean, sunflower, rice grain, jojoba, castor, olive, coconut, sweet almond, avocado, saffron, hemp, apricot kernel, grape seed).
Preparation:
1) Put the herbs in the jar but leave 3 to 4 cm empty.

Quick method - by heating the oil
Ingredients: herbs (dry or fresh), oil (soybeans, sunflowers, rice grains, jojoba, castor, olives, coconut, sweet almond, avocados, safran, hemp, apricot kernel, grape seed).

Note: if you are using coconut oil, melt it in medium-low heat on the same principle - two saucepan and bowl on top of each other.
2) Heat the herbs at low temperature, between 38 and 60 C for 3 to 5 hours (depending on the strength you want).
Note: though if you cook for a long time you will not overdo it, because to get the same as in the slow process, it actually has to be cooked for 48 to 72 hours at 38 C.
3) Allow to cool.
4) Put a strainer in the saucepan and gauze in the strainer. Pour in oil. Wrap and drain the herbs.
5) Pour into dark glass sterilized bottles or jars. Close and mark bottles or jars (date, oil and herbs).

In the oven
Ingredients: dried herbs, oil.
Preparation:
1) Put the plants in a fireproof bowl. Stir if using multiple herbs.
2) Add oil. Soak the plants in oil as much as possible.
3) Preheat the oven to 150 C and switch off.
4) Put the ovenproof bowl in the oven and leave for 4 hours and even better over night.
5) Remove from oven. Put a strainer in the bowl and gauze in the strainer. Pour. Twist the gauze to drain the oil.
Spices in the oil

The plantain stimulates tissue regeneration.
Chickweed can be used to relieve minor burns and skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.
Chamomile and lavender are soothing and antifungal.
Comfrey can be used for minor burns, rashes and insect bites, BUT should be used with caution in open wounds due to pyrrolizidine alkaloids.
Mullein for the treatment of pneumonia, asthma, coughs, diseases of the eye, ears, gout (bone pain) and rheumatism.
Where to use herb infused oils?
Herbal infused oils can be used to make massage oils, balms or ointments, face and hair products, body and skin creams, soaps, lotions, mosquito repellents, bath oils, shampoos and hair masks.
Tips:
1) It is better to use dry herbs. Before submerging them in oil, grind them a little in the mortar and pestle, but not too much as they will not be able to drain through the gauze.
2) If you use fresh herbs, leave them to dry for 12 hours and pat dry properly, otherwise your oil will burn. Then cut them into smaller pieces to extract as many good properties as possible
3) To prevent oil rancidity and eventual formation of mold, you can add Vitamin E oil, 1% to the amount of oil.
4) If you infuse the herbs with a slower method and the sun is very strong or directly on your jar, you can put a brown paper bag over the jar to prevent your plants from burning.
5) If you are infusing herbs with the fast method, be sure to adhere to the temperatures indicated in the recipe (up to 38 to 60 C) so that your herbs do not burn.
6) When placing herbs into a jar, be sure to leave 5 cm empty to pour over the oil, 5 cm because the plants absorb the oil. If necessary, add more oil as the herbs must be completely covered with oil. If you are putting herbs in a oven proof dish, also pour oil 5 cm high over the herbs. And if necessary, add more oils.
7) It is common for some parts of the plants to float to the top after absorbing the oil - if they start to mold, remove and discard them.
8) After squeezing through the gauze, leave the oil standing for 2 to 3 hours, and you can leave for 12 to 24 hours, collecting small particles of plants at the bottom, and then drain through the coffee filter.
9) First leave the plants to wilt then pat dry them if needed and then chop them.
10) In the slow process, when filling the jar and pouring the oil, apply gauze over the jar to allow moisture to escape, if any, and to avoid bugs and dust
Mix of herbs and oils
Mix 1 - if you mix hops, lavender and chamomile flowers and infuse them with jojoba oil, you will get a massage oil.
Mix 2 - rosemary infused in oil is good for hydrating hair as a mask.
Mix 3 - for hair growth - 250 ml of olive oil, 250ml of hemp oil and 250ml of saffron oil, 4 tbsp of herb mixe: camomile flowers, linda barones flowers, Baikal skullcap (scutellaria baicalensis) flowers, catnip, wild lettuce (lactuca virosa), calendula flowers.
Mix 4 - apricot kernel oil, grape seed oil, sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, plantain leaves and mullein flowers.
Mix 5 - witch hazel as a face toner instead of oil with calendula flowers.
Mix 6 - plantain and lavender flowers in apple cider vinegar instead of alcohol. Slow process. For bug bites like spray or roll-on.
