Happy Sunny Oil

Dandelions blossoms growing by my echinacea

I just finished making dandelion oil. This is a wonderful happy sunny event. Let me share my old herbal journal notes:

May 5, 2007: Put fresh dandelion blossoms in safflower oil, in crockpot for maybe five hours. (I forgot it there. It was a tiny tiny tiny bit roasted. Usually I do four hours max.) This is my first dandelion flower oil. Rubbed it on sore back, and it really helped. (Dear reader, I underlined “really” three times!) My back feels a lot better. (“Lot” was underlined three times.) … Just took bath, then covered whole body with dandelion flower oil. Body feels good. (“Good” underlined three times.) This oil = health. I’m in love with dandelion flowers. (I underlined love.)

Here is a blog from last spring, about dandelion: https://www.outlawbunny.com/2012/04/20/dandelion-blossoms/

Gathering blossoms. Some are growing by my chives.

This year, I infused the flowers in olive oil, which I prefer for healing.

Ok, I put off using my new batch of oil long enough. I am gonna go rub it on my feet now. My feet do not hurt. I just want them to be really happy.

Herbs may be natural but they are also powerful, and act differently on each person. So do your research. All that said, herbs have saved my life, make my life joyful, and are my close friends. I live immersed in them.
