2 cups Peanut Oil, Olive Oil, or Almond oil
1 Tbsp Hydrous Lanolin
1 Tbsp Vitamin E Oil
1 Tbsp dried Lavender Flower
1 Tbsp dried Rose Petals
1 Tbsp dried Chamomile Flower
3 Tbsp dried Rosemary Flower
1/4 tsp tincture of Benzoin
Fill jar loosely with the herbs. Slowly pour benzoin tincture over herbs
and then add the oil. Make sure all of the air bubbles are out. Fill oil
to within an inch of the top of the jar. Close the jar. In summer, put
this jar in the sun for about five days. In the winter, place the jar in
the sun for fifteen days. Shake each day.
At the end of the allotted time, during the very hot part of the day,
slowly drizzle the oil through a fine mesh strainer into a funnel at the
mouth of a small, sterilized bottle. Press the herbs as you go along.
Repeat the straining process until the oil is free of herbs.
The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one.

How to relax
(very nice to do before meditating or sleeping.... )
Chamomile is an oil/herb known to aid relaxation. A warm bath with chamomile oil and lavender oil mixed with sweet almond oil, and sipping on a cup of chamomile tea does wonders.....
