Q&A for How to Make Natural Herbal Oil

Yes, but you should remember two things. First, try any cream on a small part of your body to make sure you aren't sensitive to any of the ingredients. Secondly, you should be aware that the garlic will leave an odor you may not like. Consider either decreasing the amount of garlic or adding a few drops of a pleasantly-scented oil like lavender.

Your best bet is to try the different methods and see which works best for you. Rose hip can be sensitive to degradation, so try using a gentler method, like the sun method.

The "shelf-life"can vary depending on the ingredients, but you can make the oil last longer by storing it in a cool, dry place away from any sources of heat or light. Most people use brown or dark blue bottles that are tightly capped.

It depends on the herb and sometimes the intended use. Different parts of a plant can have different uses. For example, dandelion leaves are commonly used to support the kidneys, while the root is used to support the liver. Research each individual herb, and use the recommended plant and part of the plant for your purposes.

You can use any oil base that is edible. If you can use it in cooking or on a salad, it should work as a base. Keep in mind that many oils have a strong flavor that can overcome the flavor of your candy!
