STEP 1: Prepare your infused olive oil first! Combine 1 cup Arnica Montana flowers, 1/2 cup Comfrey leaves, & 1/4 cup White Willow Bark in a wide mouth mason jar. Cover with Extra Virgin Olive Oil or carrier oil of choice (there should be enough olive oil to cover the dried herbs by 1 inch).

You can prepare your infusion a few different ways: Warm Infusion (takes approx. 4-6 weeks). Tightly cover your jar of dried herbs & oil & place in a dark location such as a cupboard. Allow to sit for 4-6 weeks, gently shaking or stirring the jar every few weeks.

Once 4-6 weeks has passed, line a wire strainer with muslin cloth & pour the mixture through the cloth into a second jar.

Squeeze the muslin cloth tightly to strain the herbs of as much oil as properly (once fully strained the herbs can be thrown away). Place the lid on the second jar with the infused oil & label with the date, type of oil, & type of herbs.
