😀 Jasmine Oil is normally processed this way as it takes so many thousand flowers to yield a little oil. This method is called “enfleurage” 🙂

Very interesting. I never knew that. Jasmine is a very light scent so I’m not surprised it takes so many flowers. I’m a big tea person so when I looked up how to make essential oils I found it was a very similar process to making iced tea only with oil. You put more herb in if you want a strong “brew” so to speak instead of letting the same herbs “steep” longer.

yes exactly, a tincture of sorts 🙂

Yeah. I was surprised how simple the process actually was to me but maybe that is because of my experience with tea.

old things are always simple, but I am sure your tea made your more aware 🙂

It is so true that old things are always simple. Maybe that’s why I love more things rooted in ancient tradition. I think in this modern day of fast and complex things we need to slow down and things like creating our own oils can help us do that.

exactly 🙂 just make sure you know the properties of the oils first, like which one make you sleep and which ones make you wide awake 🙂 lol

Yes. I do know most of them and can look them up if needed. I have been reading up on this stuff pretty much since I started up with paganism which was about 9 years ago. There is still so much to learn too!
