Ingredients
- 1 c. peanut oil
- 1/2 c. sweet orange oil
- 1/2 c. dry chamomile flowers
- 1/2 c. dry nettle leaves
- 1/2 c. dry pennyroyal
- 1/4 c. sweet basil
- 1 tsp boric acid
Directions
- Place all ingredients into double boiler. Press and mash herbs down into the oil. Heat for 1/2 to 1 hour, till oils are very warm. Cover with lid, turn off heat, and remove to heatproof surface. Set aside to cold.
- Strain all herbs and oil through cheesecloth into container. Seal tightly. Use sparingly. To prevent oils from turning rancid, store in the refrigerator.
- All ingredients are available at health food stores. This is a much better smelling alternative to commercial sprays, and it is also very effective.
