🌼 How to Make Dandelion Oil
Ingredients:
✔ Fresh dandelion flowers (about 2 cups, fully dried)
✔ Carrier oil (olive oil, coconut oil, or sweet almond oil – about 1-2 cups)
✔ A clean, dry glass jar with a lid
🌀 Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Pick & Dry the Dandelion Flowers
- Collect fresh dandelion flowers from a pesticide-free area.
- Spread them out on a towel in a warm, dry place for 24-48 hours to remove moisture (prevents mold during infusion).
2️⃣ Fill a Jar with Dandelions & Oil
- Place the dried dandelion flowers into a clean, dry glass jar.
- Pour in the carrier oil until the flowers are fully submerged.
3️⃣ Infuse the Oil (Two Methods)
🌞 Slow Sun-Infusion Method (Best for Retaining Nutrients)
- Cover the jar with a lid and place it in a sunny window for 2-4 weeks.
- Shake the jar gently every day.
🔥 Quick Heat-Infusion Method (If You Need It Sooner)
- Place the jar in a double boiler over low heat for 2-3 hours (DO NOT overheat!).
4️⃣ Strain & Store
- Strain the oil through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into a clean jar or bottle.
- Store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
🌿 How to Use Dandelion Oil
💛 Massage Oil – Apply to sore muscles or stiff joints for pain relief.
💛 Moisturizer – Rub on dry skin, eczema, or irritated areas.
💛 Hair Treatment – Use a few drops on dry scalp or ends for nourishment.
💛 DIY Salves & Balms – Mix with beeswax to create a healing balm.
💡 Final Tip!

Now you can make and use your own dandelion oil for natural healing and self-care! 🌿✨
