Infusion, a wonderful process

Infused Eucalyptus Oil
Starting oils and tinctures is a wonderful process to watch and observe. In my living room, I have one tincture and three oils that feel so good to walk by them. When I do, I give them a shake to assist with infusing the oil with the medicinal qualities of her herb.
To the right, I have an infused eucalyptus oil working. This is an oil that will be a base for a respiratory-support salve. A friend of mine works with essential oils as I work with herbs. I have been a customer of hers for almost 4 years and I purchase an essential oil blend she calls Resp-ease. I am an asthmatic and my peak asthma season is between the end of November and the beginning of March, give or take. I put her oil blend into a bottle with a spray-pump and put a spritz on my chest as I walk out of the shower in the morning and let that soak in. This 2009-2010 year, during my usual peak asthma season, I rarely had to reach for my inhaler.
I am making this oil into a salve or a liniment to allow others to rub into their chest, neck and allow this essential oil blend to work for them.
