oil to help relieve pain

NEVER INTAKE ANY OILS, POTIONS, OR MIXTURES OF ANY KIND UNLESS YOU ARE 100% SURE THAT IT IS SAFE AND MEANT TO BE INTOOK!

I made this oil last night during the full moon. This oil is to help soothe aching muscles. It works best for aches and dull pains, not sharp pains like cuts or scrapes. For this oil I decided to use the solar method where I let it steep in a windowsill where the sun can reach it for two to three weeks, but you could also use the stove top method where you get two pots. Fill the first pot with water and then place the second pot inside of the first. You will put the oil in the second pot. Now, let the water come to a low boil and then let it sit for 30-60 minutes and then store it in an air tight container in somepalce where not a lot of sunlight can reach it.

Okay, here is the recipe for the oil. The mesurments are rough, I didn't measure very carefully.

Step 1: Get a base oil, this can be anything from olive oil, vegetable oil, penut oil, etc. I wouldn't reccomend olive oil because it is expensive, vegetable oil is pretty cheap, that is what I use.

Step 2: Add the measurment of each herb for every cup of oil. 2 TBSP of chamomile leaves, 1 TBSP of catnip leaves, 1 TBSP of spearmint or peppermint or both, 2 tsp of ground ginger, and I also added about 2 TBSP of herbs from a Tazo tea packet. The herbs inside were spearmint, peppermint, blackberry leaves, chamomile, rose petals, hibiscus flowers, lemon balm, safflowers, sasparilla, and licorice root. Just mix all this up with a mortar and pestel, add it to the oil, stir. If you are using the solar method then let it sit in a clear, air tight container for 2-3 weeks, and if you are using the stove top method then let the water in the first pot simmer for 30-60 minutes.

Step 3: If you chose to use the solar method, then once you have waited for 2-3 weeks then you can take the oil away from the windowsill and use it. Now, you might want to strain the oil and get all the herbs out, but you don't have to, some people just prefere it without the herbs.
If you chose to use the stove top method then you can turn off your burner, pour the oil from the second pot into an air tight container. You may strain the herbs, but you don't have to.

Step 4: Enjoy your oil, BUT DO NOT INTAKE IT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM!!!!!!!!!!!
