Kava Kava, Lavender & Rose Infused Massage Oil
Kava kava is an extraordinary herb for relieving deep tension and anxiety. A simple infused massage oil with kava, lavender, and rose promotes relaxation. Use infused oil as needed for muscle relief. Do not use for more than two weeks at a time.
- 1.5-2 cups sweet almond oil or other preferred base oil such as grapeseed
- .5 ounce ground kava kava
- .25 ounce dried lavender
- .25 ounce dried rose petals
- 35 drops lavender essential oil optional
- 35 drops clary sage essential oil optional
Place base oil and dried herbs in a pint jar with a tight fitting lid. Infuse in a warm spot for at least six weeks. If you would like your infused oil to be ready sooner, place the tightly lidded jar in a small crock pot with water up to the fill height of the jar. Infuse on warm for approximately 48 hours.
When infusion is complete, strain herbs from oil using several layers of cheesecloth or butter muslin, discarding spent herbs. When the infused oil is clear and perfectly strain, add essential oils if desired. Pour into a bottle for use and storage. Store in a cool spot out of direct sunlight.
