DIY Lavender Oil: Create Your Own Calming Essence At Home In 7 Steps

1.

Gather all the essential ingredients, which include fresh or dried lavender flower, carrier oil, a glass jar, strainer, or a cheesecloth.

2.

If you are using fresh lavender, let it dry under the sun for a few days. Also, remove the buds from the stems as they hold the most essential oil.

3.

Now, take a jar and fill half of the jar with the lavender buds, leaving space for carrier oil.

4.

Then, pour the lavender oil carefully into the lavender buds jar, ensuring that the buds are fully submerged with the oil, and then stir it gently.

5.

Close the jar tightly and store it for 2-3 weeks until the mixture infuses completely. Keep shaking it in two or three days.

6.

After 2-3 weeks, strain the oil through the cheesecloth to remove the lavender buds.

7.

Transfer this oil into a clean jar and store it or use it in a diffuser for aroma, skin care, or as a relaxing massage oil.
