Herbal Recipes

As you may have already guessed, this page belongs to me, Raven. I will be posting some of my favorite herbal remedies as well as tips and hints that I have found to be useful. If you require more information on any of the listed recipes, please feel free to e-mail me personally at

Scented Stones

1 Cup SEA SALT
1 Cup unsifted FLOUR
3/4 Teaspoon ESSENTIAL OIL
Food Coloring, as desired
1/2 Cup VERY HOT (not boiling) WATER

Mix all ingredients together to form a very stiff dough. Add food coloring to tint, if desired. You may add UP TO 1/3 cup additional water of needed.
At this point you have several options. One is to roll the dough out into very thin 1/4 inch sheets and cut out very small shapes OR roll into very small "stones". Allow to air dry for at least 5 days and then add to potpourri or set out in glass containers.
As the scent fades, add more essential oils, drop by drop until the scent is to your liking.

Herbal Bath

2 Ounces LAVENDAR BUDS
1 Ounce YARROW FLOWERS
1 Ounce PEPPERMINT
1 Ounce THYME

Mix all ingredients together well, slightly crushing the flowers to release their fragrance. Place in muslin bath bags, using one per bath. This mix may be stored in an airtight container and used as needed.

Spray Disinfectant

16 Ounces DISTILLED WATER
2 Tablespoons LIQUID SOAP (like Dial)
3 Teaspoons TEA TREE OIL

Mix ingredients as follows in a spray bottle. Add the water and the Tea Tree Oil to the bottle first, then add the soap (this prevents the soap from making bubbles as you add the water). Shake well before each use. It works well for cleaning up countertops and most any hard, non-porus surface. If in doubt, test on an inconspicous area first.

Lavendar Water

2 Cup LAVENDAR FLOWERS
1/2 Cup ETHYL ALCOHOL
( I like Everclear, it can be found at most liquor stores)
1/2 to 1 Cup DISTILLED WATER
2 Teaspoons GLYCERINE

Grind the lavendar flowers slightly with a mortar and pestle. Place in a 2 quart glass screw top jar. Add the Everclear and shake vigorously. Fill the remaining space with the distilled water. Leave in a sunny, warm place for a minimum of 7 days, shaking several times daily. As the color of the flowers fade and sink to the bottom of the jar, add more lavendar to strengthen the scent. When satisfied with the scent, strain thru very fine cheesecloth. Add the glycerine, shake well, and store the finished Lavendar Water in dark glass bottles.

Hand Sanitizer

1 Cup PURE ALOE VERA GEL
1/4 Cup RUBBING ALCOHOL
2 Teaspoons GLYCERINE
1/2 Teaspoon TEA TREE OIL

In a glass bowl, mix the aloe vera and alcohol very well. When it has been blended, add the glycerine and stir very well. Add the tea tree oil 1/4 teaspoon at a time and test the scent. I prefer the smell of tea tree versus alcohol, so I use the full 1/2 teaspoon, sometimes more. Store in a pump-squirt bottle and use as needed.

Lemon-Lime After Bath Splash

10 Drops Lemon essential oil
10 Drops Lime essential oil
1 Teaspoon Glycerin
1/2 Cup 100 proof Vodka (or Everclear)

Combine all ingredients in a bottle and shake well to blend. Lemon and lime peels may be added for looks. I like this in a spray bottle kept in the refrigerator, so when it's hot I have a nice refreshing spray to cool off with.

Silky Bath Powder

1/2 Cup Cornstarch
2 Tablespoons Arrowroot Powder
15 Drops of essential oil of choice

Mix arrowroot powder and cornstarch together well. Add essential oils and blend until smooth. Sift 3 to 4 times until no lumps are present. Apply with a large powder puff.

Chamomile & Sage Massage Oil

15 Drops Sage essential oil
15 Drops Chamomile essential oil
1/2 Cup Mineral Oil
1/4 Cup Castor Oil
1/4 Cup Sweet Almond Oil

Combine all ingredeints in a flip top bottle and shake to mix well. Warm slightly before use.

Orange & Tangerine Bath Soak

1/2 Cup Baking Soda
1/4 Cup Epsom Salt
1 Drop Red Food Coloring
1 Drop Yellow Food Coloring
15 Drops Orange essential oil
15 Drops Tangerine essential oil

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Run thru a food processor until it is a very fine powder. Keep in a tightly covered wide mouth jar. Add 1/2 cup to bath water.
