Instructions
Slow Infusion:
Add one part of dried herb to three parts of oil. For example, 1/4 cup of dried herb with 3/4 cup of oil.
Place the dried herb in a clean jar. Top with carrier oil of choice. Make sure all the herbs are covered. Mix well and place in a cool dry place.
Allow the oil to infuse for 4-6 weeks. Shake the jar a few times a week to mix the herbs with the oil.

Quick Infusion:
Add one part of dried herb to three parts of oil.
Place the dried herb in a clean jar. Top with carrier oil of choice. Make sure all the herbs are covered with the oil.
Fill a medium pot with water and turn onto a simmer. Place a canning jar lid at the bottom of the pot. Add the jar of oregano and oil to the pot, placing it on top of the lid, to ensure the jar doesn’t touch the bottom of the pot.
Simmer on very low for 8-10 hours. Add water as needed.
Turn the heat off and let the pot cool.
Remove the jar from the pot and strain the herb from the oil with a fine mesh strainer.
