Hey Ladyfire,

 

I would suggest going on " www.susunweed.com " and punching

in " Infused Oils " to the search-engine part....you might find some

interesting and unexpected uses for those herbs-soaking-in-oil. I

use Dandelion blossom oil, and St. John's Wort oil for massage, and

painful tension in muscles....they are quite medicinal, but are not

essential oils. They are safer, and easier to use in my personal

opinion. You can even take them internally, with no harm to

yourself. They are very easy to make too....there are so many

things they can be used for!

 

The website is huge, you may really enjoy it. It's one of my

favorites.

 

Making essential oils from scratch is a very involved, somewhat

complex process that requires specific equipment. It is completely

different from herbs in oil, or vodka. Herbs in vodka would be

tinctures, in my opinion...a whole other subject you could get into

on the same site.

 

For the bugs in the house...I've heard that bunches of Tansy hung

above or at doorways keeps flies at bay....

 

Hope that helps!

Don't know if anyone has answered your question yet or not (am in the middle of checking a couple days worth of email) but these are what's known as infused oils. They work for lots of great things. Unfortunately though, they are not true essential oils.
