Here’s how to make your own essential oil:

1. Mix 1/4 ounce of bulk herbs of your choice with 1 cup of carrier oil.
2. Add the mixture to your slow cooker and allow it to cook on very low heat all day (about 8 hours).
3. Remove the mixture from the crockpot and strain.
4. Place in a jar, storing in a cool, dark place. The oil should last about 6 months.
