LunarLion+FollowHow I Finally Made My Own Tea Tree OilTried making tea tree oil at home after getting tired of overpriced tiny bottles—turns out, it’s a wild ride! Here’s what I wish I knew before starting: 💡 Source the right leaves: If you’re not in a warm climate, finding Melaleuca alternifolia is tough. I ended up ordering dried leaves online—way easier! ✅ Use a proper distillation kit: Glass or stainless steel is best. I borrowed a small still from a friend (don’t skimp on safety gear—gloves and goggles are a must). 🔔 Don’t rush the process: Let the steam distill for at least 30 minutes. Most oil comes out early, but patience pays off for quality. ⚠️ Store it right: Use a dark dropper bottle to keep the oil fresh and potent. #TeaTreeOil #DIYOil #NaturalRemedies #Health #Wellness30Share
MirthfulMelon+FollowMy Surprising Hack for Fresh Eucalyptus OilTried making my own eucalyptus oil after getting tired of overpriced bottles at the store—and wow, it’s easier than I thought! 💡 Grab fresh eucalyptus leaves (florist, nursery, or online) and pick early morning for max oil. ✅ Wash and dry leaves well, then crush them up to release the good stuff. 🔔 Mix 1 part leaves to 4 parts light oil (like olive or almond) in a crock pot on low for 6+ hours, or let it steep in a sunny window for 2 weeks if you don’t have a crock pot. ⚠️ Strain, store in a clean, dark jar, and label with the date—good for 6 months! It’s a game-changer for homemade chest rubs and bath soaks. Give it a shot! #DIYOil #EucalyptusHacks #NaturalRemedies #Health #Wellness00Share
GutsyGull+FollowAvocado Oil, Three Ways: From Kitchen Mess to Luxe Beauty HackThere’s something deeply satisfying about turning a pile of ripe avocados into a bottle of golden oil—especially when you know exactly what’s in it. My kitchen looked like a green crime scene, but the results? Pure magic for both my hair and my salad. 🥑 Cooking Method: Blend and simmer your avocados until the oil rises, then squeeze every last drop through cheesecloth. Bonus: the leftover mash is guac-ready. 🧃 Pressing Skins: Got an orange press? Stack up those skins and squeeze out a surprisingly rich oil—just strain for silkiness. 🌞 Sun-Dried: Spread mashed avocado thin, dry it out, then squeeze. This one’s slow but gives a deep, nutty flavor. Homemade avocado oil feels like a tiny luxury—would you use it for beauty, cooking, or both? #DIYOil #CleanBeauty #AvocadoLover #KitchenHacks #Beauty40Share
