Thank you for the valuable information I made infused oil with sun flower oil and dried rosemary to use it on my scalp and hair only. Is it safe to use ?
Hi Dr Leo, I have never done the infusion. I see that usually people use dry herbs rather than the fresh ones. May I know if such procedure applies to dry herbs as well?
Dry herbs has lower change to be contaminated than fresh ones. However fresh herbs are often used to make infused oil for example garlic. Also pesto is normally made with fresh herbs. If the prepared products were not stored correctly this would encourage growth of the bacteria and the bacteria will cause problems when people consume them.
@LeTimeLeo What is the safety procedure recommended for oil infusion using dry plants. I might want to make a canlendula infused oil using dried flowers.
Based on the Idaho study, the four herbs concerned of food poisoning are fresh garlic, rosemary, basil and oregano. Watch this video for guidance of making calendula infused oil for external use. th-cam.com/video/wGp4c8k2_oY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ftUYO5kbHL9mB1Zh
Thank you 😊 💓. Outside is fine, but I don't have a preference.

Be careful with infused oils! Improperly prepped herbs can lead to serious health risks. Safety first
