HOW TO MAKE FENUGREEK OIL AT HOME
INGREDIENTS
Fenugreek Seed
Olive oil or any carrier oil of your choice.
PREPARATION: Put fenugreek seeds into a glass
jar. Get out a clean jar that’s sealable and pour in
at least enough fenugreek seeds to cover the
bottom.
Pour in enough oil to cover the seeds. You can use
your favorite natural oil, such as olive, coconut,
grapeseed, jojoba, or apricot oil. If you’re going to
use the fenugreek oil on your skin or hair, try to
match the oil for your skin’s condition. For
example, if you have dry skin, use an extra-moisturiz
ing oil, such as almond or avocado oil. If you have
oily skin or hair, try hemp seed or apricot oil, for
instance.
Seal the jar and leave it at room temperature for 3
to 6 weeks. Place the jar in your pantry or
windowsill and leave the oil to infuse. You can
shake the jar once a day to help the mixture steep
evenly.
The oil will become stronger and darker the longer
it infuses.
Strain the fenugreek oil through cheesecloth. Set a
fine-mesh strainer over a bowl or measuring jug
and lay a few pieces of cheesecloth in the strainer.
Open the jar of fenugreek oil and slowly pour it into
the strainer.
Throw out the fenugreek seeds that are left in the
cheesecloth.
Pour it into a clean bottle and refrigerate the oil for
up to 1 month. Remove the strainer with the
cheesecloth and slowly pour the fenugreek oil into a
new storage container. Then, screw the lid on tight
and place the oil in the refrigerator.
Please Note: It’s important to store the fenugreek
oil out of direct sunlight and away from heat since
these can make the oil become rancid or highly
unpleasant.
