Medicinal Herb Oils

Throughout the centuries, people have experimented with a variety of remedies to soothe all kinds of minor irritations such as athlete's foot and bruises. As it turns out, numerous plants contain healing compounds that provide exactly the relief needed. In fact, a significant number of over-the-counter topical drugs rely on medicinal herbs for their pain-relieving, healing and soothing effects.

The active constituents of the topical herbs are absorbed through the skin for a more immediate and targeted effect.

Oregon's Wild Harvest manufactures herbal oils using certified organic olive oil without the use of artificial additives and preservatives. We begin with freshly gathered certified organic or wildcrafted herbs, and carefully infuse them with olive oil using a special heat extraction to gently encourage infusion. Vitamin E oil is added as a preservative and antioxidant.

These herbal oils are not essential oils but have a multitude of therapeutic uses, each with deep color and intense aroma that cannot be rivaled. They may be added directly to the skin (topically) or to the bath. They can even be diluted in carrier oils to make massage oils. Many people who wish to avoid many of the chemicals that are added to commercial topical products make or buy their own cream bases and add these oils to these carriers to create a cream that is not only pure and aromatic, but is also functional.
