HERBAL SHAMPOO

List of Ingredients
2 cups (473 ml) distilled water
1 tablespoon (15 ml) calendula (pot marigold)
2 teaspoons (10 ml) rosemary
1 tablespoon (15 ml) nettle
2 teaspoons (10 ml) orange peel
2 teaspoons (10 ml) comfrey
2 tablespoons (30 ml) chamomile
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) essential oil of lavender
1 teaspoon (5 ml) Jojoba oil (omit if hair is oily)
1/2 cup (118 ml) all-natural, gentle baby shampoo
Recipe
Bring water to a boil and remove from heat. Add the
herbs, cover, and allow to steep for 30 minutes.
Strain mixture into a medium-sized bowl, add the oils
and stir vigorously. Add the shampoo and gently stir
until thoroughly mixed. Pour into a labeled bottle and
keep refrigerated to preserve the freshness. You may
keep a small bottle in the shower with enough shampoo
for about one week, if you wish. Use approximately 1
tablespoon per application. This shampoo will not
produce mountains of billowy suds as it does not
contain strong foaming agents. It cleans gently with
minimal sudsing. Before use, lightly shake shampoo to
mix the oil that may separate from the rest of the
ingredients.
