Servings: 1 days worth
Equipment
- 1 small saucepan
- 1 Hot plate
- 10 cotton wool pads
Ingredients
- 1 tsp Nettle leaf (dried)
- 1/4 tsp coconut oil
- 1 Tbsp hot boiled water
- 1/4 cup Oat milk
Instructions
- Combine the herbs, water, oil and milk in a small milk pan and put on medium heat. Gently warm (not boiling or simmering) for 20 minutes and then strain. Allow to cool a little before use.
- I like to soak cotton wool pads in the extract and then gently wipe it over my face and neck, applying generously. Then I lie back with a meditation playing, and cover the areas of application with a warm and moist hand towel. But you can also dip a face cloth into the extract and dab it on.
- Dry skin may fare better with more frequent applications.
