Our process: Herbal oils

Article Summary

Every Jera blend begins with herbal oils. Herbal oils are made by soaking dried plant material in nourishing carrier oils. A traditional process, solar infusion, requires time and patience. Less potent that essential oils, herbal oils are a safer alternative for expecting mothers and children. 

As part of our commitment to transparency, we wanted to shed some light on our unique process. 

Every Jera blend begins with herbal oils. We prepare our herbal oils using a process called solar infusion. A traditional method, soaking herbs with gentle heat, softens the plant's structure, releasing the medicinal compounds into the carrier oil. When combined with essential oils, herbal oils can elevate the blend's healing potential and overall experience. 

Solar infusion demands time and patience. We leave our infusions to bathe under the gentle light of the sun for several weeks. This ways helps to preserve the innate spirit and quality of our ingredients. 

Herbal oils are generally considered a safe and gentle alternative for expecting mothers, infants, and children too. Unlike crude extracts and essential oils, herbal oils do not require dilution and can be used directly on the skin with lesser risk of irritation.
