Oil Extraction Method
Get a half
pint jar, pour in 1/2 C sea salt then add olive oil until it is even with the
top of the jar (you want as little air as possible after putting on the
lid). Shake the ingredients for a couple minutes to get it fully
mixed. Pour through a filter (I use a cone coffee filter) and let all of
the liquid drip out. You're done. Be sure to store it in a dark
colored container with a tight fitting lid. Some say wrapping it in aluminum
foil will work also. I use a cobalt blue bottle with a stopper cap.
This stuff is amazingly easy to make.

oil - some info
For the 2
years I've been making Live Oil (adding salt to oil), and then graduating to
making ointments and then to making Extreme Cream, I've done quite a bit of
research into various oils. Because I have a back ground in essential oils, my
appreciation of non-volatile oils has sky-rocketed due to this research.
Just think
how precious botanical oils are. They are the life-force of the plant. Yes,
it's true that many of the nutrients plants absorb are water based, but the
plant converts those nutrients into sustaining chemicals that are, for the most
part, oil based or bonded to a lipid. For instance, even minerals can bond to
lipids, but they themselves aren't oil-based substances. Oil based or oil-bound
man-made chemicals are the preferred manufacturing method because oil is
sustaining whereas water is fleeting and disappears quickly. This is why plant
based oils are incredibly precious as most of the plants resources are in their
oil.
When
choosing an oil to do the Live Oil process on, consider what you want to use
that oil for - consumption, topical or both? You can also blend your oils. Below
are some of the oils I have used and some descriptions of their benefits and
shelf life.
But first,
if you are interested in making a Live Oil for topical use, you may also be
interested in taking it one step further and to make an ointment. You can find
the recipe on my website:
http://pureessentialoilsforhealth.com/HOW-TO-MAKE-OINTMENTS.html
There are
many benefits to turning your Live Oil into an ointment. One is that using oil
on your skin is messy, whereas an ointment goes directly where you apply it. The
wax seems to hold the ORMUS in place so it doesn't 'dissipate' as easily. It
also seems to protect the oil from degenerating so you get maximum shelf life
from your Live Oil. Another benefit I appreciate with Live Oil ointments is
that there is a time-release benefit that can be felt by some people. It keeps
the oils in place and the benefits seem to be prolonged over using just plain
Live Oil.
RE: salt
choices
I have
never been overly concerned about potential harm from salt used in Live Oil
process because the salt does not dissolve. However, if you are concerned, then
stick with a bath-salt that is also used as a table salt. Generally speaking, the
salt must be damp or the ORMUS content is low or non-existent. For some
examples, check out:

Also, stay
away from fine grain salt as it is difficult to separate form the oil.
~~~ SOME
OILS ~~~
Black Seed -
(shelf life 2 yrs)
Excellent health oil for consumption, but controversial for topical
application. However,
there are certain conditions that I think using Black Seed topically might be
called for.
Camelina
oil (shelf life 2 years)
Deep color and strong odor and flavor. Nutritious for
people and animals like it. Because of color, does not make good topical
oil though it has great healing benefits.
Castor oil (shelf
life 2 years)
Excellent topical oil.
Coconut oil
2yrs
Melts at 76 degrees. max 100 degrees. GREAT Live Oil but needs to be summer temps. Many well
documented health benefits both for topical and internal use.
Evening Primrose Seed oil - 1 yr.
Common medicinal plant in
alcohol
withdrawal
ADD
acne
Alzheimer
& memory
arthritis
blood
pressure
breast
disease (fibrocystic)
cholesterol
eczema
infertility
& impotence
IBS
Lupus

lose
I began
taking twice the recommended amount of EPO and have been seeing significant
health benefits from it.
Grape seed
oil - 2years
AND
hemp seed
oil - 2yrs
Both Grape
Seed and Hemp oils have similar profiles and benefits. One can generally find
same research on one as on the other. Research includes:
acne
arthritis
blood
pressure
crohns disease
cardiovascular disease
cancer
cholesterol
circulation
gall
stones
kidney
disease
HIV
hormone
balance & menopause
Immune
deficiency
metabolism
& low energy
MS
osteoporosis
TB
Topically
heals skin, is anti-inflammatory & anti-oxidant.
Meadowfoam Seed oil - 2yrs.
Amazing topical benefits.
Plum Kernal oil - 2yrs
Sea
Buckthorn oil - 2yrs
Deep red or dark yellow in color. Too much color for most topical uses yet it has
great topical benefits. Tons of medical research for both
internal and external use. Recommended consumption 1 Tbl
/ day
Sesame oil - 2 yrs.
Light oil,
good for diet & topical. Another excellent health
oil. Light enough to be used for 'oil pulling'. High in copper and calcium and
I have witnessed ORMUS behavior in untreated (straight from the store) sesame
oil.
Soy oil - 2
yrs
High in
vitamin E and is great topical oil for healing. However, Argan
Oil is also high in vitamin E and seems to have many more health benefits both
topically and internally.
Sunflower oil - 2 yrs.
Highly nutritious. Light oil. absorbs easily. Also recommended for Oil Pulling.
Tamanu
oil - 2 yrs
Over-whelming evidence for topical application. Scars, anti-fungal, anti-biotic,
burns, EXCELLENT TOPICAL OIL
Happy
creating!
