Street Chamomile | Make your own oil | Natural skin care
This plant that seems so insignificant where it grows along the sidewalks. But if you pick the flower and crush it between your fingers, you will smell a lovely scent of pineapple. That is also the name of the plant “pineapple weed” in English. Let's take advantage of this modest flower and make an oil with a pineapple scent!
DO THIS:
Pick the flowers and place them in a jar. Pour in oil to cover the blossoms. Use a fragrance-free oil; almond oil or deodorized rapeseed oil are suitable here.
Strain out the street chamomile after a day.
If you keep the flowers in for longer, the oil will probably go bad; many fresh plants contain too much water to last long in oil.
Pour your fine oil into a small bottle.
