Re: Help Making Wet Potions

These are all great, thank you!
So what oils should I use in case I DON'T want to ingest the potion?
And what is the difference between a tincture and a potion?

In my experience, all oils can be safely blended into water simply by adding the oil to the water in a jar or whatever and shaking it up. This is how I make bug repellent for the kitchen cabinets. Since essential oils are so strong, you don't need to use that much. I've found that a cup of water becomes somewhat heavily scented by a mere four drops of oil.
The term "potion" usually refers to water-based infusions and tisanes, but I've seen it used in reference to many types of herbal preparations, including tinctures, oil blends, and even dry products such as incenses and powders.
