Method

Infusion and blending

Prepare workspace and tools

Sterilize a small glass jar with a tight-fitting lid (about 8 oz/240 ml) and any measuring utensils by rinsing with hot water and letting dry on a clean towel. Gather a small funnel and a clean spoon or small whisk.

Combine base oils

In the sterilized jar, pour 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil and add 2 tablespoons black seed oil. Swirl gently to combine until the oils are homogenous.

Add active botanicals and balancing agents

Add 1 teaspoon oil of oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic extract, 1 teaspoon raw honey, and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice to the jar. Note: if your oregano is a concentrated essential oil, use no more than 3–5 drops (approx. 1/8–1/4 tsp equivalent) — this recipe assumes a properly diluted oregano oil or an infused oil labeled for internal use.

Add optional supports

If using, add 1 teaspoon ground turmeric and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. The black pepper increases curcumin absorption; turmeric adds an anti-inflammatory component.

Emulsify and rest

Seal the jar and shake vigorously for 30–45 seconds to fully incorporate honey and lemon into the oil. Let the mixture rest at room temperature for 15–30 minutes, then give another quick shake. If honey doesn’t fully incorporate, stir with a small whisk or spoon until smooth.

Storage and use

Store the jar in a cool, dark place (cupboard) for up to 2–3 weeks. Refrigeration will thicken the oil; bring to room temperature and shake before use. Discard if you notice off odors, cloudiness beyond the normal oil appearance, or visible mold.

Dosage and serving suggestion: Take 1 teaspoon daily as a wellness oil, either straight or mixed into a small amount of warm water, tea, or blended into a dressing. For stronger acute use, up to 1 tablespoon daily may be taken for short periods (consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, nursing, on medication, or with chronic conditions).

Cooking note: This blend can be used as a finishing oil for salads, soups, or roasted vegetables — do not use for high-heat cooking as the beneficial compounds may degrade.
