2 cups (473 ml) distilled water

1 tablespoon (15 ml) calendula (pot marigold)

2 teaspoons (10 ml) rosemary

1 tablespoon (15 ml) nettle

2 teaspoons (10 ml) orange peel

2 teaspoons (10 ml) comfrey

2 tablespoons (30 ml) chamomile

1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) essential oil of lavender

1 teaspoon (5 ml) jojoba oil (omit if hair is oily)

1/2 cup (118 ml) all-natural, gentle baby shampoo

Bring water to a boil and remove from heat. Add the herbs, cover, and

allow to steep for 30 minutes. Strain mixture into a medium-sized

bowl, add the oils and stir vigorously. Add the shampoo and gently

stir until thoroughly mixed. Pour into a labeled bottle and keep

refrigerated to preserve the freshness. You may keep a small bottle

in the shower with enough shampoo for about one week, if you wish.

Use approximately 1 tablespoon (15 ml) per application. This shampoo

will not produce mountains of billowy suds as it does not contain

strong foaming agents. It cleans gently with minimal sudsing.

Note: Before use, lightly shake shampoo to mix the oil that may

separate from the rest of the ingredients
