Herbal Shampoo

[Guest guest]

a very simple natural shampoo can be made with dried

Soapwort (Saponaria)

You need approximately:

1 oz of dried soapwort

1 to 1 1/2 pts of water (pure/spring/distilled)

1 oz herbs of choice (based on what type of shampoo-see * note below)

Put boiling water on the dried soapwort and soak overnight.

Bring mixture to boil (in an enamel pan) and simmer, covered

for about 15-20 minutes. Stir in herbs, and store it, covered,

until it is cool enough to use. Strain before using.

* Note: choose one or combination of herbs for properties desired.

Examples:

Marsh mallow is used for dry hair

Peppermint/Lavender used for oily hair

Marigold/Calendula for red hair

etc., etc., and so forth and so on and on and on
