can you strain herbs in oils with this?

I haven't tried it myself, but I don't see why not. It has to plates with different size holes and you control the pressure.

Works great for making your own propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin extractions.

Yes, I do all the time. I blend the coconut oil with essential oils for specific applications such as my 'stress relief', 'pain relief' and 'relaxation'. Works great.

Almost all essential oils except for maybe a few are external, and I mean external. You could get sick trying to digest that stuff. But if you want a version of this stuff to internally take then use herbs because they're made to digest in which they all come from plants. But due to the way they're extracted from the plant, and or the area of the plant it comes determines rather it's a herb or a essential oil.

Absolutely! The oils are pure and strong! A little dab will do ya! The smell can be so strong it can make you ill!

I don't believe you can use fragrance oils only essential oils. Fragrance oils will clog the device along with citrus essential oils.

Yes you can, I am using lemon, wild orange and breath (a blend of oils). I have not seen a problem yet. And yes I have seen those that you cannot use citrus oils, but so far so good.

You can, but be careful with that. The oils are strong and heating them can produce some very strong vapors. In other words, don't be sitting right under that oil burner breathing in the fumes that occur.

I would say you can with all EXCEPT lemongrass. That one burns a little when used topically. Be sure and use a quality oil like coconut make the blend smoother and not so harsh.

Absolutely. We use these oils to our massage cream at our salon for aroma therapy during massage. :)

Yes you can but you must add this to your massage oil because the lavender oil is very a concentrated. Thanks for asking

I'm not sure. I've never tried to use essential oils. You might be able to put a few drops in the water, but I would check with the manufacturer first.

I don't see why not I have used lavender essential oil and am currently using oil of thieves in mine, just be sure to fill with water to the line and then how ever many drops of oil you wish without being overpowering

We consider the OXO, a nice mesh strainer which works fine with dryed spices or straining liquids. it is not a great strainer to mash turmeric. A garlic press, while quite small, works better.

I haven't used herbs. I use it for mixing essential oils, a pinch of Epsom salt, and water to make bug spray. I carry it in my purse, and it hasn't leaked.

Unfortunately I don't know. I have never used essential oils and don't know how difficult (if at all) they are to humidify. It's a great humidifier on it's own though. If oils like that are typically okay to put into humidifiers then I would guess it's okay.

I don't see why not. You will need to do small amounts at a time. The ulu is great for chopping herbs, too.

Ideally you want to use the entire plant, root and all when infusing the oil
