The star ingredients of a sensory ritual
Here’s what makes this blend so popular:
Cloves: 1 tablespoon (about 8–10 cloves), known for their stimulating aroma.
Rosemary: 1 tablespoon of dried leaves.
Bay leaves: 2 whole leaves.
Coconut oil: 150 ml, to protect and nourish lengths.
Castor oil: 100 ml, for a thicker, shinier texture.
Fenugreek: 1 teaspoon of seeds.
Curry leaves: 1 tablespoon (fresh or dried).
Vitamin E: 6 to 8 drops, to help preserve the blend.
Together, these ingredients create a complete, pleasant oil that’s easy to incorporate into a weekly routine.
How to prepare this oil at home
The recipe is surprisingly simple:
- Gently infuse the plants (cloves, rosemary, bay leaves, fenugreek, curry leaves) in the coconut oil and castor oil, making sure the mixture never boils.
- Let it warm for about forty minutes to release the aromas and active compounds.
- Add the vitamin E once the oil has cooled slightly.
- Strain the mixture to obtain a clear, smooth oil.
- Store it in an amber glass bottle to protect the oils’ properties.
This infusion requires little effort, yet it truly transforms the bathroom into a small wellness workshop.
