From The Herbal Body Book: A Natural Approach to Healthier Skin, Hair, and Nails 
by Stephanie Tourles

Good for: all hair types

Use: daily or as needed

Follow with: your regular conditioner, Basic Oil Conditioner, Hair Sheen,
or Highlight Booster

Prep time: approximately 45 minutes

Mix with: medium-sized bowl and spoon

Store in: bottle

Yields: approximately 40 treatments

Special: Leaves hair shiny and soft. Good baby shampoo, very mild and gentle.

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.
