                       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.
