Notes

The original recipe calls for Jatamansi,Brahmi and Bringraj along with all the other ingredients.All herbs are first boiled in water and then strained. The strained water is then cooked with coconut oil till the water evaporates. I did not have access to these herbs. I also wanted to make this oil with ingredients that are easily available, and was also easy to make,so more people can benefit from it. I preferred to use dry Amla and hibiscus as the cooking time is less and there is no moisture in the oil. If using fresh,cook the Amla and Hibiscus till completely browned. This oil has a shelf life of almost a year.
