This is my thyme infused oil in progress. Large handful of thyme from my garden placed in a glass Jar and coverd in olive oil. I have to shake it every day and leave it in the sun for it to infuse properly. It takes up to six weeks depending on the strength wanted.

Once it’s ready I will make a muscle/chest rub salve with it
