Spruce tip oil-infusion

We gathered spruce tips 2 cups to 4 cups oil - I used olive oil - and placed them into a crock pot on low setting for about an hour. A double boiler would be better because you can make the heat a little lower. Strain the oil through some cheesecloth and store in a glass jar. The oil can be massaged into skin for conditions like cuts, abrasions, acne, eczema and boils. Spruce tips action as an antiseptic, antifungal, disinfectant and antimicrobial. It also has a wonderful taste so I might just use a bit of it for salad dressings too..
