A few Oils and herbs that are nourishing for the skin include cocoa butter, pure almond oil or wheat germ oil, shea butter, and herbal oils made with chamomile, orange, lavender, calendula, rose petals, and comfrey. You can make a wonderful belly and breast massage oil by mixing a few handfuls of any of these herbs in a pint jar with 2 cups of an oil of your choice. If you wish to use cocoa butter, use half oil and half cocoa butter, and carefully cook the mixture over a double boiler for twenty to thirty minutes because cocoa butter is hard at room temperature. Cover the jar tightly and let sit on a sunny windowsill for one week. Strain the oil into another jar, and it is ready for use. You can add a few drops of an essential oil for fragrance, if you wish, and 400 IU of vitamin E as a preservative and skin nutrient.”
