[Herbalist] EOs vs. infused oils for salves?

[Tara Sersen Boroson]

I should know this because I have taken some of Jadwiga's classes in the 
past *contrite*

I would like to make a salve recommended in the Wise Woman's Herbal for 
the Childbearing Year.  She recommends using infused oils, using fresh 
herbs and letting them sit for weeks.  Ok, I've done that before; 
Problem is, I don't have a suitable amount of one of the two herbs, and 
don't want to wait for weeks (ok, I'm impatient... but I'm also 
physically uncomfortable *now*.)  So, my question is: Can I use EOs 
diluted in a carrier oil instead of infused oils?  And, at approximately 
what dilution?  It rings a bell that I've used EOs like this in the 
past, in classes... but I have New Mom brain.

Thank you!
-Magdalena
