INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To infuse the herbs into the oil, place the herbs and enough oil to completely cover the herbs into the crockpot. Turn on the crockpot to the lowest setting. If you have a crockpot that has a keep warm setting, use that setting because it works the best. This method works well for making large batches of herbal oil. You can also place jars into the slow cooker. Just fill the crockpot halfway with water and cook them on warm. To infuse the herbs with the oil, you need to heat them in the crockpot. Allow the herbs to cook for two to four hours. Check frequently to make sure the oil is not bubbling or smoking. You can let the oil cook for up to 12 hours at 100 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Some crockpots are too hot to use to infuse oils. You will need to experiment. After two to four hours, turn off the crockpot and allow the oil to cool down. When cool, pour the oil through a cheesecloth into a clean glass, lidded jar. This helps to strain the herbs from the oil. Store the oil in a cool, dry, dark place.

SUMMARY: Place the ingredients in a crockpot. Heat the oil. Place the oil in a jar.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can buy a digital BBT thermometer at your local drugstore or the health aisle of your local supermarket. It will be labeled as thermometer specifically made for basal body temperature (BBT) readings. A digital BBT thermometer will allow you to get a quick, accurate reading. It will also beep when it has recorded your temperature and provide an easy to read number, which can be handy when you are sleepy in the morning. Some digital BBT thermometers also store the temperature for you. However, you should still record the temperature in a more permanent way, such as in a BBT journal or in a BBT app on your smartphone. You can also use a non-digital BBT thermometer as long as the thermometer is made to measure your basal body temperature, such as a glass thermometer. You will need to set up a routine in which you take your basal body temperature first thing when you wake up and are still lying down, before you move, stretch, or even talk. The idea is to get an accurate reading of your body at rest, and moving or talking can lead to a false BBT reading. To make it easier to take your temperature first thing in the morning, place the BBT thermometer next to your bed on a bedside table so it is handy when you wake up. If you are using a glass thermometer, make sure you shake it down at night before you place it on your bedside table. This way, it will be ready to use when you wake up. Try to take your temperature at the same time every morning. Set an alarm and try to stay within half an hour of your average time so your temperature does not vary too much from day to day. Always make sure you get at least three to five hours of continuous sleep before you take your basal body temperature to ensure the reading is accurate. You can take your basal body temperature by putting it in your mouth in the same location every morning. Keep it in your mouth for several seconds to allow the thermometer to get an accurate reading. Some women take their basal body temperatures vaginally or rectally, especially if they find it difficult to get an accurate reading using the oral option. Make sure that no matter which method you chose, you stay with the same method for the duration of your cycle. Always place the thermometer in the same spot and at the same depth vaginally and rectally.
Summary: Get a digital BBT thermometer. Keep the thermometer by your bed. Take your temperature as soon as you wake up, at the same time every day. Put the thermometer in your mouth to take the reading.
