Chickweed Salve

Leda,

I use chickweed infused olive oil to make a nice salve and also to make a hand cream for
my hands when they are badly chapped. No real measurements,though.

I drop a tablespoon of beeswax in a pan and let it warm on a medium stove setting until 
melted, then I lower the heat or turn it off and pop in a spoon full of shea butter, a 
few drops of lavendar or tea tree oil if it's for wounds. Let that all melt, remove from
heat and add the strained infused oil a bit at a time as it cools. When it is nearly 
cooled completely, I check the consistency, adding more oil if needed.

If you want a stronger more medicinal salve, then you'd want to measure carefully and 
add the maximum amount of eo per ounce of salve, I suppose. The hand cream is a bit more
complicated because it has water added.. LOL did that help at all?
