Healing Herb Salve
Originally from http://www.blossomfarm.com/recipes_medicinal.htm
- 1 oz dried comfrey leaves
- 1 oz dried calendula flowers
- 2 cups olive oil
- 1 oz pure beeswax
- 4 drops tea tree
- 4 drops lavender essential oils
- 1 400 vit E
Heat herbs in olive oil over low heat for about 5 hours. Do not let the oil boil or bubble. A Crock-Pot or the lowest temperature setting on a range should be suitable for heating this mixture. (If the lowest setting is too hot, turn off the heat once it has warmed the oil...it should keep warm for at least and hour....then repeat the process twice.) After cooking, strain out the herbs while oil is still warm. Place 1 1/4 cups of the herb oil in a pan, add beeswax and heat just enough to melt the wax. Add essential oil and stir. Finally, pour the salve into wide mouthed jars. Store at room temperature. Use for minor scrapes and cuts, to protect and promote healing.
