Salves & Ointments

When making salves & ointments you should choose herbs with healing & soothing properties to apply to sore skin & wounds.

Pour 3-4 ounces of infused herbal oil into a glass bowl & place over a pot of boiling water. Do not let the boiling water touch the bottom of bowl.
Add a small, square piece of beeswax to the infused oil, stirring constantly until the was has completely melted. The beeswax will thicken the mixture, giving it the right consistency.
Pour the warm liquid into small, dark ointment jars.
Store in a cool, dark place.
