Guest guest Posted January 11, 2001 Report Share Posted January 11, 2001 OK you asked for it OKay this is from a book called, " Judes's Herbal Home Remedies " . It is by Jude C. williams, M.H. Violet Lotion: This lotion has lots of vitamin A, so you know how good it is for the skin. There is no better oil for our skins than almond oil. It smooths, softens, and feeds the skin, and it's great for under the eyes. Place 1/2 cup of fresh violet leaves and 1/2 cup violet flowers in a stainless steel pan. Cover the herbs with almond oil. Place the pan on very, very low heat and leave to steep for about 6 hours, covered. Strain off the flowers/leaves and add 1 ounce of melted beeswax to the almond oil. Stir until mixture is creamy. Test for firmness. If too stiff, add a little more almond oil. Pour into pretty jars and use daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
