Guest guest Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Herbal Healing Salve Formula This all-purpose salve recipe is perfect for minor scrapes, cuts, bug bites, or other skin irritations. The herbs may be adapted for different skin conditions and ailments as desired, and the amount of beeswax can be easily altered. Use less beeswax if you desire a softer balm or live in a cold climate, and use more beeswax if you prefer a harder salve or reside in a warm climate.Herbal Healing SalveYield 4 oz1 oz Calendula infused oil1 oz Comfrey infused oil1 oz St. John's Wort infused oil1 oz Plantain infused oil10 drops Vitamin E Oil20 drops Lavender Essential Oil½ oz Beeswax (Carnauba or Candelilla Wax may be used for a Vegan salve)Glass Jars or Tin ContainersPlace Herbal Infused Oils and Beeswax over a double boiler, and gently heat until the Beeswax melts.
