Guest guest Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 Lynette, Thank you for your generous donation and all others , too.,. Got enough now, that I am thinking of making also sticks with my famous green goop* to heal bug bites, and a zilllion other things. * Green Goop some plantain leaves ( fresh) some comfrey leaves, chopped up, ( fresh) some dried calendula flowers stuff into a clean glass jar and fill with olive oil Heat on the lowest heat possible in a double boiler for several hours ( do not let the water boil down and never get the oil to boil) Strain through a coffeefilter . Back into the double boiler and add beeswax, enough for a salve consistency. When the beeswax is melted add a afew drops of Vit.E, lavender EO and TTree, stir well. Fill into small containers. For 'sticks in lip balm tubes, add more beeswax. Sorry that I have no acurate measurements, maybe someone else can figure that out Thanks again. C-M Quote
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 Christa Maria.. You might like to consider using soy wax flakes instead of using bees wax. I find it as good as bees wax for consistancy, melts at a lower temperature and absorbs better than beeswax for balms etc. Plus you can market it as Vegan for a larger audience.
