Healing Salve for Minor Scrapes and Burns

Healing Salve for Minor Scrapes and Burns

• 1/2 c. coconut oil (or olive oil)
• 1/2 c. grapeseed oil (or olive oil)
• 1/2 c. healing herbs of your choice (chamomile, calendula, comfrey, lavender, plantain leaves)
• 4 Tbsp. beeswax
• 2 tsp. honey
• 15 drops lavender essential oil (optional)

Infuse the oils and herbs over low heat on a double boiler for 30 minutes, stirring often. Strain the herbs from the oil. Place the oil back into the top of the double boiler and add beeswax, stirring until completely melted. Pour the mixture into a sterile container and add essential oil (if desired), stirring well. Then stir in the honey, and continue to stir the salve mixture every few minutes until it’s set up – making sure the honey is completely incorporated.
This should keep in a cool, dark place for up to a year. Apply to minor scrapes and burns a few times a day until healed.
