Easy Salve

 Here is another easy salve recipe. Lemon Balm contains Eugenol which eases pain and calendula is great for all types of skin conditions, very soothing.

 I don't always weigh my ingredients, so these are approximate.

2 cups olive oil or sunflower oil (olive lasts longer)

3/4 cup lemon balm and calendula. Just throw handfulls in the measuring

container until you get 3/4. Try to use equal amounts of each.

Mix together and place in top of double boiler. Simmer over low heat for2 hours. Remember to replace the water in bottom pot if it gets low.

Strain out herbs. In seperate pan or bowl if using microwave, melt 2

tsp. beeswax and 1 tsp. cocoa butter or lanolin. Add to the infused oil

and stir until cool. If you wanted to make this antibacterial, you would add a few drops of tea tree or thyme oil when it cools. Put into jars and label!!!!! Add the date.....
