All Purpose Healing Salve
INGREDIENTS:
• 1/2 cup of Coconut Oil
• 1/2 cup of Olive Oil
• 1/4 Cup of Beeswax
• 1/3 Cup of Calendula Flowers
• 15 drops of Melaleuca ( Tea Tree) essential oil
• 15 drops of Lavender essential oil (I only use that brand of essential oils)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Put the coconut oil and olive oil in a saucepan. Melt the coconut oil if it isn’t melted already.
2. Add the calendula flower petals (dried) and simmer on low for around 2 hours. Make sure to stir a few times during the process. You can also add the oil and calendula to a crockpot and put on low for up to 3 hours.
3. Strain the mixture into a bowl through a cheesecloth.
4. Now add the calendula oil back to the saucepan and add the beeswax. Melt the beeswax.
5. Remove from heat and let cool for around 15 minutes.
6. Add the essential oils and stir.
7. Pour into a glass jar and store for up to a year! or make some as gifts. Makes 1 cup
You can experiment with the essential oils you use... I prefer using lavender, Melaleuca (tea tree) and I add Frankincense to it as well. Just to kick it up a notch.
