Herbal Salve Recipe

You don’t really need specific recipes to make your herbal salves. Just choose herbs to suit your purposes and follow the directions above. To get you started, though, here’s a balm that you might find pleasant and useful.

Plenty of Purposes Balm

Use this general-purpose balm to calm skin that’s irritated or‚ for whatever reason, just needs some TLC.

2 cups olive oil infused with lemon balm
1 cup olive oil infused with calendula
3/4 cup beeswax shavings or beads
2 drops lavender essential oil

Directions:

  1. Combine the infused oils and warm over very low heat.

  2. Add beeswax and stir until completely melted.

  3. Test the consistency (see tips above) and adjust by adding more beeswax or more oil.

  4. Remove from heat, stir in essential oil(s) and pour into containers.

  5. Let set, then cover.
