Healing Herbal Salves
How to Make Healing Salves:
These are semi-solid herbal oils which are applied topically to the skin to promote healing and provide a barrier to the elements. Oils must be infused with herbs, either as a sun infusion or a heated infusion (see below).
Use one ounce of beeswax for every 6-8 ounces of oil. Use around 1000 iu. of natural Vitamin E per 8 oz. Typically grated beeswax is heated separately in some oil to dissolve (it needs a high heat) and then added to the infused oils that have been warmed. This way you will not get chunky salves. Store this away from sun or heat. You can make your oils in the summer when the herbs are growing and store the oils until you make the salves. Add 5 to 20 drops of essential oil at the end of salve recipe to add medicinal values desired. Use salves and oils within one year of making or store in the refrigerator.
• Sun Infused Therapeutic Oil: A high quality oil that is infused with herbs in the sun. Before beginning, make sure your glass jar is free of moisture. Place dry or semi-dried herbs in the glass jar. Pour olive oil over the herb to completely cover. Check to make sure your lid does not have a cardboard lid where moisture may be lurking. Set your jar in the sun for two weeks. Strain and use or make in to a salve. Store in the dark.
• Heat infused oils: Put your chopped herbs and oil in a crock pot with a low setting. Set on low on let infuse for 5-6 hours. Strain and use.
