Ingredients
  • 2 cups water
  • (this ointment takes all day, but it is so worth it!!!)
  • (Colloidal Silver, tea tree oil and vitamin e oil, add after the mixture is ready to put in jars)
  • Aloe (I had a gel I added just before it finished, I do not remember I think it was like an 1/8 of a cup.)
  • Witch Hazel (from a bottle at the store, added just before the removal from heat too!)
  • (bee pollen, add to mixture just before you remove from the heat.)
  • Wheat germ oil, this just seems like a good add, it spoils quickly however so make sure and add enough vitamin oil
  • It is also my intent to add kelp this time around.
  • Also I will be using olive oil to reduce the tea into and beeswax in the end to thicken it up.
  • I hope Vaseline does not have any healing properties I do not understand or know about!
  • Corn oil might also be good for this. must research
  • ~
  • HERBS TO CHECK INTO FOR USE:
  • Grindelia ie: Curlycup Gumweed
  • Urtica urens ie: nettle
  • ~~~and a tablespoon of each herb ~~~
  • Lavender (i used flowers last time, from wild clovers, but oil might work)
  • Elder Flowers (found on road side)
  • Garlic (bought fresh at store)
  • Golden Seal (dug out of the ground in the woods)
  • Echinaacea (got from a neighbor's yard)
  • Thistle (field of an old place I used to live)
  • Slippery Elm Inner Bark Powder (bought this from wild clovers, it made things kind of slime-ie, but it goes away with the mixing in of other stuff!)
  • Sage (had)
  • Thyme (had)
  • Oregano (had)
  • Parsley (had)
  • Plantain (found in yard)
  • Jewel Weed (found walking the trail, and I happen to know where some is right now, so I need to go get it!)
  • burdock root (got out of a field at an organic farm)
  • marigold (got from a friends garden, flower)
  • marshmallow root (this I do remember, because I picked it on the side of the road off of I70)
  • dandelion (root and leaves, picked this myself also)
  • chickweed (? I kinda remember using this, was it for this one???)
  • nettle (yes I picked this myself, then took 3 baths to quit itching from the nettle. Remember, you must boil this for 10 minutes first in a thing of water. Discard the water then use the nettle. Otherwise it will not work without causing an allergic reaction to most peoples, and cows, wear long pants, long sleeves, gloves and keep hair out of face so you do not brush it out of the face with nettle coved hands, and NO open toed shoes!)

Directions
  1. Tea, 2 cups water,add more if it seems to be going down to fast, I never boiled this just brought it to the point of boiling and turned the heat to that point for 2 hours
  2. Then I added the Vaseline and let it cook down, it took about 4 hours, with olive oil I think I will just keep the time and add the beeswax when I am ready to take off of the heat.

  4. This was kinda the color of the Vaseline, but had darker, almost black points in it. The tea that had not blended I assume. But it was so good, even killed posien ivy rash!
  5. ~
  6. When it was "done" I let it cool naturally on the counter. I stirred it every time I walked by to be sure that all of the good stuff stayed in the mixture together! I put it up the next morning. Dan got some, Linda got some and someone stole the rest that was in the medications cupboard, I assume after I let them use it and they saw how great it worked, sigh, people suck!

Nettle is supposed to be good for arthritis and exema. Externally for arthritis and internally for the exema. Haven't tried it yet, but may be worth it with this salve. Thanks
