Autumn Salve Recipe

	Tuilelaith / All my dishes 2 months, 2 weeks ago NOTE From the Creator of the Recipe: I make this ointment every year when all the herbs are on. Then I give it as Christmas gifts, with a nice little label showing all the ingredients. You can use this ointment for everything--any kind of skin wound...

Ingredients

1 cup olive oil

Herbs from your garden and from the wild:

Comfrey,

plantain,

calendula,

lavender,

marshmallow,

pine needles,

yarrow,

chamomile,

whatever you can find that's good for skin

2 ounces beeswax

Essential oils as desired; I always use lavender and/or lemon .

Directions

Warm the oil and place the herbs in it.

Allow to simmer very gently for a couple of hours till the herbs are starting to get crispy.

Strain through a fine stainless steel mesh strainer and return to pot.

Add beeswax and melt.

Remove from heat and stir in essential oils.

Stir and cool, till it barely starts to thicken.

Pour into clean jars.

Allow to cool.

Label.

This is a very simple recipe, but everyone loves my Autumn Salve.
