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 or abrasion, dry skin, lip balm, and as a facial cream.
