Becky's Itchy Salve
Becky's Itchy Salve (for help with itchies) :
(I use a simple
method, I don't measure, ;) so amounts are always approximate)
If
using fresh herbs, gently spray clean and let wilt overnight in a dry
place.
1 handful of chickweed
1/2 handful of chamomile
heads
1/2 handful of calendula heads
2 Tbs. of thyme
2 Tbs.
comfrey root
2 Tbs. marshmallow root
Cover with olive oil, infuse
over low heat (never get above 200) for 3
hours.
Strain and add
1-2 oz.cocoa butter and 1-2 oz.beeswax, heat until
melted and pour
into containers. Just drop a little on a plate and see
if it hardens
enough, if not add more beeswax only a little bit at a
time and
re-test.
