Boo-boo Balm

This recipe is good for all your bumps, bruises, and scrapes. Its even good for a dry, itchy diaper rash.  Don't use it on anything deep, like a puncture wound. Good for adults too!

Ingredients:

2 c. olive oil

1/8 c. dried comfrey leaves

1/8 c. dried calendula petals

1/8 c. dried comfrey root

1/8 c. dried yarrow flowers

1/8 c. dried plantain leaves

1 oz. beeswax (about 1/2 c.)

10 drops  Tea Tree Essential Oil

10 drops Helichrysum Essential Oil

20 drops Lavender Essential Oil

Instructions:

Infuse herbs into olive oil (it's easy.  If you don't know how, follow this link).

Place infused oil into a saucepan* (one you don't care about as it will be hard to clean) and turn on low. Add the beeswax; stir until beeswax melts. Remove from heat and add essential oils. Pour into 1 oz. jars. Let cool and then seal.  Makes approximately 14, 1 oz. jars. 

*  Be sure to use a saucepan that doesn't have a non-stick coating!
