Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Mommy Kiss-It Salve copyright 2000 Mueller Lane Farms This is what my family uses for our First Aid Salve. The recipe is one created after researching different botanicals & essential oil and then using the advice a very wise woman, I looked around at what botanicals grew naturally on our land. This salve is used for minor cuts, scrapes and burns. Be sure the wound is clean and not a puncture wound. 50% Comfrey infused oil* 5% Rosemary infused oil* 5% Lavender infused oil* 5% Calendula infused oil* 5% Plantain infused oil* 5% Chickweed infused oil* 5% Mullein infused oil* 20% beeswax rosemary essential oil** tea tree essential oil** lavender essential oil** * My oil infusions are made by filling a large mouth glass jar about 1/4 - 1/3 full of the dried botanical. These are then filled with Olive Oil and left in a sunny window. They get a couple shakes a day. After 2 weeks, the oil is strained and more botanical added. To use the oil, strain the botanicals from the oil. Refill oil as needed. Lard is another nice oil to use for infusions.Another way to infuse oils is to gently warm the oil in a crock pot and add botanicals to it. You will want to keep the crockpot on a low temperature so you do not french-fry your herbs! **Please keep the total amount of your essential oils to 2% or less of total salve amount.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 my experiences is to not shake oils because it causes air bubbles and are more likely to create mold. I gently stir mine with a clean stick or don't disturb my oils at all. * My oil infusions are made by filling a large mouth glass jar about 1/4 - 1/3 full of the dried botanical.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 nope they don't you can make it whatever parts you want. The beeswax is for making thicker. I add beeswax and then put a bit on a plate and drop it in the fridge to see what texture it comes out to. I also add vit e oil to prevent it from getting rancid. Anne <sarahlovell@...> wrote: Looks like a good salve recipe - but I wonder what the rest is? or could you just break it down to 1 part of all the oils, then 4 parts beeswax? (just thinking, they don't all add up to 100% ) Does anyone think breaking it down into "parts" would work? Anne- ~*~ love, light, and Goddess kisses ~*~ Angie No need to miss a message.
