Re: Hello new to the group. Here's a great recipe for healing salve.

When I can, I make something similar. But it doesn't have the Bistort

root or the Myrrh resin (never even HEARD of it). Sounds great! And

with the olive oil (EVOO I'm assuming), it has a natural SPF.

My son is a contractor and he puts it in his first aid kit at work. It works

great for cuts, scrapes, scratches, bites (insect), nettle stings, bruises, etc.

to a boil and then let simmer for 30 minutes. Strain the water out and pour it

into either olive or safflower oil. Boil this mixture until all the water is

evaporated. Add enough beeswax to give the mixture salve consistency and pour

this mixture into a dark glass jar or metal container with a lid. This salve

will last up to a year.
