Lugol's healing salve

Ingredients:

1 oz. extra virgin coconut oil

1 oz. shea butter

1 oz. jojoba oil

1/2 oz. sesame oil

1/2 oz. castor oil

1 oz. beeswax

44 drops Lugol's solution of iodine

Fill a pot with water 4-5 " high, place on stove over medium heat. Pour

liquid oils (jojoba, sesame & castor) into glass measuring cup with oz.

measures (total volume - 2 oz). Add solid oils next- add coconut to bring

total volume to 3 oz. Add shea butter to bring total volume to 4 oz. Stir

mixture (I use a chopstick) as solid oils melt into the liquid. Add beeswax

next...a good way to do that is to heat a knife over an open flame and cut

off small chunks. A gas range is perfect for this, or use a candle. Add

chunks of beeswax to bring total volume to 5 oz. Stir to melt the beeswax

into the mixture. Remove from heat, add Lugol's and stir like mad to

disperse into the oil mixture. This salve begins to solidify quite quickly,

if that happens while stirring in the Lugol's it's ok to place the mixture

back into the hot water bath to re-liquify. Decant into container of choice

- a wide-mouth glass jar is perfect for this. You can place in fridge to

hasten solidification, but that's not necessary as this salve is solid at

room temperature.
