Re: all purpose baby/childrens salve

Nice mix. Hadn't thought of adding aloe vera juice to one. I

recently started adding lavender EO to a similiar mix of mine and it

makes it much more appealling.

Recently made a violet salve. Haven't had the opportunity to

test it out though. Fortunately, no babies to smear it on.

Well, I've got two other salves to test first. I'm pretty happy

with the basic salve of similiar recipe to yours of calendula,

plantain, and comfrey. That was the first one I was taught and it

seems to do okay for us. Adding the lavender was a good step up with

it for me.

Got another one, St.'swort, mint, and yarrow. This one is a

kicker and my new carry salve. Haven't tried the two side by side but

the new one helps with pain too.

A friend of mine adds pine pitch to his mixes and I was amazed

by how well it worked. He even used it as hair conditioner and his

hair was awesomely soft. Don't know if that was due to the pine pitch

or the nightshade he added (nightshade in salves on unbroken skin

only). Don't remember his exact recipe though.
