Add 1 oz (about 2 tablespoons) of beeswax pellets per cup of oil. Stir until fully melted.
  • 5Test consistency: dip a spoon in, let it cool 1 minute. Adjust — more wax = firmer, more oil = softer.
  • 6Optionally add 10-15 drops of essential oil (Lavender, Tea Tree) once slightly cooled.
  • 7Pour into tins or jars immediately. Let cool completely before capping (2-3 hours).
  • 8Apply externally to affected area as needed.
  • Tips

    • • Olive oil is the traditional choice, but coconut oil or jojoba oil also work well.
    • • For a softer balm, use less beeswax. For a lip balm consistency, use more.
    • • Calendula, Comfrey (leaf only), and Arnica make excellent healing salves.

    FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY. Do not apply to deep wounds or broken skin unless the herb is specifically indicated for this. Patch test on a small area first.

    Store in a cool, dark place. Properly made salves last 1-2 years.
