Balm for cuts and scrapes
3 ounces vegetable carrier oil
1 ounce grated beeswax (Many herbal stores and health food stores sell
pure beeswax.)
40 drops lavender oil
40 drops tea tree oil
4 ounce wide-mouth jar
Place the beeswax in a microwave safe bowl and melt in the microwave
using a reduced power setting if you have one. You can also melt the
beeswax in a pan on the stove using a low heat setting. Beeswax is hard
to remove from pans, so please keep that in mind. In a separate pan,
slowly and gently heat your carrier or infused oil. Pour the warm
carrier or infused oil into a bowl, add the melted beeswax and then stir
very well. Add the essential oils
and again stir well. Close the jar and wait until the ointment has
cooled before using.
Remember that all bowls, pans and utensils that you use will be hard to
clean afterwards.
Use balm for cuts and scrapes as you would any commercial antibiotic
ointment.
