Balm for Cuts and Scrapes
Ingredients:
3 ounces vegetable carrier oil such as sweet almond oil or infused oil such as calendula (infused oil of calendula can supply added therapeutic benefit).
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
Directions: 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 lavender and tea tree essential oils and again stir well. Close the jar and wait until the ointment has cooled before using. Remember that all bowl, pans and utilensils that you use will be hard to clean afterwards.
