Making first aid salve is a lot of work. It is a two day process! I gather the herbs the first day and process them over night. The next day is when the all the fun begins. It is a bit messy but also fun.
Plantain from the yard. We don't spray our yard because we know what most people call weeds we call medicines.
Gathered leaves. Two bundles of 30!
I did half of Castor Oil & half of Olive Oil. I leave the plantain & calendula for 4 hours and then strain it and add the same amount to leave over night.
The next day I strain the plantain and calendula.
I also Vit E oil and Lavender essential oil to the salve.
Next I added the beewax and wait for it to melt. Around 15-30 min.
From there we are pretty much all done! Just place in containers and put in the freezer to set.
All done and ready for selling and using! $15 for 30g and $2 for 5g. I will be setting up at the Oneida Farmer's Market or email me to order. starrmerrie@gmail.com
