Balms/ointments

Base balm/ointment

15g beeswax
80g organic vegetable oil of your choice
5g essential oil

Gently melt the beeswax, add the oil and blend. Add the essential oil and blend again.

Oils have varying properties:

Hemp seed and tamanu oils are renown for healing;

Sweet almond is a good base oil;

Apricot kernel is for sensitive skin;

Macadamia nut oil is for mature skin.

Add more beeswax for a firmer ointment, more oil for a softer one.

Use infused oils for the greater healing power of the herbs.
