Easy    Healing    Salve

This recipe is not as complicated as other salve recipes but is good for beginners to start with. I prefer fresh herbs, but you can try dried. 1 part lavender flowers 1 part peppermint leaves Steep in 3 ounces of sunflower oil for 45 minutes.Strain. Melt 2 ounces cocoa butter or coconut oil in microwave or double boiler. Add 2 ounces of beeswax and melt together. Add strained sunflower oil and mix thoroughly. When mixture cools, add 2 tsp. essential oil of your choice. Pour into small soap molds or small plastic container. Peppermint is cooling while the lavender is topically healing.
