Ingredients

  • 120 ml organic carrier oil
  • 20 g organic beeswax
  • 7 g dried plantain
  • 7 g dried daisy
  • 7 g dried calendula
  • 7 g dried yarrow
  • 24 drops of lavender essential oil (optional)
  • Muslin cloth
  • Bain-marie
  • 8 x 30 g containers

Method

  1. Place the herbs into the muslin and tie into
  2. Leave the herbs to infuse into the oil for 2–3 hours. The oil should take on the colour of the herbs.
  3. Remove the muslin cloth of herbs and strain the oil for any additional herb matter.
  4. Place the oil and beeswax into the bain-marie and stir until the beeswax has completely dissolved.
  5. Pour the mixture evenly into the containers.
  6. If using lavender essential oil, add three drops per container once the oil has cooled slightly, but before the balm begins to harden.
  7. Leave to cool completely, then seal and label the containers.
  8. Can I use fresh herbs?
  9. This first aid balm will keep for up to a year if it’s stored in a cool, dark place. Make sure to check for any sign of mould or oil rancidity and do not use it if this is the case.
