JEWELWEED SALVE RECIPE
« Thread Started on Aug 4, 2007, 5:03pm »

First make an infused oil using the Jewelweed.
2 ounces of dried herb or 4 ounces fresh herb and 2 cups of any vegetable oil-
(you can use olive oil, almond oil, sesame oil, soy oil).
Combine ingredients in a double-boiler on low heat and let the herb "cook" for 1 to 2 hours.
Strain into a sterilized jar. (If your not going to use the oil right away to make salve, then
add 1/4 tsp. Vitamin E oil or Tincture of Benzoin for preservative).
To make the salve:
Gently heat 4 ounces of the infused oil in the top of a double-broiler type pan.
Add approximately 1 Tbsp of beeswax or paraffin. Let melt.
Add 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon Vitamin E oil or Tincture of Benzoin to act as a preservative.
Mix well. Pour or spoon into a jar. Let cool and cap.
This is great stuff! You can purchase dried Jewelweed
Herb from a Health-Food Store or by mail-order.
