Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Thank you so much Paula...I do believe it is your recipe for a salve that I was going to use as an example... & also your method of infusing that I was going to attempt. I don't know why I get salves & balms confused...a balm is harder than a salve is it not? Thanks again for you input!! hugs, donna Donna Buchholz Something Different Soap & Things - paula coon I always infuse my herbs in either olive oil or rice bran oil or a mix of both, depending on what I have at the time. There are many places on line to buy herbs in large amounts and smaller amounts. If you are looking for a small I amount, I recommend www.herbalsoapsbyrj.com You can get an ounce or 2 or more. She's great to deal with and ships very fast, only charges actual postage costs and includes a tiny goodie bag with every order. You can used the infused oil to make some salve or non-petroleum jelly. I infuse calendula with a few other healing herbs, add a few drops of Vit. E and make some non-pet. jelly/salve and it works wonders on diaper rash. All 4 of my kids used it on their little ones and you could see a difference in the rash by the next diaper change. We all use it as an all purpose skin salve/balm and it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I don't really think there is much of a difference. My salves are like a thick Vaseline and my balms aren't quite as thick Paula .......... in Michigan I used to have super powers but my therapist took them away Thank you so much Paula...I do believe it is your recipe for a salve that I was going to use as an example... & also your method of infusing that I was going to attempt.
