Here's a great recipe for healing salve.

[Guest guest]

Here is a great recipe that I ran across about 2 years ago and it works great.

My son is a contractor and he puts it in his first aid kit at work. It works

great for cuts, scrapes, scratches, bites (insect), nettle stings, bruises, etc.

 

<strong>Ingredients:</strong>

All ingredients from my how to make a salve (see How to: Make a Salve)

1/2 cup dried Comfrey powder

1/2 cup dried Black cohosh

1/2 cup dried Bistort root

2 tbsp cayenne powder

1/4 cup dried lavender flowers

1/4 myrrh resin

 

<strong>Directions</strong>

Put the dried herbs (and myrrh resin) into a pan and cover with water. Bring to

a boil and then let simmer for 30 minutes. Strain the water out and pour it into

either olive or safflower oil. Boil this mixture until all the water is

evaporated. Add enough beeswax to give the mixture salve consistency and pour

this mixture into a dark glass jar or metal container with a lid. This salve

will last up to a year.

 

Use as needed.

 

I have many recipes, feel free to email me for more.

Is there another name for Bistort root? I've never heard of it.
