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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
