You will need:

• Olive Oil or any other oil of your choice such as almond oil or jojoba oil

• Calendula Flowers- Has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and soothing properties

• Plantain Leaves- It is known as a drawing herb, perfect for bites and stings

• Comfrey- Contains allantoin, a compound that promotes tissue regeneration

• Oregano - Anti-microbial actions due to compounds like thymol and carvacrol

• Yarrow- A styptic herb traditionally used to stop bleeding

• Beeswax to create a thick barrier

Oil to dried herb ratio is 2:1

*Make sure the herbs are dried to prevent any spoilage.

Step 1: Infuse the oil with the dried flowers and herbs. To do this, use a cold extraction method by combining them in a jar and allowing it to sit for 1-2 months, shaking it every few days.

Step 2: Strain the oil from the herbs. In a double boiler, mix the infused oil with the beeswax until the wax is completely melted.

Step 3: Pour the mixture in to small jars/cans and allow it to solidify.
