LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE SALVE
1/4 c. lavender buds
3 chamomile tea bags
1/4 c. grapeseed oil
2 Tbsp. coconut oil
1 Tbsp. jojoba oil
1 1/2 Tbsp. beeswax
8 drops lavender essential oil
3 drops chamomile essential oil
Put lavender buds and contents of chamomile tea bags into a small saucepan. Add oils and gently warm them. Once the oils are warm, turn off heat and allow to infuse for 20 minutes. In the meantime, begin melting beeswax in a double boiler. Once your oils have infused with the herbs for a sufficient amount of time, pour the mixture through a piece of cheese cloth to separate the herbs from the oil. After the beeswax is melted, pour your herb infused oil into the beeswax and stir. The beeswax will harden slightly when you do this. Just give it another minute or so to remelt. After all the oils and wax are together in a liquid state, remove from the double boiler and stir in the essential oils. Pour into containers.
Enjoy this wonderful herbal and essential oil salve that softens the skin and moisturizes dry areas while adding a beautiful aroma.
