Lavender Salve

Lavender is extremely versatile and makes a wonderful salve: antimicrobial, antispasmodic, nervine, relaxing, pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory. This recipe is just three ingredients (lavender-infused oil, beeswax, and essential oil) and it makes a great staple to stock in your medicine cabinet or first aid kit.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz lavender infused Sweet Almond Oil
  • 10 g beeswax
  • 15 drops lavender essential oil
  • 1 sprig lavender, for decoration (optional)

Equipment

  • small pot
  • scale
  • heat-proof jar

Method
 

  1. Weigh your oil and beeswax into a small 4 oz heat-proof jar, or if you are using little metal tins, you could also do this in a small heat-proof jar/measuring cup to pour later.
  2. Melt beeswax & oil together in a double boiler.
  3. Remove from heat and drop in your lavender essential oil.
  4. If using a decorative sprig on top, wait until your salve starts to set to lay your sprig (about ten minutes) to make sure it doesn't get lost under the surface.
    Label and enjoy!
