Calendula & Lavendar Balm




Makes 4 ounces

Ingredients:
  • 1 oz. melted Beeswax
  • 1 1/2 oz. Calendula Infused Oil
  • 1 1/2 oz. Lavender Infused Oil
  • 25 drops Lavender Essential Oil
  • 55 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil

Notes: This is a simple balm that my family uses for any minor burns, scrapes, scratches, cuts, abrasions, and other such boo boo's. This is also a nice balm for dry or irritated skin.

Directions: To make the balm, start melting your Beeswax on the stove top. In another pan, add water and let the water simmer. Set the jar you intend to make the balm in down in the water. It should come up about half way on the jar, but not so much the jar is floating. Pour your Infused oils into the jar and add 1oz. of melted Beeswax. Stir this well until all the ingredients are mixed. Take the jar out of the hot water and add your essential oils, again stirring well. Put the top on and allow to cool.

Precautions: Familiarize yourself with the safe use of essential oils before trying any recipe or essential oils. Check with a reputable aromatherapy book and your doctor regarding the safety of each ingredient before using any recipe or synergy.
