All Purpose Healing Salve

This recipe was made at the Plants & Fungi foraging event that I hosted in 2022 by Amber Dawn Holistics.

  • Fill a sanitized jar (500 ml) with equal parts Calendula, Plantain, St. John's Wort, and Comfrey Leaf. You can use fresh or dehydrated plant matter. The less water content, the better, so don’t shy away from dehydrated.

  • Fill the jar again with base oil of your choice (I recommend organic sunflower oil).

  • Infuse for 6 weeks (shake twice daily). Dancing and singing with it might add a little extra magic. 

  • Strain out plant matter. 

  • In a small pot, add infused oil plus 1oz of beeswax. 

  • Stir consistently until beeswax is melted. 

  • Pour into jars. 

  • Leave to cool with lids off - leaving them on will add condensation to your salve, and water content will reduce it's shelf life and encourage mold/rancidity.

  • Put lids on once cooled completely. 

  • Use on bites, scrapes, dry rashes, cuts, or even diaper rash!
