I need to try some things for myself! So do you so we can compare notes. :)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-61422331174100482972010-12-20T11:07:37.920-05:002010-12-20T11:07:37.920-05:00You might think about adding calendula - also very...You might think about adding calendula - also very healing, good for skin and infections...<br /><br />I've always entertained thoughts of making my own stuff (shampoo, face cream, etc. - I have made soap), but I simply don't have time.

I hope all your ministrations work. When I make lipbalm, I always use beeswax as part of the recipe. Not only does it thicken nicely but adds a lot of extra healing potential.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049476969325691637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-34866581787365828592010-12-19T13:52:10.790-05:002010-12-19T13:52:10.790-05:00Mama Pea, that's where my faith is.

I really should make some of my own slaves though, because I have terribly dry skin and the kinds of hand creams I like are very expensive.<br /><br />Mr. H, if you all try the shortening, let me know. I will have to experiment myself. My big question would be how long it would take to absorb into the skin. Greasy hands, and all that. :)<br /><br />Toodie, there you have it, beeswax and olive oil. All the herbs sound wonderful and I imagine that the salve smells good too.<br /><br />Benita, well, I feel badly that I didn't catch it sooner.

The ingredients are....chickweed,comfrey,mint,olive oil,beeswax,lavendar,rosemary and eucalyptus. I jist wanted to share.<br /> I can imagine all the herbs of possible use and the talent to know how to make salve. I will just purchase it rather than make it. Loved your post.

For that I'd strain the herbs out, but there are many lovely herbs that are beneficial to the skin. That's on my list of things to do next year.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-80769694679362068782010-12-19T08:49:33.409-05:002010-12-19T08:49:33.409-05:00That is really a neat process.
