How to Make Herbal Salve

I just love making homemade products I can use all the time. That’s why when I found out that you can make herbal salve with any essential oil in just 5 easy steps, I just couldn’t wait to share it with all of you.

Salve is commonly used for bruises, insect bites, rashes, burns and as a moisturizer. By creating your homemade salve you can decide what kind you need or go with the all purpose healing salve. It will be all up to you. But I suggest for you to do some research too about the oils and herbs you want to use.

On this tutorial we will be making a very simple salve with lavender oil. Here are the things you will need! 

  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1 oz. beeswax
  • 1 tsp. lavender oil
  • small container or jars
  • double boiler
  • measuring spoon
  • pot holder
  • stirrer

 

Step 1. Boil water.

Salve

Simmer water in the double boiler. If you don’t have any double boiler, you can alternatively use a sauce pan and steel bowl.

 

Step 2. Melt the beeswax.
