How to make Herbal Salves

In this video I am making an herbal salve with herbs that I harvested from the woods and from my aloe plant. It has Jewel-weed, goldenrod, wild carrot, carrot, plantain, clover, carrot, and sandalwood scent. I soaked the herbs in a pint of olive oil for one month in a covered container and in a cool dark place. I wrung out the herbs and then I filtered them in an old coffee filter. I heated the oil and melted beeswax in it.

Golden Rod Lore


I use Golden Rod for Skin Salves. I soak it in olive oil for a month. I strain it and I melt bees wax into it for a base. I use a scented oil to make it sell good when I am done. It works a lot like neosporin on cuts. I write more about Golden Rod here https://www.facebook.com/Rubysherblore
