Homemade Goldenrod Salve Recipe
Dry, itchy skin got you down? Burns or cuts lingering? Nature's got your back! Whip up a healing goldenrod salve at home - soothing relief awaits. Easy peasy recipe inside!
Ingredients
- 1 cup infused goldenrod oil
- 2 tbsp beeswax pellets
- tin container
Instructions
- Prepare the goldenrod-infused oil: Start by filling a clean glass jar halfway with dried goldenrod flowers or two-thirds full with fresh goldenrod flowers. Pour your chosen carrier oil over the flowers, ensuring that they are fully submerged. Secure the lid tightly and place the jar in a cool, dark place for 4-6 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to promote the infusion process.
- Strain the oil using a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer to remove the goldenrod flowers. Squeeze the cloth or strainer to extract as much oil as possible.
- In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water, melt the beeswax and goldenrod oil until it becomes fully liquid.
- Carefully pour the mixture into the tin containers while it is still warm and liquid.
- Allow the salve to cool for a few hours or overnight until it is solidified completely. Once it is solidified, you can then seal the tin containers.
Notes
Remember, goldenrod salve is not a substitute for professional medical care. If you have any severe or persistent skin issues, consult a healthcare professional.
