T’s Wound Salve:

• 10 grams goldenseal root or barberry root bark 

• 10 grams calendula flowers

• 5 grams yarrow flowering tops

• 5 grams echinacea root 

• 240 milliliters olive, grapeseed, or sunflower seed oil (carrier oil) 

Grind your herbs, put them into a glass jar, and add the carrier oil. Let it steep for 2 to 4 weeks. Strain, retain the oil, and compost the herbs. 

Here’s a little variation on the salve that features raw honey.

• 2 ounces grated beeswax 

• 4 ounces raw honey 

• 50 drops of tea tree oil 

• 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil (optional) 

Put the strained oil in a double boiler and slowly add grated beeswax, while gently stirring. Check and adjust for consistency. Remove from the heat. As it begins to harden, stir with an electric handheld blender until it is smooth. Let it cool for another 5 minutes, blending periodically. Then add  your raw honey, vitamin E oil, and tea tree oil and continue mixing for an additional minute. Pour into salve containers and store in a dark, cool place. 

How to Use: This salve is amazing for any kind of minor cut, scrape, or burn. It is an all-purpose healing first aid salve.
