Salves Aromatherapy Skin Care Product

The combination of vegetable oil, beeswax and the essential oil gives the aromatherapy skin care product called salve.



It is a highly beneficial aromatherapy skin care product for healing muscular aches, pains, respiratory conditions and skin rashes. It is also very effective in treatment of cold, cough, sinus congestion and flu.



The vegetable oil can be a combination of Sunflower, Calendula herbal infusion and Echinacea herbal infusion or simply 100% sunflower or apricot kernel or olive oil.

How to make an aromatic salve:
In 1 and ¼ cup of vegetable oil mix an ounce of beeswax. Melt down this combination in a double boiler at a medium temperature.



Once this combination becomes fluid, remove from the heating appliance. Now pour this fluid into the small glass jars and then add the essential oil to each jar to get the aromatherapy skin care product for healing.



Let this salve cool down and harden. If the salve hardens or thickens too much, melt it again and add more oil to it before hardening.



If it becomes too fluid, melt it down and add some more beeswax.
