Herbal Heart Balm
Hold in the palms of your hands and allow your
body heat to release the healing properties of these
herbs and apply salve to all areas of your body.
I pick cottonwood buds (Balm of Gilead - well known for dry skin conditions) in
early spring and infuse them in olive oil. When the lavender flowers are ready
I add this to the mixture and allow it to steep for a month. After straining
off the raw material I add beeswax, grapeseed oil, vitamin E, and lavender,
geranium, cypress and patchouli essential oils.
I use this as an everyday moisturizer and recommend it for dry hands (gardners,
carpenters and artists...) cracked feet, itchy spots and other dry skin
conditions.
It can also be used as a massage bar.
You can leave this in a dish by your bed or sink. It does not dry out or lose
its fragrance.
The hearts make beautiful gifts and are a wonderful idea for weddings and
special occasions.
*It is possible to have custom made labels made to suit your personal
celebration. Please inquire about possibilties and pricing.
