Antiseptic Balm

Makes about 1 ounce

1 chip of Shea Butter

1 cm. cube Beeswax

1/2 teaspoon Jojoba Oil

8 drops Myrrh Essential Oil

8 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil

2 drops Lavender Essential Oil

8 drops Wheatgerm Oil

 

Notes: This is an excellent alternative to the standard antibiotic ointments found at drugstores!

 

Directions: Begin with a glass 1 oz jar. Put a chip of shea butter into the jar - enough to fill the jar about 1/4 full. Add a bit of beeswax - about a 1 cm. cube. Put in about 1/2 tsp. of jojoba oil. Melt this mixture in a microwave. When the mixture is melted, but still hot (and in a liquid state) add 8 drops of myrrh essential oil, 8 drops of tea tree essential oil, 2 drops of lavender essential oil, and 8 drops of wheatgerm oil. The myrrh and tea tree act as antiseptic agents, the lavender as an anti-inflammatory, and the wheatgerm

reduces scarring and prolongs the life of the balm itself.

Wise Tips
