Pain Reliever Salve Print E-mail

Mix together 1 oz of chickweed (reduces inflammation and aids in healing), 1 oz of wormwood (a great pain reliever), and 1 ounce of yarrow (an anti-bacterial agent that also helps relieve pain). The yarrow plant contains achillein and achilleic acid.These substances reduce the clotting time of blood, so they help stop

any bleeding. Yarrow also has pain-killing and anti-inflammatory properties that are similar to aspirin.

 

Add the mixture of herbs to 2 pints of olive oil and simmer 3 hours. Strain and add 3 ounces of beeswax and 1 teaspoon of tincture of benzoin. Test for consistency before pouring into wide mouth containers.
