Recipe Introduction



This recipe is great for chapped lips, cold sores, and fever blister flare-ups. It also works wonders for dry, cracked cuticles.



List of Ingredients






1 Tbsp. Fresh sweet violet leaves, chopped
1 Tbsp. Fresh sage leaves, chopped
4 Tbsp. Almond oil
2 Tbsp. Beeswax






Recipe




Place the violet leaves and sage leaves in a bowl, add 2 tablespoons of almond oil, and mix well. Heat in the microwave at 5 second intervals until the scent is noticeable. (The mixture is usually ready when the herbs look as if they've been saut�ed and take on a semitransparent appearance.) Set aside. Place the beeswax and remaining oil in the other bowl. Heat in the microwave at 5 second intervals until the beeswax is completely melted. Strain the herbs from the first bowl and add the infused oil to the beeswax mixture. Beat until cool. Pour into jars and cap.
