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.
