BRIDE-OF-THE-SUN SALVE
1 handful of wild garlic
1 cup of marigold blossoms
9 rosemary blossoms
9 lavender blossoms
1 cup of goat butter, olive oil, or neutral base
Use olive oil or goat butter over a low flame for a base. (Or purchase neutral salve base at your health store or at a pharmacy). Over low flame carefully mix in an earthenware or an enamel pot marigold blossoms, rosemary blossoms and
lavender blossoms with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 3 minutes. Remove and allow to cool. Cover and store in cool place. The next day heat again over low flame, gently stirring for 7 minutes. Cool to body temperature and strain through
gauze cloth. Fill glass or earthenware container, cover tightly and store in cool, dark place. Apply thin film of the salve to affected area. Do not use heavy application, rather repeat treatment more often. This salve is also recommended for boils, scar tissue and insect bites.
Science has never drummed up quite as effective a tranquilizing agent as a sunny spring day.
