Herbal Balm

Ingredients:

2 Cups olive oil
1 Cup dried herbs (such as lemon verbina, mint, lavendar, etc.)

20 drops essential oil
1 cup grated bees wax (pack it in)

Add the olive oil and dried herbs to a double boiler. Cook 15 minutes. Strain the oil to seperate the herbs.

Add strained oil to cleaned double boiler and re-heat. Add 20 drops of essential oil (in a flavor that matches or enhances the herbs you've used). Stir. Add grated bees wax. Stir frequently. To check consistancy, pull out spoon coated with oil, cool enough to touch. Once you get it to the consistancy you like, pour into jars (with lids) and let set overnight before using.
