Basic Salve Method

1. Infuse oil: Gently warm herbs in carrier oil over low heat or use a slow infusion method until fully extracted. Honestly, the slow infusion method is best.
2. Strain oil: Remove all plant material using cheesecloth or fine strainer.
3. Melt wax: Combine infused oil with beeswax in a double boiler until fully melted.
4. Test consistency: Drop a small amount on a cold plate—adjust wax if needed (more wax = firmer salve).
5. Pour into containers: Carefully pour mixture into clean, dry tins or jars. For best results, use a squeeze type bottle for this step.
6. Cool completely: Let sit undisturbed until fully solid before sealing. Do not cover until it is completely cool.
