plantain, calendula, lavender, marshmallow, pine
needles, yarrow, chamomile, whatever you can find that's

it. Allow to simmer very gently for a couple of hours
till the herbs are starting to get crispy. Strain
through a fine stainless steel mesh strainer and return
to pot. Add beeswax and melt. Remove from heat and stir
in essential oils. Stir and cool, till it barely starts
to thicken. Pour into clean jars. Allow to cool. Label.

little label you creat showing all the ingredients you
used and the following uses; "Use on skin wounds or
abrasions, dry skin, as a lip balm, and as a facial
cream. "
