Ointments
(By S. Cunningham)
There are 2 ways of making your ointments. One is using


 


                       shortening and the other using beeswax.
 


Shortening Method


 



                       Gently heat the shortening over low heat until liquefied. Add one
                       part dried herbal mixture, blend with a wooden spoon until
                       thoroughly mixed and continue to heat until the mixture has
                       intracted the scent, about an hour. Strain through cheesecloth
                       into a heat proof container. Add 1/2 teaspoon tincture of
                       Benzoin to each pint of ointment as a natural preservative.
                       Ointments should last a few weeks or months.
 
 

Beeswax Method


 


                       When using beeswax it is better to use oils then herbs. If possible
                       use unbleached beeswax. Place 1/4 cup oil, Hazelnut, Sesame, or
                       other vegetable oil in a pan. Heat until liquefied, remove from
'                      heat and allow to cool slightly. Now add the mixed oils to the
                       wax.
