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.
