Today I'm posting about what is probably the best product I have come upon so far in my DIY journey. This ointment is virtually good for everything. It is completely organic and can be used for cuts, burns, bruises, scrapes, eczema, itching skin, diaper rash, and pretty much anything else you can think of to rub it on. A little goes a long way which is good because it is not cheap to make. Trust me, it is totally worth it. If you never make any other DIY product, make this one. I have used it on some of my surgical scars, and it has made a noticeable difference in just a short time. I have also friends who have used it on baby bumps and stretch marks and rave about how wonderful it is. My formula is closely adapted from Rebecca at Camp Wander. Camp Wander is another blog full of great stuff. Check them out. http://campwander.com/2014/04/purpose-healing-salve/
All-Purpose Healing Ointment
1/2 cup organic coconut oil
1/2 cup organic olive oil
2 T beeswax
1 tsp vitamin E oil (optional)
8 oz glass or PET1 jar
20 drops lavender
16 lemon
12 drops tea tree
8 frankincense
This recipe will make 8 ounces. For convenience and easy pouring, use a glass
Pyrex measuring bowl with a spout and handle for melting. Mix coconut oil, olive oil, and beeswax
together. Microwave in 20-30 second
intervals stirring regularly until melted.
When the coconut oil, olive oil and beeswax have melted completely, add
vitamin E oil and stir gently. Prepare the jar by adding 20 drops lavender, 16 drops lemon, 12 drops tea
tree, and 8 drops frankincense to each jar. Pour melted oils over
the essential oils. Fill each jar to 1/4
inch from the top, cover with a paper towel, and let sit at least 6 hours until
solid. Seal snugly with lid. Shelf life of All-Purpose Healing Ointment is
approximately 4-6 months without vitamin E oil added (preservative). With
vitamin E, approximately 6-9 months. Store
in a cool, dry place. Use on cuts,
burns, bruises, scrapes, eczema, itching skin, stretch marks, and for diaper rash.
