The Phoenix Sunrise

So I don’t have the supplies just yet to try my first salve…  Here’s what I’m looking for…

Comfrey Root Infused Oil
Calendula (Marigold) Infused Oil
Tea Tree Essential Oil
Coconut Oil (Carrier)
Beeswax

Comfrey is rich in all kinds of minerals and vitamins.  Calendula is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.  Tea Tree is very similar to Calendula, but add some anti-viral and analgesic properties.  Cocoanut is anti-fungal, antiseptic, and an immunostimulant.  Beeswax is for texture, but is also absolutely fabulous for all skin applications.

The purpose?  Natural neosporin.  I know, I’m a nerd.

Anyhow, I have the last three ingredients already, jars to put this stuff in and everything…  But I don’t have the comfrey or the calendula.  I’ve ordered both…  But the big hold up?  I have to infuse the oil for each of them for two weeks……..  blech.  Time consuming project…  But!!  Once I get it done, I shouldn’t need to infuse the oils again for some time.  I will be making enough of each infused oil to last me for quite a while.  Hopefully.

Can’t wait to see how this works out.  :)  Should know in a month, or sooner if I can acquire a second mini-crockpot.  We shall see.
