The first-aid kit should be supplemented with natural remedies. Syrups, ointments or infusions, the recipes of which are often passed on from generation to generation, can be as effective as expensive pharmacy products. Today, I would like to introduce you to a recipe for homemade ointment that accelerates wound healing. It contains honey, lavender oil and beeswax. This should not cause you any problems. The proportions indicated in the recipe will allow you to get about 100 ml of such an ointment.
Home ointment recipe
Olive oil – 57 ml, cocoa butter – 15 g / 15 ml, beeswax – 19 g / 20 ml, honey – 1 teaspoon (5 ml), vitamin E – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml), lavender oil 10 -20 drops
- Combine olive oil, cocoa butter and beeswax by melting them in a water bath or microwave.
- Let the mixture cool. When the temperature drops to about 40 degrees Celsius, you can add honey and vitamin E. If you add honey earlier, when the temperature is above the specified temperature, the ointment will lose many of its valuable properties. Essential oil should be added last.
- Thoroughly mix everything with a rubber spatula, spoon or mixer. Put the finished ointment in small airtight containers.
Attention!
Children under the age of 2 years are not recommended using the ointment.
