10 Ways to Use All Purpose Healing Salve & Recipe
If I had to choose only one skin care product out of the hundreds of products I've tried over the years, this All Purpose Healing Salve would be it!
I've shared this recipe on a prior blog post, DIY Skin Care for Gardeners. But since then, more and more people have used it and shared HOW they used it! I'm very grateful that this salve has improved so many lives of both people and animals (excellent for wound care). Read on and discover just how versatile this salve can be!
All Purpose Healing Salve Recipe:
1 Cup Organic Virgin Coconut Oil (Tropical Traditions Gold Label makes the silkiest salve!)
1 Cup Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4 T. Beeswax Pastilles
1/2 t. vitamin e oil (optional)
To each jar add:
10 drops Lavender
8 drops Lemon
6 drops Melaleuca
1/2 teaspoon Vitamin e oil (optional)
Fills {4} - 4 oz glass mason jars or small glass jars of choice.
Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer as well as antibacterial. Olive oil has lots of anti-oxidants, including Hydroxytyrosol as well as anti-inflammatory properties. Lavender soothes and heals, Lemon cleanses and disinfects while Melaleuca is antibacterial and antifungal!
Melt the coconut, olive oil and beeswax in a warm bath, stirring with a knife every few minutes until melted.
This will take at least 15 min, you want a slow melt.
Add the EOs to the empty jars and pour into glass jars of your choice and let cool.
Put a paper towel over the jars while cooling and wait to cover with lids until completely cooled down. Shelf life is approximately 8 months.
Suggestions from experience: Use small jars and keep several around the house and few travel sizes handy.
10 ways we've used All Purpose Healing Salve...with great success I might add :)
1. Crazy good hand moisturizer!
2. Amazing on dry, cracked heels and crusty elbows.
3. All round moisturizer for dry climes. I use it as a body moisturizer and even on my face, sparingly!
4. Soothes and heals chapped lips or any chappy place.
5. Soothes welts, burns and sunburn!
6. Great for diaper rash.
7. Keep your animals in mind! My son has healed his bulldogs sunburned noses with this. Great antiseptic wound care for animals (except cats).
8. Antiseptic properties make it great for cuts and scrapes!
9. Wonderful for elderly folks and their thin, fragile skin.
10. A good remedy for eczema!
Notes: It's easy to double the recipe if you're making gifts! A small jar of salve is a great gift that keeps on giving. Purchase some lip balm pots or tins and fill with salve to keep in your purse or backpack.
Make sure to share, everyone can benefit from this natural healing salve and it's just a nice thing to do!

LOVE LOVE LOVE This ~ my son's allergies manifest through is skin (no watery eyes or nose) so he is constantly dealing with welts and itching all over his body. We have used a similar recipe for him for many many years and it's the only thing that works. I highly recommend using this recipe with the EO because it really makes a difference. Whenever my son is over exposed and the welts are breaking out all over his legs ~ we actually smear this suave on and then wrap his legs in ace bandages before he goes to bed. Sometimes we even have to do it for his arms and chest. He quits itching and goes to sleep. We have tried many prescription ointments over the years to satisfy the doctors but either they don't work or my son is allergic to them. So we have made a believer out of his current doctor.
I use it on myself as well for dry hands and feet. I love the smell and it soothes me when I'm stressed. Thanks for the post! SandyKay
Sooooo happy you found something that works for your son!!
I need to make this! Do you know how much 2 T. of the beeswax pastilles weighs?
I believe it's approx. 1/2 an ounce!
I have been making something similar for years. Also makes a great leather conditioner and furniture wax/polish and cure for squeaky door hinges and sticky sliding glass doors.
OK I'm new at this, what are and where do I find "Beeswax Pastilles"
Pastilles are small bits of beeswax...they melt faster and a little easier to measure out. I buy mine from Amazon :)
Wow thanks for sharing, I'm excited about trying this! Do you buy your jars online too?
You're welcome! No...good old WM has the best prices that I've found anyway.
Would this still work well if I left out the lavender? I am allergic.
I also am allergic to Lavender? Any suggestions?
thanks!
Where do you get the lip balm pots?
Possibly peppermint, slightly different properties though.
I buy mine from Amazon.
Do you just search for lip balm jars? What are they called on Amazon? Thanks so much!
Yep...that's pretty much what you do! There's quite a few options available on Amazon.
I'm making the salve today. I'm out of lemon eo, would it be ok to use grapefruit or lemongrass or does the lemon have something essential to do with the antiseptic queality effectiveness? Also, my health store had something called beeswax beads (looks like powder to me). How much of the powder do you think I should use since it's more concentrated than the pastilles?
I am wondering can you extra virgin olive oil? Should I also use a specific brand of olive oil? Do I need to use doterra?
Sorry for all the questions
Maria, EVOO is great! I suggest doTERRA because I know the oils are pure without any additives. This balm would not be near as effective without PURE essential oils.
You can substitute the lemon with whatever you like, grapefruit would be good. I'm sorry but Ive never used a beeswax powder so I wouldnt know the ratio.
Ok, I made it today (picked up the Lemon EO - needed it anyway). I think the beeswax powder must be super concentrated because I only ended up with a pint about 2/3 full. I decided to add 4 Vitamin E gelcaps (holes poked in both ends). End result was 1/2 pint and 1/4 of another 1/2 pint so I made another batch to fill the other 1/2 pint and top off the other. I am going to have to play around with the measurement on the beeswax powder - but, I'll get there!
~What is the consistency of the salve? Soft but looks hard? Hard and waxy like Carmex or lip balm?
~If the consistency doesn't seem to be thick enough - would it be ok to reheat and adjust my beeswax and pour back into 1/2 pints?
~Do you squeeze the Vitamin E oil from the gelcaps or do you put the gelcaps in whole?
~Do you split the number of drops between each 1/2 pint or do you put 20/10/10 in each jar?
Thanks so much!
I love this! It smells great (my dad loved it!). I know already that I'll be making this often. I do have a few questions for clarification (hope you don't mind).
Good morning!
Consistency for the salve is best when soft but looks hard. If you want to make a batch of lip balm, just add a little more beeswax for a more solid consistency. I don't recommend reheating and, I squeeze the oil out of gelcaps without adding the gelcap. I add the oil recipe in each jar.
Thanks for the questions! So happy you love it too :)
Wow, you're an early riser way out West! Thanks for your patience and help. I have 1 final question to clarify (I don't understand) - You put 20/10/10 of the oil in each jar or 10/5/5 - make sense? Sorry to be such a pain & glad you're home from your quick trip to the beautiful CA beaches!
Ha! Yes I am...I love coffee :) Sorry, I misunderstood...10/5/5 in each jar. Duh, I'm still a little road weary apparently :) Are you joining in on the webinar tonight? You should if you can...lots to learn from the comfort of your home :) Details on how to log in on CW Facebook page! Take care!
Do you measure the coconut as a solid in a 1/2 cup measuring cup or liquid in a graduated glass measuring cup?
As a solid!
many thanks for this recipe & thorough comments & Happy Trails!
I going to make this up for my Christmas gift baskets this year. Thanks for sharing all these great uses for essential oils, I'm learning so much. Love your blog!
I too, am out of lemon EO. I was thinking of using geranium instead. Am in the process of making it right now. Next batch if I used say, the mint oils, peppermint, spearmint and wintergreen it would be like a sore muscle salve, yes?
Rose Geranium is a good one as well. Helichrysum is a wonderful healing oil.
I was really interested in this but.....
I don't like lavender, and can't stand Melaleuca/tea tree.
Anyone with any suggestions for subs for these. (Not real crazy about lemon, but can live with that.)
Billie
Ours turned out way too runny - I heated it back up and added a little bit more beeswax, it's cooling now. I came here to check what the consistency should be and saw the comment above where it says not to reheat - will it be ok? Is there a reason to not reheat?
It should be fine...hopefully you didn't melt it back down at high temps. That's my only concern with reheating.
I melted it the same way as the instructions above - using a water bath on the stove on low stirring as it melted and then I removed it from the water as soon as everything was well mixed.
It should be just fine then :)
I just use mostly coconut oil and a small amount of olive oil, along with my essential oils. Coconut oil is antibacterial, and anti-fungal, plus it is absorbed easily and quickly by the skin. I'm an esthetician and it is the primary product I use on my skin. My salve is probably softer, but works just fine and has a lovely creaminess. I also squeeze a capsule of Vitamin E into the salve as an extra preservative, although coconut oil doesn't become rancid for a long time. I've been making my salve for many years. I started making it this way because I had a few clients who had allergies to bees and I wasn't sure if it would be an issue.
Mrs. K, do you any essential oils, or just the oils (& vita E)? If you use any essential oils, which do YOU use?
I too use coconut oil a LOT! It is a major ingredient in a face "cream" that I make.
I don't use Lavender or Melaleuca (tree tree). Don't like them, and tho I have Lemon Eucalyptus, I don't have any lemon oil. I do have orange.
Would those work, and maybe peppermint? (Anybody.....?)
Rebecca, I saw your article in the newsletter about the salve with LLP and Frankincense. Is it basically this recipe, but you use Peppermint in place of the melaleuca and add some frankincense?
Do you sell this product? It sounds wonderful, but I don't want to buy all the ingredients!
I do Brooke. Please email apiyol@aol.com for more info :)
Patti...I add 6 drops of Frankincense to each 4 oz jar along with LLP.
Thanks...anxiously awaiting my LRP order so I can make this...no Frankincense left in the bottle....I'm missing it, too!
My father has a surgical wound that is healing and is taking a long time, would this be safe to use?
Yes, this would safe to use. All of the ingredients have antibacterial properties except the olive oil. If you have Frankincense, add 6 drops to a 4oz jar to aid with tissue regeneration!
Would it be best to leave out the beeswax and just use the oils? It's a large abdominal wound and wondering if the wax would make it hard to clean off? I've never made anything with oils.
Pamela, the Healing Salve would be best used after the wound has closed and stopped oozing. I would use essential oils diluted in a little fractionated coconut oil on the new wound. Helichrysum is excellent for wound care and tissue restoration. Melaleuca to be free of infection. Frankincense for regeneration. Have you used essential oils...and Im speaking of doTERRA essential oils.
I've never used essential oils....I'm completely new to this, just researching trying to find something to help heal this wound.
What is LLP?
Lemon, Lavender and Peppermint :)
Can this be done in a double boiler? Does it have to be a glass jar in a water bath?
Erin, I use the mason jar to save having to clean one of my pans...it's your choice :))
I just made this today it came out awesome! I made mine in a glass measuring cup the 2 cup one with a handle it was so easy to pour in small containers!
I'v made a renewed batch. YAY. I didn't like the consistency of the first batch so I did reheat this morning, added more beeswax, allowed to cool a bit, added a few more drops of the essential oils I chose to use, and...I even poured some into a chap-stick tube which I just purchased from a local store that I didn't know existed until yesterday! I used Grapefruit, Rosemary, Cinnamon Bark & Peppermint as my oils; I'm a bit sensitive to Lavender so I don't always use it, nor Tea Tree for the same reasons so I'm selective how/why I use those. This "renewed" batch came out absolutely perfect! Thank you!
Way to go!!
I am impressed! Used the salve on my poor broken leg this a.m. after a shower. Felt so good. I wonder if I could make it????
Rebecca, I don't have any Melaleuca, what do you think about substituting Frankincense?
Yes, of course you could make it! But you're my MOM...I'll keep you in Salve :)) Don't overdo!
You can add anything you like, I often add Frankincense!
I made the salve this weekend with the lemon, lavender and peppermint oil samples I ordered from you. Oh my gosh, I have a tin of it sitting on my desk at work even. I am already addicted to it. The smell and texture are amazing.
So easy to make isn't it?? Very happy you gave the salve a try with your samples!
What size jars and how many jars does this recipe make?
I use 4oz jam jars, you'll get just over 2 full jars...if you double the recipe, you'll get 5 jars.
Thanks for this, a half batch perfectly filled my 4oz tins I use at home and my 1oz ones I use for one the go [1 each]. I was wondering if you had a recipe for a home made vapor rub?
I find a lot of containers at www.aromatools.com.
I was so agitated tonight with extremely itchy legs. I have been bothered by them since the end of December. I am not sure what is causing them to have such an extreme itch. So, I mixed 10 drops of lavendar, 5 drops of lemon, 5 drops of melaleuca and 5 drops of frankincense to 30 ml of fractionated coconut oil. It is oily but my skin soaked it right up and I had immediate relief! So I will continue to use it the next couple of days and see if this relieves it altogether. I am excited to try making it into the salve recipe listed above!
I made this a few weeks ago and have been applying some salve to my arms .. now a wart I've had for years is just about gone. Good for calloused feet too .. of course, wear socks after applying. Love, love, this salve.
Any suggestions instead of coconut oil. Allergic to all tree nuts
Any suggestions for EOs that help with eczema?
Lavender and Melaleuca...the Healing Salve would be excellent!
Thank you, so happy to know it's helped :))
I made it exactly as you outlined and I NEVER make a straight recipe.
It came out perfectly.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Do you still sell this salve? It's too much money for me to buy everything. I would love to purchase some though :)
Yes Cate, we sure do! Send an email to schifflower@yahoo.com if you'd like to place an order please :))
Hi Rebecca,
I made a batch and we love it! I'm not familiar with the term salve...mine is the consistency of a lotion. Is that normal or perhaps should I take into consideration, warmer temps and lower altitude?
Thanks for all you do!
This salve is almost the consistency of a (for lack of a better description) petroleum jelly. If it's kept in warmer temps, the salve will have a thinner consistency. You can always add a bit more beeswax if you need to...this will help solidify. Happy you love it :))
Where does one find solid coconut oil??
I just made these and am waiting for them to cool. Now as I am re-reading the post, I have a question. You say to put the oils (10, 8, 6) in each jar. Is that in each 4oz jar? That's what I did, but then got confused by the photo of the 2 jars in the post.
Jennifer
In each jar, yes!
I've seen other recipes where people said you can sub shea butter for coconut oil. I've never tried it, so I'd do some research to make sure. Hope that helps. :)
Coconut oil is solid at temps below 76 degrees. At 76 it begins to solidify. Just a note, You should use the virgin, organic and UNrefined coconut oil. I believe Rebecca usually uses Nutiva brand (avail on Amazon). I bought a jar of Spectrum brand at my local health food store (the refined Spectrum version is available at Walmart - this one is not the same). HTH
Hello Camp Wander! Today I grabbed all the ingredients to make this cracked up salve. I noticed as I working on it that the beeswax pastilles didn't melt very well after being on the stove for awhile. So I took my hand mixture to separate and break down the beeswax. I'm hoping it will turn out the same, because these feet need some TLC. Thanks for the great info on your site!
Sending you an e-mail right now regarding interest in purchasing.
I am desperately trying to find a good cream to remedy my son's bumpy skin, which I believe to be from his allergies as well as some dryness. I think that this might be it, but my question is this: I keep reading that heat can make essential oils less effective. Is that the case with this?
Robin you add the EOs to the jar and pour the melted oils over them, they aren't involved with the melting process at all. Also, the oils have a low melt temp., they never reach a state of high temperature :)
thanks for the recipe, just made some jars ! smell good in my house =)
Hi Rebecca, I noticed that jars were to hard for application this morning. there is too much beeswax on it, have you a solution for me ? can I melt this recipe one more time ? I would like to put some olive oil on it, do you think its a good idea ?
Can I make this w/o beeswax? thanks!
shea butter is also from a tree nut :(
maybe a really high quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil?
I made this after seeing it here on your blog. I use this one on my chapped lips too. Last longer than lip balm and heals quickly. Thanks.
I love, love, love this salve. It puts Neosporin to shame. We don,t even cover our wounds anymore, unless of course they are very bad, just rub the salve in a couple times a day and off we go. I've used it as a mousturizer, deoderant and for chapped lips.
Rebecca, I've got a personal question to ask about the oils you sell. Is there anyway to ask other than this public forum?
You can send me an email:
rebecca@campwander.com
Love this and will be making my second batch soon so my college girls can take some back to school with them! : )Both play college soccer and the goalie daughter has been using this salve to heal the nasty burns on her elbows and legs she receives from diving and it heals them wonderfully. I have also made the anti-aging salve using this base recipe and would definitely recommend.Thanks so much for sharing this! : )
Using LLP and Frankincense what would this be used for?
Hi Rebecca,
I am having trouble getting the correct bottles for the silver roll top....I now have so many of each and they don't fit! Can you give me a website to go to to purchase the ones you recommend?

I was wondering if using expeller pressed coconut oil vs cold pressed coconut oil would make much of a difference in the recipe, all I have at home is expeller pressed
What is the shelf life on this?
I say approximately 8 months, but it's varied depending on the temp in the house and the coconut oil used.
Ms Rebecca I just received the oil and beeswax as well as some oils (lavender, mint and eucalyptus. I wish to make a salve to help my husband whose knees are always hurting (22 yrs airborne in the Army took a toll on his knees) and then, I want to try some of the recipes I have added to my Pinterest board. The oil I received seems to be liquid not solid. Is that ok? will it solidify? thanks in advance.
Hi there! If you live in a warm climate (above 76 degrees indoors), the coconut will stay in liquid form. You might want to refrigerate the jar until the oil solidifies so you can measure it out properly before making the salve :)
Hi,
Can you confirm is the 4 T (tablespoons) and the 1/2 t (teaspoon). I'm just guessing the capital T means tablespon and lower means teaspoon. I'm from Australia and it's not a measure I'm familiar with.
thanks, Karen.
4 T. Beeswax Pastilles
1/2 t. vitamin e oil (optional)

Just got word that a sore my dad has on his leg that a wound clinic has been treating tested positive for MRSA. I've been wanting to make this salve anyway but haven't bought the beeswax yet & ran out of lavender. The wounds he gets are like diabetic ulcers but are due to circulation
problems in his legs. What oil combination do you recommend for this & will any if the oils not interact with coumadin? They've been treating with silver patches.
Do the oils "shrink"? Two cups is 16 oz, the directions say 4 - 4oz jars, but you say you only get 2 plus some extra. Also, I have seen 10/5/5 and 10/8/6 for EO being added. Have I missed a post that would clarify what to use?
T is tablespoons, t is teaspoons
Just wondering if you can put this in the plastic jam jars rather than a glass jar?
Also if I want to put this is 1 oz glass jars, as samples to give away, how much EOs do I use per jar?
I'm not sure why the more recent questions are not being answered. I read on another blog that had a recipe for a different, but similar salve, that it needs to be in glass or metal because the heat could melt the plastic.
My guess would be going from 4 oz to 1 oz (dividing by 4), to put 2 1/2 Lavender, 2 Lemon,1 1/2 Melaleuca.
I alway recommend glass as a first choice because pure EOs and plastic aren't compatible (EOs can leach petro-chemicals from plastic)...however, glass isn't always an option. There are some plastics that supposed to be safe to use such as PET plastics but I prefer glass.
If you're filling lots of small containers, add all the EOs to the entire recipe and then pour the jars. Much faster!
Why can this salve be used on dogs but not cats? Tea Tree oil is my all time favorite EO. My husband says it smells like furniture polish, but I still use it. A few weeks ago he took a tumble and had a nasty cut on his forehead and a couple of fingers...I was surprised when HE asked me to put some TT oil on his injuries and they healed quite nicely. (he still said it smells like furniture polish)
In re: to cats, tea tree/melaleuca essential oil can be toxic for cats - their livers have a hard time processing melaleuca and citrus oils.
Melaleuca is awesome, I agree!
if you can't find pastilles grated beeswax works too. I purchase beeswax from a local beekeeper, he sells it in block form
Do you know if it is ok to wait for the oils and beeswax to cool before adding the EOs. I heard something about not heating up the EO, but not sure why.
Makalani, you can wait until the base cools and stir in the EOs later. If you're going to go that route, I would pour the entire recipe of melted coconut and olive oil into a metal bowl, let it cool down, add all of your EOs (enough for five 4 oz jars), blend everything together with a whisk and then spoon into the jars.
I am very new to this but I'm wondering if the basic recipe is the Beeswax, coconut oil and olive oil and then choose the oils for the properties (such as the birch, white fir and Frankincense for headaches) from another blog post you have. OR do you always add in the Lemon, Lavender and Melalecua PLUS the other oils.
Also, did I read right in a comment where you want to use 1 cup of solid coconut oil (not 1 liquid cup)? Thank you!
If you want to create your own blends of salve, you would omit the Healing Salve EOs. Measuring out solid would reflect the the recipe best as that's how I make it :)
Great, thank you for the clarification.
HOLA... IS IT OK TO USE INSIDE THE MOUTH... LIKE ON AN ABSCESS? THANK U ♥
If you use all organic ingredients, yes. You might try just the coconut oil with some Melaleuca and Shield.
COOL... THANK U ♥ :)
Rebecca - Can you post a link to the beeswax that you get on Amazon?? I want to make sure I'm getting the right stuff!!!
Is there an advantage to using the mason jars from Walmart with the metal lids over buying glass jars from AromaTools?
JellyBelly, did you determine how much you should use of the beeswax powder? Thanks!
Hi - I'm allergic to coconut. Would you have suggestions on an alternative? Thank you.
I love this salve! I actually poured it into travel sized deodorant roll up tubes and extra large lip balm tubes. I keep some in the refrigerator (great when you have a burn or sunburn or even bug bite) and carry one with me at all times. I use it all the time and have given some away to friends to use also. I found that cuts have healed much faster using it, and those darn mosquito bites are soothed by it. I think I want to try your different blends of it too, but need to find a way to mark them! Thank you so much for all your great ideas you let us in on! I have used quite a few of your, and your sister's ;) recipes for things.
I was contemplating making some jars of this for Christmas gifts, but one of my friends is highly allergic to olive oil. Any suggestions for a substitution?
You could substitute avocado or apricot for olive oil I do believe :) I've never done so but it should be fine!
I have never done this before so I have a question. Is the coconut oil a liquid form when measuring or firm? The oil I have is firm.
Firm :)
I was wondering if it has to be virgin olive oil, or can it just be regular olive oil?
Also, would it matter if I left out the melaleuca?
You can use virgin olive oil, yes.
Melaleuca has strong anti-fungal properties, I think it's an important addition :)
I want to put some of this into tins, so we can take them with us on the go. Do I just add the EO's to the entire jar after it's melted before pouring into my tins/jars? Also, I was wondering if I make some 4 oz jars and add the EO's before adding the coconut and olive oils, how do they all mix together? Thanks ! :)
Hi in your recipe for the naked salve it says it fills 5 - 4 oz jars and in your recipe for the Healing Salve it says it fills 4-4 oz jars. Just wondering which one it is. Thanks so much for all your recipes. I'm making the warming salve now for Reynauds, I hope this helps.
Yes, go ahead and mix the EOs into the entire batch, then pour. It's too tedious to add small amounts of oils to tiny containers :) When pouring a larger jar like a 4oz one, the EOs will disperse and blend with the coconut and olive oil. However, you can choose to stir them in too.
I just received my salve's and was wondering on the healing salve. I just applied to some the the bottom's of my husbands feet right from the jar . What I'm understanding I don't need to add any anything or the oils I should say to this
Correct, the oils are already added :)
Rebecca, I make something very similar to this and it is received very very well. The one major difference that I do is that I infuse the olive oil with calendula petals from my herb garden. It seems to just give a little boost. I don't know if it really does, but it works, so I haven't changed that. I used to only use infused oils rather than essential oils, then I slowly started adding the ones that I can not grow easily. Now, I must confess to getting lazy in my herb work and reaching for more and more essential oils as they are already 'ready' and available. But, for some reason, I have not shed my calendula oil that I make. I use it in place of straight virgin olive oil in nearly any ointment bases. Just thought I would share. (I know you can purchase this as an essential oil as well, but I have as of this point forced myself to not abandon my homemade versions:)
heidim
That's sounds like a fabulous addition Heidi, I love calendula as well as the use of fresh herbs - keep the art alive :)
I made this as Christmas gifts and everybody is raving about it. I used rose oil for most, and lemon for a couple. I made myself one of each.
I think I might try a harder version with more beeswax to carry in my purse, maybe in a tiny tin. Sorta a cross between salve and a very light solid perfume.
I saw somewhere that you sold a kit with healing salve but I can't find it …..can you help ?
Here you go!
http://campwander.blogspot.com/2013/12/cw-holiday-salve-sampler.html
I have made this exact healing salve in the past. I love love it! I had terrible eczema on my legs and I started using it when I got out of the shower. Amazing! It is the ONLY thing that keeps my skin from drying and splitting. A little goes a long way and keeps you moisturized ALL day. The only thing I did different was to leave out the EO's. My skin is ultra sensitive, so I use as many unscented things as possible. This is GREAT stuff!
So if I wanted to make the warming lotion, can I add the Black Pepper Oil to this lotion? And if so, how much Black Pepper Oil would I add per ounce (so I can adjust for a 2 oz jar and a 4 oz jar)? Also, can I add a different oil if I do not like the smell of the pepper? I am new this! :) My son's girlfriend has Renaud's and we are wondering if this might help her discomfort?
Nadia, you would switch out the Healing blend EOs for the Black Pepper. I use 90 drops of the Black Pepper per 4 oz jar. I hope this helps!
Has anyone ever used this for tattoos?
I've never done anything like this.where may I find all these ingredients.??
Nice article and interesting information about the foot healing cream, nice work.
