Homemade Healing Salve

Essential Oils

A simple yet effective homemade healing salve that helps support skin during basic cuts, bruises and scrapes – and provide a little extra relief.

This homemade healing salve requires a few simple ingredients & is perfect for cuts, scrapes, burns, and times when your skin needs an extra little help.

Late last week I found myself looking for a really good all purpose healing salve ~ not just for myself but for my kids.

Ouch and Ouch!

I had picked up a new mandoline and was using it to make beet chips when I sliced my finger. As careful as I was trying to be, obviously I wasn’t careful enough!

My finger hurt so bad for hours, and now it’s a week later and it’s still very sore. I taped it up as best as I could and changed that tape out several times over, but no matter how much I took care of it, having to wash dishes and do housework all day didn’t help to heal it any faster.

I decided to make a healing salve that I could use and share with my kids. With 5 kids, someone is always bumping themselves outside and coming in with cuts and scrapes.  

So this would kind of work like a Neosporin in a sense that it would help heal the affected area a little quicker.

This homemade healing salve requires a few simple ingredients & is perfect for cuts, scrapes, burns, and times when your skin needs an extra little help.

I have avoided using Neosporin for years because it contains petroleum. This healing salve is perfect for cuts, scrapes, burns, and times when your skin needs a little extra help.

This healing salve is incredibly easy to make. Make it in large batches by doubling the recipe or, use the recipe to make 2 smaller jars.

We use Ball Canning jelly jars because they are relatively inexpensive.

How to Make an All Purpose Healing Salve

Ingredients

  • 1/2 C. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 C. unrefined coconut oil
  • 2 Tbsp beeswax pellets
  • Tea Tree Essential Oil
  • Lavender Essential Oil

Instructions

  1. In a glass canning jar, combine the coconut oil, olive oil and beeswax.
  2. Pop in the microwave and melt at 25 second intervals until completely liquified.
  3. Carefully remove from the microwave – remember, it’s glass so the jar will be somewhat hot.
  4. Allow to sit for a minute or two on the countertop, then add the essential oils – use any combination you wish.  The essential oil usage rate is 1% of your oil weight.
  5. stir to combine, then pour immediately into (2) 4 oz jelly jars.
  6. Push to the rear of the counter, and cover with a paper towel.
  7. The jars will harden as they cool – recipe makes (2) 4 oz jars.
