Notes
Oils have varying properties:
Hemp seed and tamanu oils are renown for healing;
Sweet almond is a good base oil, as is sunflower oil.
Add more beeswax for a firmer ointment, more oil for a softer one.
Use infused oils, like calendula oil, for the greater healing power of the herbs. Make sure these oils are part of your base carrier oil.
