About a month ago, one of my children suffered a minor burn. I realized that we didn\u2019t have any burn salve on hand, but\u2026 I did have LOTS of Calendula and Olive oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut to today, I had a patient reschedule their appointment which left me with a free afternoon. My calendula oil has finally finished its infusion process and was ready to decant, but\u2026 There was a bit of oil that wouldn\u2019t fit into my beautifully repurposed oil bottle so\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I repurposed a couple of glass pots,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

added some beeswax (of which I also have LOTS)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and now<\/p>\n\n\n\n

not only do I have calendula oil<\/strong> which would have worked fine in my first aid pantry<\/p>\n\n\n\n

but also<\/p>\n\n\n\n

calendula salve<\/strong> which will be much more portable\/easy to apply and which also doubles as a lip balm (go figure!).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What a lovely afternoon of spontaneous medicine making \ud83d\ude0c<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE: The little one had an earache recently and I was able to use a little of this oil warmed to ease her symptoms<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
