Salve

I made salve once again. I first tried making salve two years ago... and my supply (on top of giving a bunch away to friends) has lasted up to this year. It quickly became an essential part of the medicine cabinet so it was easy to decide to make again. I went out and collected flowers and herbs and weeds and warmed them in a crock pot for about a week. Things like plantain, elderflower, red clover, comfrey root powder, yarrow leaf, common mallow and wild rose petals. This time I ordered some cute jars off of Amazon and they arrived just in time for me to add wax to the salve and jar it.

Here are some pictures of the process:
