Ointment

(soothing, healing salve for cold sores, rashes and burns)

3 ounces fresh calendula herb
5 to 6 ounces beeswax
1 quart almond oil

Mix the calendula and almond oil and heat overnight at 175 degrees F or medium heat. Use a crockpot if you have one. Strain the oil and place over heat. Stir the beeswax into it. When the mixture melts to a thick, paste-like consistency, pour into tins or jars. To store, keep containers tightly covered.
