I’m working on a wonderful herbal oil infusion that I will be adding to salves and other body care products. This wonderfully medicinal infusion is made with calendula, lavender, peppermint, yarrow and Chamomile which will infuse for about 4 weeks to get all of the amazing healing properties infused into the oil. I’m drying out some rosemary and Biden’s pilosa which I will add in the next day or so. Calendula is great for the skin with antiseptic properties to help heal wounds, UV protectant and prevents signs of aging. Yarrow, Also known as the all heal plant or life medicine, is often used as an astringent and heals sores. Lavender is a good soothing herb for the skin as well as an antibacterial herb. Peppermint is calming, softening, toning and a great antiseptic for the skin. Chamomile is a soothing antioxidant herb which will calm red, dry and irritated skin. I may have gone a little overboard with all of the herbs I used, but it felt right and they are all so healing for the skin.
What is your favorite skin care routine????
to make, fill a jar with your favorite herbs, fill with oil (I used avocado oil). Sit your oil in the sun everyday for 4 weeks for a wonderful solar infused oil. Strain then its ready to use to make your favorite healing salves.

I made this wonderful muscle salve for my hardworking husband. I made this using Young Living Essential Oils of peppermint, camphor, wintergreen, thieves, blue tansy, organic coconut oil, bees wax and olive oil. Next time Id like to add some cayenne for a little extra heat, but overall this turned out to be a nice blend. (the herbs you see in the photo are peppermint and calendula.
