Home Remedy for Burn

Make this simple lavender burn home remedy... a herbal salve for burns, bites and bruises (and cuts!)




This easy to make home remedy for burn, bites, bruises and cuts relieves pain, speeds up the healing process and reduces scarring. Plus, it smells wonderful!


A simple lavender salve, this recipe uses shea butter and other healing oils, herbs and essential oils to make a gentle yet powerful healer for damaged skin.


A salve is simply a healing ointment for the skin, usually a base of beeswax and oil. Herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years to heal injuries. Herbal salve recipes have been in existence about that long too - because they work!


Lavender Home Remedy for Burn

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Shea Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Beeswax, grated
  • 1 tablespoon Virgin Coconut oil, Sweet Almond oil or Rosehip oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon (or 1 capsule) Vitamin E
  • 10 drops Lavender essential oil

Directions

  1. Place the shea butter, beeswax and oil in the top part of a double boiler, warming slowly over a low heat until they're melted
  2. Remove from heat and add the lavender essential oil and vitamin E.
  3. Pour into a dark glass or PET plastic jar. Store in a cool, dark place.

Note: Increasing the beeswax will make the salve more solid, while increasing the oil will make it softer.
