Homemade Jewelweed Salve Recipe
This is the recipe we use for Jewelweed Salve. We make it every year for each of our retreat locations, to treat skin issues like Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, Nettle Rub, Psoriasis, Eczema, Insects Bites and Stings, Regular Rash, Diaper Rash, Heat Rash. It’s kinda become a little event that everyone ‘looks forward to… ” Jewelweed Weekend”
Homemade Jewelweed Salve .
Materials
fresh jewelweed (enough stems, leaves, and some flowers to fill 2 Mason Jars to 2/3 full)
3 T beeswax pastille
15 drops lavender essential oil (optional)
2c olive oil
1-2 tsp vitamin E (optional for preservative)
Tools
double boiler or a pot and a heat resistant bowl for a make-shift boiler
crockpot
wooden spoon to mix with
glass jar with lid or tins to pour salve into to dry and store
hot pad or oven mitt
Instructions
Rinse the jewelweed clippings and pat dry with clean towel.
Chop or tear jewelweed into small 1 inch pieces and fill a Mason Jar to about 2/3 full, cover with olive oil and set aside.
Place a clean wash cloth or dish cloth at the bottom of your crockpot.
Then add your glass jars on top of the cloth liner and carefully pour water into the pot.
Set your crockpot to low and slow cook for 2-3 hrs.
When complete, strain the jewelweed with an old shirt, cheese cloth, or coffee filter into your jar or metal tin of choice.
Add beeswax pellets to the jars or tins and place in a double boiler to melt with infused oil (if you don’t have a double boiler, you can always use a bowl within a pot).
When the beeswax is combined with the infused oil, stir and cool a bit prior to adding the vitamin E and lavender essential oil.
Once completely cooled, cover with lid and store in a dry and dark spot in your pantry or cabinet.
When processed and stored properly, the salve should last up to a year.
Notes
Be careful not to submerge the jars completely. Use enough water to allow the herbs to infuse, but not cook or dry out.
