I missed a small portion at the beginning did you give a recipe for jewel weed salve? I have been needing to learn about it and haven’t seemed to have much luck so far.
The jewelweed salve is made with the same basic salve instructions that I gave for the green salve or calendula blossom salve. You put your jewelweed in a heavy sauce pan, just cover with oil of your choice, then simmer for 1-3 hours. After that, you’ll add about 2 ounces of shredded beeswax. Pour it into your containers and allow to cool undisturbed. If its too soft you can remelt and add more beeswax.
Just finished listening to the broadcast and I really enjoyed it. It was the first I have listened to live and I plan to listen to more, so glad I didn’t miss it.
LeeAnna, I’m really glad you got to listen and that you enjoyed it! Thank you for letting me know.
