Just felt like waking up one morning and making some homemade calendula salve. Most of these will be used as little gifts for friends and loved ones.

With this recipe, I used calendula, St. Johns wort, and comfrey. I only showed adding the calendula here, but this is actually a calendula, St. John's wort and comfrey salve.

Containers (may contain affiliate codes):
- Vivaplex green glass containers - https://amzn.to/3qZGG8z

Recipe:
- Take dried calendula flowers and infuse in olive oil. Separately do the same for Comfrey and St. John's wort. Shake bottles regularly and let infuse for a few weeks.
- Strain the oil from the infusions through a cheesecloth
- Compost the remaining plant parts
- Place approximately 1 cup of infused oil aside. Add some vitamin E to mixture.
- Use a double boiler and slowly melt 1/4 cup of beeswax over the double boiler.
- Once it fully melts, add the 1 cup of oil over the beeswax and make sure it consistently melts. Stir as needed.
- Before you remove from heat, you can add some drops of your favorite essential oil (I used lavender)
- Before the mixture cools, add to containers.
- Let cool before placing the caps on tightly
- Store in a cool, dark place away from heat and light.

This particular salve can be good for chapped hands, bruises, and burns, for example.
