Healing Salve
Topical healing salve with infused coconut oil and beeswax. For external use only — not for consumption.
Recipe Planning Notes
Best for cooks comfortable with timing, yield management, and closer process control.
A firm, smooth salve that melts on contact with skin. The beeswax creates a protective barrier while the infused oil delivers compounds transdermally. Not intoxicating when used topically — localized effects only.

Ingredients
- 120g infused coconut oil
- 30g beeswax pellets
- 10 drops lavender essential oil (optional)
- 5 drops peppermint essential oil (optional)
- Small tins or jars for storage
How to Make It
- 1Melt beeswax in a double boiler over low heat.
- 2Add infused coconut oil and stir until fully combined.
- 3Remove from heat. Add essential oils if using.
- 4Pour into tins or small jars while still liquid.
- 5Let cool and solidify at room temperature (1-2 hours).

Pro Tips
- ★More beeswax = firmer salve. Start with a 4:1 oil-to-wax ratio and adjust.
- ★Test firmness by dropping a small amount on a cold plate — it sets in seconds.
- ★Peppermint oil adds a cooling sensation that complements the topical effects.
Serving Ideas
Apply a small amount to sore muscles, joints, or dry skin. Rub in thoroughly. Use as needed — topical application has no standard "dose" in the traditional sense.
Substitutions
No Double boiler? Use Slow cooker on low
Set to low/warm for 2-4 hours, stir occasionally
No Double boiler? Use Mason jar in simmering water

Slower but effective
Switch coconut_oil to mct_oil
Flavor: More neutral and less coconut-forward.
Potency handling: Dose handling is similar, but liquid MCT is easier to portion precisely.
Texture: Thinner and better for droppers, capsules, and drinks than for gummies or baking.
Use when you want a pourable oil rather than a semi-solid carrier.
