DREAMY NIGHT TIME SALVE
Use this salve for restful sleep and pleasant dreams. Appy to the temples before bedtime.
1/2 Cup Dried Mugwort
1/4 Cup Dried Rosemary Leaf
1/8 Cup Dried Spearmint Leaf
1/4 Cup Dried Calendula Flowers
1/4 Cup Dried Sage Leaf
1/8 Cup Dried Lavender Flowers
12 Ounces Olive Oil (Extra Virgin, Cold Pressed)
1 Ounce Beeswax
1 Tablespoon Vitamin E Oil
Put the herbs into an double boiler pan and cover the herbs with the oil. Heat the oil over low heat for about 3 hours. Cool oil-herb mixture and strain through a sieve lined with cheesecloth into a glass canning jar. When most of the oil has been strained, pick up the edges of the cheesecloth with the herbs intact inside and squeeze the remaining oil from the herbs as possible into the glass jar. Add the beeswax and reheat in a pan with a few inches of water in it until the beeswax melts. Remove from heat and allow to cool. If you find you want the mixture to be harder, add more beeswax and reheat until it melts. If not, add the vitamin E oil or any other essential oils you might want to add to the mixture (such as Tea Tree Oil). Blend well and pour your salve into containers and store in the refrigerator for use.
HEALING SALVE INGREDIENTS
BEESWAX AS AN EMULSIFIER
Pure, unrefined beeswax has a golden color and the sweet smell of honey. It is used to thicken natural lotions, salves, lip balms and creams. It also acts as an emulsifier to help bind oils and water together.
Mountain Rose Herbs: Beeswax
A wonderful substance secreted by worker honeybees. This line of pure, filtered, cosmetic grade bees wax comes from the Pacific Northwest by beekeepers that Mountain Rose Herbals have a wonderful working relationship with. This beautiful wax is the finest they have ever acquired; producing a very fragrant, clean, and perfectly filtered product without the debris and muddy color found in typical waxes. Use it for cosmetics, salves, body care products, lotions and you can melt it down to make your own aromatic candles. Pure bees wax with no filler, synthetics, debris, or foreign fragrances. Choose from 3 different sizes.
Essential oil of tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia), with its strong, camphor-like odor, is derived by distilling the plant's leaves. It is a broad-spectrum antiseptic that combats bacterial, viral and fungal infections and can be applied directly to cuts, abrasions, nail fungus, athlete's foot, bleeding gums and acne.

CAUTIONS!
There are a number of circumstances in which a healing salve should not be used. Do not use a salve under these conditions:
- When a cut is deeper than 1/4 inch. Instead, see a health care provider immediately for sutures.
- When the injury is bleeding profusely.
- When the wound was caused by a splinter or any other foreign object that cannot be removed with tweezers.
- When the wound is the result of an animal bite, whether the animal is known or unknown.
- When there is any chance that the wound has become infected or that there may be blood poisoning.
- When the skin still feels warm from a burn.

Mountain Rose Herbs: Hydrosols & Flower Waters
Flower waters also known as hydrosols, hydroflorates or distillates are products from the direct steam distillation of whole plant materials. Unlike their "essential oil added to water" counterparts, true steam distilled hydrosols contain all the beneficial components that whole plant materials have to offer, and are more true to their scent. They are wonderful and inexpensive as a facial splash, as a deodorant, an air freshener, in the spa, for skin application, during massage, as a base in your body care recipes, and most may be used in culinary creations. They are moisturizing, fragrant, cooling and contain similar properties as essential oils but in much less concentration, which makes them a lovely alternative to those with sensitivities. Mountain Rose have now expanded their entire line of hydrosols, which have all been distilled in improved stainless steel cookers and processed through certified organic methods. They are excited to offer you these exceptional quality flower waters which are quality control supervised from cultivation to distillation by Mountain Rose Herbs. Each of their 4 oz hydrosols is packaged in an amber bottle with a black mister. The bulk 8 oz, 16 oz ounce and 1 gallon waters are packaged in HDPE plastic bottles.
