I had left some plantain and chickweed sitting in separate jars of olive oil in order to complete the first step in creating another type of medicine, salves. They sat for 10 days. After the days were up, it was time to add in the beeswax. I strained the chunks of herbs out of the concoction while 1oz of beeswax heated up in a saucepan (Per each type of salve). After the beeswax began to melt, i stirred in the infused oil and kept stirring until everything was completely mixed and melted together. The last step was to pour the mixture into the final jar. I also separated my tinctures into more user friendly little bottles. As far as my teas go, I have two types of herbs. Catnip and Dandelion. The herbs are dried and ready to be used, and simply need the addition of hot water in order to be ready to consume.
