Make Your Own Natural Ointments for
Healing
Natural Ointments are easy products to make at home. They have many uses
for problem skin types. They are used mostly on dry, cracked skin and
for minor injuries to the skin. To make Natural Ointments you will
need a stainless steel saucepan, a bowl, a whisk, a spatula, and a
thermometer (up to 100°C) as well as the ingredients.
A simple base Natural Ointment can be made from Vegetable
Oils and Beeswax. The Vegetable
Oils nourish the skin whilst at the same time softening and protecting
it. The Beeswax protects the
skin whilst giving the ointment its consistency. The more Beeswax you
add, the harder the Natural Ointment will be and the more Vegetable
Oil you add, the softer it will be.
