Willow Branch Botanicals Black Draw Salve Recipe

We offer everything to make this Salve in the online store, Just Click the blue links to be taken to the store for the kit. We hope you enjoy the Willow Branch Black Draw Salve recipe and find it very useful! Feel Free to experiment of course. 

• 6 tablespoons infused Olive Oil* (See infusion note below)
• 2 tablespoons Castor Oil
• 2 teaspoons Bees Wax
• 3 teaspoons activated charcoal
• 3 teaspoons Kaolin Clay 
• Essential Oils: 30 drops lavender, 15 drops tea tree

*The olive oil should first be infused with an herb such as calendula, plantain, and/or dandelion. Follow these easy steps to infuse your own oils. The same oil infusions can be used for many other recipes. 

Tip: you’ll want to be sure to store the finished salve in a glass container since glass is non-reactive. Combine oils and beeswax in a heat proof container.

1. Set the container down in a saucepan containing a few inches of water, forming a make-shift double boiler.
2. Heat over a medium-low burner, until beeswax has melted.
3. Remove from heat and stir in essential oils, charcoal and clay.
4. You may need to add a little extra clay if you’d like a thicker consistency.
5. Immediately pour into glass containers.

This recipe fills one- 4oz jar or two- 2oz glass jars. We suggest the Amber colored containers. Store in a cool, dark place. The Black Draw Salve should stay good for up to 12 months but ours never seems to stay unused that long.
