How to make balm using petroleum jelly?
Answers:
I used to produce ointments near petroleum jelly.
First I condensed the healing properties of herb into a liquid to prevent mold; after I placed a few drops of the liquid herbal concentrate surrounded by a container of petroleum jelly and blended; and they ointments worked excelent.
I used to condence almost 5 pounds of herbs into 4 OZs of gooey.
If you have the actual herb where you own to heat the remains material; I don;t reflect on petroleum jelly would re-jell; and since petroleum jelly is made from petroleum; it may be dangerous to steam the base. You could other use lard or vegetable shortening for the plinth.
To make an salve with fresh or dried herb; you would start with 1 cup pg grease or vegetable shortening or lard, and 1/4th cup pf the herb.
Put both the herbs and the remnant in a container and heat until the remnant material melt, and keep applying boil until the herbs turn brown or black. Filter the herb out of the base and discard, pour the underneath material into a container and set in the refrigerator. and allow the podium to set.
I never use beeswax; so I can't tell you the proportions for beeswax.
The gel I made had three herb Calendula oficinalis, Plantago Major, and antirrhinum linaria.
I own made many influential aromatherapy balms using aloe vera gel my instincts steer me away from petroleum products as they give the impression of being to be harsher for the skin and some people enjoy allergies to petroleum products .. i cannot use beeswax myself !! lol !!!good luck
