Making Salve

St. Johns Wort
In June while walking the dog I noticed a new patch of St. John's wort growing!
How excited was I !  
VERY EXCITED!!
I use my 'doggy' bags for collection while out walking ~ I always carry extra in case I see something interesting to collect.
After bringing home the flowers I brought them home, cleaned them up and put them in jars in Olive Oil in the sunny window

This is the end product after sitting in the window for three months, it's a gorgeous color isn't it!
I spent last Friday morning grating beeswax, heating the oil and adding the beeswax!
Here are three of the six pots one jar of oil made!
Beautiful healing ointment
chemical free!

Enjoy....
