You know,into parts, teaspoons, whatever. :-)Thanks for any help,TerriLynne********Here is another one for eczema that I have had for quite some time.Sorcy’s Xcema BalmIngredients:Batch 1: Infused oils:(2) Comfrey leaves in Jojoba(2) Calendula Blossoms in Olive (cold pressed first pressing nativevirgin EXTRA)(2) Cleavers in Olive (or jojoba if you're rich)(optional: add a pinch of chapparal and chickweed. I've beenmaking incredible rinses with them lately, and will alter therecipe next time accordingly)Batch 2: Cold pressed, pure oils (essential)(2) Avocado(2) SJWBatch 3: Base:(1) Bees wax(4) Cocoa Butter(1) Shea ButterBatch 4: Pure Gel, no additives/preservatives(4) Aloe Vera (if oil instead of gel, 2 parts instead of 4)Batch 5: Precious (read: expensive) Essential oils (pure, cold pressed)Evening Primrose, 1 Tbs.Orange, 50 dropsVitamin E capsules, 10 large (or 20 small - NO cheapos!!!)Instructions:Warm batch 1 & 2 over low heat. Add batch 3 and stir carefully untilmelted. Shut off heat but leave on burner. With a wisk, whip in batch4(careful,tends to clumb... aloe is waterbased and does NOT want to be withoils... if you have a source, you can buy aloe essential oil, thatmakes it easier)Now stir relentlessly until the batch is entirely cooled down or it willstill separate on you. At this stage, you can still add more oils ormore meltedwax/butter if you're not happy with the result. Simply warm (not heat)the batch up again.When consistency is to your liking and mix is cool, add batch 5. Storecool, but not in fridge. Will last several months (so far, I haven'tseen it spoiled,but we use it before it could....)--Peace be with you,Don "Quai" Eitner How low will we go?
