Aromatherapy Salve

Source: Great Life, June 1998 - Recipe by Kathi Keville

2 ounce jar herbal salve
15 drops tea tree essential oil
5 drops thyme essential oil

Using a toothpick, stir oils into salve. Apply to the injury as needed.

Notes: Scrapes and Cuts - A salve soothes fast. Tea tree, lavender, lemon and thyme all fight germs. Lavender, lemon, thyme, and chamomile (in this order) increase the number of white blood cells, which gobble up infection.

Lemon and tea tree oils speed the healing. You can make your own salve from scratch, but an easier route is to buy one already made and add oils to it.
