INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup dried calendula flowers
1/4 cup dried plantain leaves
1/2 cup olive oil
1 oz beeswax
Small jar or tin

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Infuse the olive oil with calendula and plantain: Place herbs and oil in a double boiler or heatproof jar in a pot of water. Heat on low for 2-3 hours, ensuring the oil doesn’t burn.
2. Strain the herbs from the oil using cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer.
3. Return the oil to the double boiler and add the beeswax.
4. Stir until the beeswax melts, then pour into a clean jar or tin.
5. Let cool and solidify before use. This salve works wonders on cuts, scrapes, and dry skin.

INGREDIENTS
2 quarts of water
1 organic whole lemon (zest and then quartered)
2-3" of fresh ginger root
2-3" of fresh turmeric (if you can't find it, you can use 1 tbsp of powdered - or more to taste)
dash of chili powder
1/4 tsp black pepper

DIRECTIONS
1. Place water in saucepan and heat over medium.
2. Grate ginger & turmeric and add to water. If you are using turmeric powder add that now.
3. Zest a washed (preferably organic) lemon over the saucepan, making sure to only get the yellow and not the white parts.
4. Once zested, cut lemon into quarters and squeeze the juice into the water, then add the lemon quarters to the water.
5. Add chili powder and black pepper to the water.
6. Stir and bring to a low boil. Boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. At the end of the 10 minutes, remove the mixture from the heat and allow to cool.
8. Once cooled, strain mixture with a cheesecloth (use one that you won't mind getting stained. The turmeric stains very easily) and put in fridge to chill. We put the main batch in a half-gallon mason jar but on busy weeks we fill half-pint jars so we can just grab-n-go.
9. Add honey or stevia to taste and enjoy!

LILAC OIL INFUSION
INGREDIENTS

• Fresh lilac flowers and leaves
• Carrier oil (such as coconut oil or olive oil)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Place petals of the lilacs in a glass jar.
2. Pour the carrier oil over the lilacs until they are fully submerged.
3. Seal the jar and store it in a cool, dark place for 2-4 weeks to allow the infusion to develop.
4. After the infusion period, strain out the flowers and leaves from the oil.

LILAC TONER
​Lilac blossoms and leaves possess astringent qualities, which can help to firm and mildly dry the skin, making them beneficial for individuals with oily or acne-prone skin. Try preparing the Lilac Toner provided below, or simply apply Lilac Infusion to your face after cleansing.
​Lilac also serves as an excellent tonic for both hair and scalp. Gently massage Lilac Infusion onto your scalp to fortify your hair from the roots and alleviate dandruff concerns.
