Drawing Salve w/ Activated Charcoal

12/18/2023

0 Comments

This activated charcoal drawing salve is known to help draw out splinters, boils, and insect bites.
Place small amount on the offending spot, then cover with a bandage for at least 12 hours. Repeat as needed. Please test on a small area of your skin to make sure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup castor oil (or any organic oil) - I used 1/2 castor oil and 1/2 my infused lemon balm oil.
1/4 cup beeswax
2 tbsp activated charcoal
2 tbsp bentonite clay powder
essential oils of your choice

DIRECTIONS

In a small double boiler, first melt the beeswax, then once that has completely melted add the castor oil, activated charcoal, and bentonite clay. DO NOT use any metal spoons or mixing bowls that will come in contact with the mixture.
Once mixture is all melted and combined, remove from heat and add your essential oils and stir to combine. For the one I just made - I used the following Organic Essential Oils: 10 drops Sage, 10 drops Clove, and 5 drops Tangerine. If you don't have animals in the house I would recommend using Tea Tree and Frankincense.
Pour in amber (or dark colored) jars. I used 2 oz amber colored jars and it filled 4 of them.

It will look a little chunky at first, but the more it melts, the smoother it gets.

When pouring into jars, the mixture might start to set up, don't worry, just put the container you are using back in the boiling water until it melts all the way again. Do not have the heat on.
