Roman Healing Salve

30ml. Agrimony, Lavender, Marigold, Comfrey, Olive Oil, Beeswax and Vitamin E

I make this balm the same way the Romans did using an ancient recipe from Dioscorides, a famous Greek physician who was employed to tend to the Roman army. The only difference, as far as I am aware, is that I add vitamin E as a preservative.

The herbs are infused into olive oil and then melted into beeswax. The image below shows the herbs infusing in the oil in sunlight, this step of the process takes 3 to 4 weeks.
