Roman Joint Salve – 30ml

30ml Nettle seed, Organic Rosemary, Organic Beeswax, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil 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 images below show the individual  herbs infusing in the oil in sunlight, this step of the process takes 3 to 4 weeks.
