Balm of Gilead recipe: soothe your skin
This balm is absolutely amazing. I was on a pursuit to find an all-around balm recipe that would support the body in its natural response to head tension, skin irritations, dry skin, and more. I was really intrigued by the Balm of Gilead spoken of in the Bible. As I looked into it a little more it seemed the absolute perfect fit for creating a one-for-all balm.
So, when Maddy and I went to whip a batch up we added some other nutrient rich oils that sink deep into the skin quickly.
Just a few of the health benefits are listed in the above graphic. Each one of these oils could stand alone with the many benefits they provide, together this balm is dense with some skin-loving support. Ten years ago I would have never guessed a balm applied to the skin could soak in to fuel your body with the added love it needed for a mood shift or a tummy ache?
Toss the following into a double boiler to melt:
1/4 ounce beeswax
1/4 ounce candelilla wax
1/4 ounce kpangan butter or shea butter
1 ounce jojoba oil
once melted remove from heat and add:
1 ounce balm of gilead herbal oil
.5 ounce St. John’s Wort
.5 ounce Prickly Pear
4 drops myrrh
4 drops ylang ylang
4 drops elevation blend
mix thoroughly + pour into a 4 oz. jar.
and voila! You have one incredible balm that could be used for so very many things.
Enjoy!!!!
