Pain Reliever Salve

- Mix together 1 once of chickweed
(reduces inflammation and aids in healing),
1 ounce of wormwood (a great pain reliever),
and 1 ounce of yarrow
(an anti-bacterial agent that helps relieve pain).
The yarrow plant contains achillein and achilleic acid.
These substances reduce the clotting time of blood,
so they help stop any bleeding.
Yarrow has pain-killing and anit-inflammatory
properties that are simular to asprin.
Add the mixture of herbs to 2 pints
of olive oil and simmer 3 hours.
Strain and add 3 ounces of beeswax
and 1 teaspoon of tincture of benzoin.
Test for consistency before pouring
into wide mouth containers.
