Homemade Oregano Salve Recipe
Learn how to make homemade oregano salve with this easy DIY recipe. Use the salve to boost your immune system during the winter months.
Equipment
- small 12 oz mason jar or similar
Ingredients
Infused Oregano Oil
- Dried Oregano
- Carrier oil ex: Jojoba Oil, grapeseed oil, avocado oil
Salve
- 1 cup infused oil
- ¼ cup beeswax
- 20 drops essential oils ex: Lavender, Oregano and/or Frankincense. Use a combined total of 20 drops.
- 2 oz containers
Instructions
Infused Oregano Oil
- Add dried oregano to a jar, making it halfway full.
- Pour the carrier oil on top to completely cover the herb. Let infuse for a few weeks, shaking every now and again. Then strain.
Oregano Salve
- Add infused oil and beeswax to a glass jar and melt slowly in the microwave until all melted. Be sure to mix thoroughly after every 30 second interval.
- Once melted, let it slightly cool down before adding in your essential oils.
- Add to your containers and let harden overnight before putting the lid on.
Notes
- Essential oils are optional but can really level up your salve. I recommend Oregano oil and/or Frankincense oil. If using, use a combined total of around 20 drops. Use more or less depending on your personal preference.
- Any carrier oil will work. I used jojoba oil for this recipe.
