Here are some of the best herbs for herbal salves: But if you only have access to fresh herbs, then use what you’ve got.
I prefer dried herbs because they’re easier to find, especially when it comes to more medicinal herbs, and they’re less likely to mold or release water during the infusion process. You can use any herbs you like-fresh or dried-in your herbal salve. Yes, it does take longer, but it’s worth it. To get the most oomph from your herbs, I recommend infusing them slowly over the course of several weeks rather than simmering them on the stove. Because herbs are finicky, you don’t want to expose them to tons of heat or you may damage the nutrients that make them so healing. Just a jar, herbs, oil, and wax are all that’s required for making your own medicinal balm at home. Heck, you don’t even need a giant cauldron or lots of equipment. While the term “herbal salve” often calls to mind the image of a witchy woman hovering over a large pot of herbs, in truth, salves are anything but complicated (or even witchy, for that matter).
