1: Mix all herbs together

2: Infuse the herbs into the oil. You can do this by mixing the herbs and cold oil in a jar and leaving for 3, 4 days, or, heating on low heat for 3 hours

3: Strain the herbs from the oil using a cheese cloth

4: Discard herbs in compost bin

5: On a low heat use a bain, marie (a heat proof glass bowl over a pan with hot water in it is fine) to melt the soy wax into the herb infused oil

6: Once all soy wax has melted and is invisible, turn off heat and leave to cool for 2, 3 minutes

7: Decant into glass cosmetics jars and as the oil cools it will set and change colour

8: Once set and no longer hot screw lid onto container

9: Use on cuts, bites, stings, nappy rash (but not with cloth nappies unless using a liner) and other wounds as needed
