DIY - Homemade Antiseptic Ointment

This recipe is similar to one I make myself and thought I would share:




This antiseptic ointment is a breeze to make and is not only completely natural, it is also nontoxic so if you use it on your animals and they lick it it's not a problem.

Antiseptic Ointment 
2-1/2 ounces beeswax
3/4 cup olive or coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon liquid vitamin E (helps repair damaged skin)
10 drops lavender essential oil (relaxant, pain reliever, antibacterial, anti-fungal)
10 drops lemon essential oil (antibacterial, antiviral)


Melt beeswax with olive or coconut oil over low heat in a double boiler or a glass bowl set on top of a saucepan of boiling water. 
Remove from heat and stir in oils until well mixed.

Pour into a small metal or glass container and allow to cool and firm up. Store in a cool dry place and apply as needed to cuts and scrapes.
