Indian Borage Balm
Specially made for insect bites and itch.
It is suitable for babies too
Because I used all organic ingredients.
Ingredients A
150g dry weight of Indian borage leaves
150g coconut oil
Ingredients B
100g Indian Borage oil
25g organic beeswax
25g Shea butter (optional)
Method:
Step No. 1
1) wash Indian borage leaves and air to dry for 2 to 3 days
2) weigh 150g dried leaves
3) put 150g coconut oil into a sauce pan
4) put on medium to low heat, add the leaves slowly, reduce the heat if too hot
5) stir occasionally as you fry the leaves
6) when less bubbles appear in the oil it will soon be ready
7) the leaves will turn dark and crispy, off the heat
8) let cool & strain the oil for later use
Step No.2
1) Weigh 100g the cooled oil and put into a cup (able to withstand heat)
2) add 25g beeswax
3) add 25g Shea butter if used
4) put this cup into a small basin of boiling water to heat up the oil
5) stir until the beeswax has dissolved
6) remove from the hot water & pour into the balm containers
7) if thicken, can bring it back to the basin of hot water.
8) let the balm cool down, and cover until required.
