Pine Salve Recipe
"There's something so deeply satisfying about turning something as simple as pine needles into a nourishing, all-natural skin remedy you'll reach for again and again! Start by infusing pine needles in a carrier oil for a few weeks, shaking the jar every few days, then strain and melt together with beeswax in a double boiler before stirring in pine essential oil and pouring into small tins to set overnight. The result is a firm, protective balm that soothes dry skin, cracked hands, minor cuts, and sore muscles naturally. Stored away from heat and sunlight, each batch stays fresh for up to a year — a wonderfully thoughtful handmade gift!"
