We prepare all our infused oils ourselves using very low heat. The plant material is infused in extra virgin olive oil for a minimum of 2 weeks at 100 deg. F. which allows the full extraction of the medicinal properties of each herb. We do not infuse SJW ourselves. Shelf life of our infused oils: One year when tightly capped, stored in a cool place away from light and heat.

° Ointments and salves are easily made from infused oils.

° Pour one ounce of infused oil into a very small pan.

° Grate a tablespoon of beeswax and add it to the oil.

° Place the pan on low heat; a candle flame will suffice.

° Stir constantly until the beeswax is totally melted. This rarely takes more than a minute or two.

° Pour the liquid into your ointment jar and allow to cool and solidify.

° If the consistency is too hard, remelt and add more infused oil.

° If the consistency is too soft, remelt and add more beeswax.

TIPS from Camden-Grey: Keep a metal teaspoon near the pot, dip the spoon in the melted mixture and immediately place it in the freezer for 2-3 minutes. Take it out. This will let you know the consistency you have. If you need it thicker, add more beeswax. If you need it thinner, add more oil, remelt the mixture. Make sure your ointment jars and lids are thoroughly clean, perhaps even wiping them with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel, allow to fully dry. Do not cap the lid while still hot, allow the mixture to thoroughly cool to avoid condensation forming inside the lid.
