Thanks everyone for all of this great information, I'm just getting started. Anyone making salves with rose petals or violet leaves? I'm starting out with plantain, calendula and lemon balm. Will the violet and or rose add anything these don't already provide?
I forgot to tell you the amount of each dry herb, I used +/- one third cup of each, more or less. I guess that I used more of the calendula than the other two, because when you buy calendula you recieve the whole dried flower head and I feel that the healing power was in the petals.
Place everything in a clean old half gallon mason jar and let it sit in a dark cabinet for a full cycle of the moon.
