This is a Badge Bit (BB) that is part of the PEP Curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Natural Medicine.

For this BB you will create a salve out of ginger root.

Make the ginger root salve, and take a picture of it being made, and of it being finished.

To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must post:
  • a picture of your ginger root (can be harvested or store-bought if you live somewhere that does not grow ginger)
  • a picture of the ginger root in the oil with a description of what oil and other ingredients you used
  • a picture of your completed salve in its permanent, labeled container/jar

    For my ginger root salve, I used a combination of beeswax and ginger oil from the previous BB. I will include a picture of that ginger and it being made into an oil as well. Lots of pictures to follow

    Welcome witches, hello herbalists, greetings ginger enthusiasts.
    Gather round and witness the creation of a wonderous salve, a magnificent cure for all ailments, a permacultural panacea!
    GINGER ROOT SALVE!

    I travelled far and wide to find the ginger for my salve *
    And the rapeseed it has granted it`s magic even from further and wider aways.**
    The wax I am gifted from the familiars of our coven, the beautiful busy bees spear-headed by their queens the fair Euphemia and the belligerent Maude! ¤
    A recipe I was granted by my teacher P.Ahnert from her alchemical grimoire.¤¤
    Too powerful was her salve, and my force is not as strong, so this is a mere shadow of hers. £
    Two score seven of fiery oil!
    Halfscore two of wax!
    Heated on the fires of hell! ££
    Fear its power! @

    *(45 minutes to the store. at least 10 minutes in the store and 45 minutes back again. A proper voyage!)
    ** (The ecological rapeseed oil is from a store about a minutes walk away from where I got the ginger. Which adds at least two minutes of journeying...)
    ¤(We had three hives last year [now four!], and wax here was scrapings from two of them)
    ¤¤(Beehive Alchemy. A great addition to your bookshelf if you want to do things with wax!)
    £(I halved it due to not having enough oil for a full batch)
    ££(Our wood fired oven)
    @(I haven`t really tried it yet, but ginger is great for a lot of things, so I have faith in this`n)

    You would be much easier to understand if you took that bucket off of your head. And that goes for the tiny ad too!
