This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Natural Medicine.

For this BB, you will acquire (probably purchase) fresh or dried arnica blossom and make a salve.

Minimum requirements:
  - Start with an identifiable sample of arnica blossom
  - Herb must be fully chopped/blended/mashed to ensure proper exposure to the oil
  - Make an infusion in oil
  - Make it into a salve
  - Make at least a pint

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 mins):
  - Identifiable image of the herb
  - Your recipe
  - Salve ingredients cooking
  - Your finished salve in a labelled container, with the label also indicating the date
 
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons - for you are crunchy and good with ketchup. Crunchy tiny ad:
