Celandine Ointment – Recipe

For this simple recipe you need 100% natural ingredients that you can find at the healthy food stores.

Ingredients

– 50 grams olive oil

– 100 grams coconut oil

– 15 – 20 grams beeswax

– 80 – 100 grams celandine

Preparation

Use a pot to mix all the oils, the beeswax and the celandine that you have previously chopped. Leave the pot on low heat. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Continue mixing for about 15 minutes. After that, you can turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down till next day.

Next day, you must warm up the mixture again, but not too much. It must be liquid enough so that it can be strained through a cheesecloth. After you’ve done this, you must keep the ointment in dark colored containers. Keep it at low temperature (in the fridge, for example) for about 2 – 3 months. After that you cease using it, because it expires. However, beeswax is a great preservative.

This celandine ointment can be used externally to treat boils, warts, cuts, infected wounds, eczema, skin tuberculosis, psoriasis, age spots, herpes, ringworm, cracked skin, dark circles under the eyes, scab and lupus.

You can easily cure eczema by following a treatment with another type of celandine ointment. Prepare it from 30 grams of celandine powder and 15 grams of vaseline and add 10 ml olive oil. Use this mixture to apply on the affected areas and bandage them. Keep the bandage for 2 – 3 days after which you can change it. Repeat the procedure until the eczema is completely healed.

Administration

Apply the ointment locally 2 or 3 times per day, only on the affected areas.

Contraindications

If you are allergic to any of the ointment’s compounds, you must use this product.

Cautions
