Lavender Lavandula angustifolia oil: 25-drops
Bergamot Citrus aurantium var. bergamia oil: 10-drops
Thyme Thymus vulgaris oil: 5-drops
Beeswax: 1/4-oz
Sweet almond oil: 2-oz
Warm the almond oil over a pot of hot water or in a double boiler. Add the grated beeswax, varying the amount depending on how firm the final ointment needs to be. You can check the consistency by dipping a teaspoon into the hot mixture and placing it in the freezer for five minutes. If it is too stiff, add more lanolin or oil; if it is too thin, add more beeswax. The consistency can be affected by humidity.
Add the essential oils.
Let the mixture cool until it is safe to handle. Then stir and pour the mixture into sterile jars (stirring ensures that the tincture or essential oil does not settle on the bottom).
Let the mixture cool before putting on the lid.
