Mānuka Honey Healing Salve

Mānuka Honey Healing Salve

Great for use on:
Minor cuts & scrapes
Dry, cracked skin
Insect bites
Eczema flare-ups

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp Manuka honey (UMF 15+ or higher is best)

  • 2 tbsp beeswax pellets

  • 4 tbsp coconut oil or sweet almond oil

  • 10 drops Mānuka essential oil (for extra antibacterial power)

  • (Optional) 5 drops lavender essential oil (soothing scent + skin calming)

Instructions:

  1. In a heatproof bowl, melt the beeswax and coconut oil using a double boiler (or a glass bowl over a pot of simmering water).

  2. Once fully melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly — but before it solidifies.

  3. Stir in the Mānuka honey and essential oils.

  4. Pour into small, sterilised jars or tins.

  5. Let it cool at room temperature until firm.

How to Use:
Apply a small amount to clean skin as needed - it creates a protective layer, speeds up healing, and soothes irritation naturally.
