Can shea butter be used instead of bee wax?  This is a great video thanks.

@Nuru305 Hello, You can definitely experiment with butters for this recipe or waxes like carnuba and candelilla to help produce a firm textured salve. Using butters may produce a lotion. Whatever base you use will change the consistency a bit, but the medicinal properties of the herbal oils will still be helpful. Thanks for the great question! ~Erin

@jaakizamazin no, it will be greasy like a lip balm.

Can I use the salve on dogs and cats? I use to make one for tem and I can't remember where I got it from.

This is great. We are into herbs but have not made salves.

I have noticed in your videos you allow the water in your double boiler to touch the bottom of the pan on top, that is usually not a good idea since the point of the double boiler is to use the steam from the water in the pan underneath only.

Do you make / sell Essiac Salve ?

Omg! I have that measuring cup! :D

[missdior212]

could home made salves be used on animals wounds and sores? Specifically horses? And how long could these last before going "bad" and is it ok to store out in the open, or does it have to be refrigerated? Thanks
