Take the following herbs: a handful of comfrey (Symphytum officinalis), calendula (Calendula officinalis), and lavender, and mix them. Put olive oil on the mix and leave it in a warm place for two weeks. After that, filter through cheesecloth or linen and heat on a water bath for about half an hour on low heat. Meanwhile take 3 table spoonfuls of duck fat and 5 – 6 crushed grams of pine resin. Add them to the simmering mix and stir for about 15 minutes until the resin melts. After that add two balls of beeswax as big as two big nuts, and when all melts, filter through cheesecloth and put it in an earthenware small pot. Use it when you need it. You can also add five drops essential oil of tea tree.
