How to Make Antifungal Salve

Herbal antifungal salve has tremendous healing qualities. The herbs slowly release into the warm oil, infusing their medicinal qualities. As a result, an antifungal salve is an excellent treatment for athlete's foots and other fungal conditions, cuts and infections.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Slow cooker
• 1 cup dried plantain leaf
• 1/4 cup dried comfrey root
• 1 to 1 1/2 tbsp. dried goldenseal root
• About 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil (enough to fully cover the dry ingredients)

Antifungal Salve

1. Pour the herbal oil into a small saucepan. Add the beeswax, cooking and stirring over low heat until it melts.

2. Stir in the grape seed extract and tea tree oil.

3. Pour a small amount of salve into a cup, allow it to cool, and then check the consistency. If the salve is too thin, add a bit more beeswax. If it's too thick, add more herbal oil.

4. Pour the antifungal salve into wide-mouth containers and store them in a cool, dry place. Use the salve as needed.

Herbal Oil for Antifungal Salve

5. Place the dried plantain leaf, comfrey root, goldenseal root and olive oil in a slow cooker turned to the lowest setting.

6. Allow the herbal mixture to steep for 3 to 4 hours.

7. Strain the herbal oil into a glass jar or bottle.

Tips & Warnings

• It's very important for the herbs to infuse into the oil very slowly. If your slow cooker is too warm, even on the low setting, turn it off once it heats up. It will still retain enough heat to infuse the herbs. The slower the herbs infuse, the better the quality will be.
