Activated Charcoal Black Salve. That’s quite the mouthful isn’t it? Activated charcoal is great for bites and stings, but this remedy has a lot more than just charcoal. You can make this basic recipe at home. You’ll need a few ingredients, some simple equipment from your home kitchen, and about an hour of time. Pay close attention to the salve during the heating process, since it can easily burn or become too hot if you get distracted. What you will need:
- calendula-infused oil (make your own or buy online)
- coconut oil
- beeswax
- activated charcoal
- clay (I used betonite clay)
- lavender essential oil
- tea tree essential oil
