Place the dry flowers and leaves in a glass jar and cover it completely with carrier oil.
Put the lid on the jar and store in a dark cupboard for four to six weeks, shaking every couple of days to keep everything submerged.
Strain the leaves with a strainer, cheesecloth or an unbleached coffee filter. The infused oil is now ready to make into a salve.
If you want to speed up the infusion process, slowly heat the oil in a slow cooker on low heat for 24 – 48 hours.

Combine the beeswax and the infused oil in a microwaveable container and heat for 30 seconds at a time in the microwave until the beeswax is completely melted. Stir in between each heat burst.
This process could also be done in a double boiler.
Pour the mixture into small glass jars or tins.
Let the salve cool and set.
The salve is now ready to label, date and store.
