First you will need to infuse the flowers in the carrier oil. If using fresh flowers, let them dry for at least a day or two before infusing.
Pour over the carrier oil until all the flowers are covered.
Put the lid on the jar and store in a dark cupboard for 4 to 6 weeks, shaking every couple of days to keep everything submerged.
Strain the flowers 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, coconut oil 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.
Add the essential oil if using and mix through.
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.
