Secret Healing Balm Recipe

 

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp black seed oil (Nigella sativa)
• 1 tbsp ginger powder or 2 inches fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 tbsp turmeric powder
• 1 tbsp cayenne pepper (optional for stronger warmth)
• 1/4 cup coconut oil (for base)
• 10 drops peppermint essential oil (soothing and cooling effect)
• 10 drops eucalyptus essential oil (anti-inflammatory and relieving properties)
• 1 tbsp beeswax (for a thicker balm consistency)

Instructions:

1. Melt the Base: In a double boiler, gently melt the coconut oil and beeswax together. Stir occasionally until fully melted and combined.
2. Add the Herbs and Spices: Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the black seed oil, ginger powder, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
3. Cool Slightly: Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes.
4. Add Essential Oils: Add the peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils to the mixture and stir well.
5. Set the Balm: Pour the mixture into a small glass jar or tin and let it cool at room temperature until it solidifies.
6. Store and Use: Once set, your healing balm is ready to use. Apply a small amount directly to areas of pain, such as the legs, joints, or varicose veins. Massage gently into the skin.

Tips:

• Store the balm in a cool, dry place, and it should last for several months.
• The combination of ginger, turmeric, and black seed oil provides anti-inflammatory benefits, while the essential oils offer cooling and soothing relief.
