• 
• 1 ounce (25 g) oak bark or krameria or wild geranium, ground fine

4. Remove pan from stove. Let mixture cool until just before it starts to harden, then add vitamin E oil and eucalyptus essential oil, and stir well.
5. While mixture is still liquid, pour into salve containers and label. Note: Make sure your containers are made to withstand hot liquids before using them.

The vanilla pod or bean is the fruit of the exotic climbing orchid which is native to Mexico, though the plants are now grown in all tropical areas. Vanilla is not a spice, therefore it has no essential oil. Its unique flavour and aroma come not from the living plant, but from the vanillin crystals which form on the surface of the pod. But first it must undergo a complicated process of fermentation which can take up to six months to complete. The plants also have to be hand-pollinated (unless grown in their native Mexico where indigenous orchid- pollinating insects abound). (more…)
