I really like it because they use a crockpot and you can't beat that with a stick when you are trying to do more than one thing at a time.
There are some really good recipes there as well:
Sore NO More--Sore Muscle Salve
Muscle Mix from Bulk Herb Store herbally infused in coconut oil-8 oz (this is the amount I had at the end of the 3 days).
2.5 oz. Beeswax
20 drops peppermint eo
15 drops clove eo
15 drops helichrysum eo
3 vitamin E gels
(use with caution as the cayenne in the mix will irritate the eyes)
Aches Away--Arthritis Salve
Arthritis Mix from Bulk Herb Store herbally infused in coconut oil--7 oz.
2.0 oz. Beeswax
20 drops peppermint eo
20 drops Marjoram eo
2 vitamin E gels
(Use with caution as the cayenne in the mix will irritate the eyes)
Ditch the ITCH--Poison Ivy Salve
Plantain
Comfrey Leaf
Whole Calendula
Herbally infused in olive oil/coconut oil 12 oz.
3 oz. Beeswax
60 drops ReFresh/Purify
4 Vit. E gels
