I have issues with my hands, in the form of tendinitis and carpal tunnel. I watch what I do in regards to repetitive motions, but sometimes life happens. I have been using Devil's Club and Devil's Claw salves and creams since I was in university and I swear by them. I thought I would finally take the plunge and attempt to make my own salve. I have had to McGyver some things as I don't have the best of supplies.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon Devil's Claw
50 ml Beeswax
1 cup Olive Oil
Process
1~infuse oil with herb over improvised double boiler
2~Strain through cheesecloth
3~melt beeswax and add infused oil
4~place in container to cool
I had to use capsules of Devil's Claw, which was the best I could do for now. I hope to find a good supplier of the whole herb soon.
I prefer a more firm salve, so next time I will double the amount of beeswax.
