how different is this process then making the oil itself? Could someone please outline the difference for me as I would like to try making oil with this next harvest. Thanks much

Great post! I have all the ingredients already since I've been planning on making a salve for my aching shoulder (don't know yet why it throbs, but I suspect tendonitis)

I bought hempseed oil and coconut oil to make mine with. I also bought some mango butter to try with it.

What is the shelf life of your balm?

thanks for posting your recipe!

Peace,
PG
