Every grandmother had homemade ointment for sore knees or breast balm during colds. And even today, their production can be a great relaxation. “If I want to return to something, it is the production of my own ointments,” says actress Simona Vrbická in a podcast. And if you haven’t tried it yourself, it is definitely recommended to do it.

For creams and ointments we have long used to go to drugstores and pharmacies. But One hundred years ago, the basic ointment made everyone at home alone. And maybe a few years ago when we are at the Lockdown Covidow at home. “Because of Covid, it was not played in theaters and I taught online too. But I did where. Cook syrups, collected herbs, tried to mix my own ointments,” says actress and duber Simona Vrbická in the podcast. Making such a healing or healing ointment is nothing demanding. It just takes time and the right procedure.
Raw materials according to your own needs
- You will need a healing or cosmetic ointment:
- 250 ml of oil, or a mixture of oils or shea butter
- 50 g beeswax
- 2 handfuls of herbs
- Alternatively, essential oils that support the effect of herbs, a maximum of thirty drops
All the healing
To get their miraculous properties from herbs, they need to be properly leached first. So soak them in oil or oil mixture (almond, olive, coconut or hemp, but you can use it). Leave the mixture slowly over an hour above the water bath. Then wean the mixture and repeat the procedure again for the next four days. In total, you will infuse them for 5 days.
Convenient lubrication
After the last leaching, run the hot oil – through a sieve or canvas according to a small herb. Then add pieces of beeswax to the oil, dissolve and fill it with a cup of ointments.
Beware of the origin
If you really want to enjoy something better, pay attention to quality raw materials. Indeed, you often pay for it for renowned cosmetics brands. Buy herbs in organic quality and if you collect them yourself, which is of course the best, choose so -called clean locations. Thus, as far as possible from the fields and other economically used areas and, of course, aside dense buildings and roads.
In organic quality, or at least the highest possible quality, then try to get other raw materials, from beeswax to essential and bearing oils and even cocoa butter. Do not rely on exaggerated cheap purchases from the Internet, you will not conjure up the great ointment.
