Ladies I'd like to try making a sauve for putting onto minor cuts , scrapes etc. I know the herbal ingredients I want but I'd like to find a good recipe for a base cream / sauve . I do not want an olive oil beeswax mix . have any of you tried spruce gum mixed with other ingredients ? It is quite sticky so I'm thinking it could not be a base on its own . ideas ?
Thanks , Roxie

I buy a salve that has some beeswax but also almond oil and avacado oil and lanolin.. seems to me lanolin is a creamy type of base.. maybe that?

 dd just wrote me on fb saying" mum do you mean salve or maybe you meant Suave " perhaps a suave salve for men is what I should try 
Jodie lanolin sounds right for what I want my friend uses bear grease but I'm wanting something for non meat eating people as an option .
have you ever added honey to a cream / salve ?

I haven't.. I would think it might be sticky
But I have also heard that it was used very successfully during WWI on wounds to prevent sepsis.

coconut oil is a nice oil too isn't it .I never thought of that oil in a salve .
there is a family story that when my grandfather was 12yo he came in very excited after hunting because he'd gotten a bird of some kind. He was standing leaning on the barrel of his gun telling his family the story . His 3yo brother wandered by him and stopped and pulled the trigger . This shot my grandfather right thru the arm . They appenetntly packed his arm with sugar is the story maybe salt too I'm not sure but sugar for sure . there was no doctor where they lived at that time . He also was always a healthy young man I'm sure that helped .I've always wondered though if sugar helps in infection or keeping a wound clean .
I'll have to try a few recipes I think . I'm very interested in using the daisy in a salve I've just been reading about the healing properties of daisies .
