Place 2 tablespoons of dried amaranth flowers, leaves, or roots in 2 cups of hot oil. Simmer, covered, 2 hours. Remove from heat and strain. Add 1 1/2 ounces of beeswax and 1/2 teaspoon of tincture of benzoin to the mixture. Test for consistency and store in a tightly closed jar.

Amaranth has strong antiseptic and astringent properties. It can also help stop bleeding. This is a great salve to use for scrapes and cuts on children particularly for knees and places that are constantly bumped, causing the sore to break open and start bleeding again. Stops the bleeding as well as keeps the sore free from bacteria.
