Add 2 cups of fresh chickweed, 1 cup each of comfrey, calendula, plantain leaves, and 2 ounces of beeswax to 32 ounces of olive oil. Simmer several hours. Strain and add 1 teaspoon of gum benzoin. Let cool in the refrigerator, testing for consistency. If too thin, reheat and add more beeswax. This is very good for itching caused by poison ivy; diaper rash, heat rash, or just about any kind of rash. The gum benzoin will preserve this mixture. Add vitamin E oil if that is not handy.
