HEALING BALM RECIPE by Kimber ~*Solitary Witch*~
HEALING BALM RECIPE
For those of you, who have been advised to moisturise the skin with a barrier cream or oil, I have a great recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
1 part Beeswax granules
1 part Jojoba oil
1 part Almond oil
A few drops organic Lavender essential oil. Can be substituted with Blue Chamomile essential oil, Tea Tree oil, or Patchouli oil.
METHOD
1. Melt the Bees wax, Jojoba and almond oil together in a double boiler until melted completely. Remove from heat and allow the liquid to cool slightly (you will know when it gets to this stage because the waxy liquid will turn slightly opaque)
2. Add the essential oil to the warm oil and gently stir as it sets. This will take a few minutes.
3. Spoon the balm into a clean sterilized container such as a small glass jar and allow the mixture to set completely.
----------------------------
Apply the homemade balm to the skin before bed every night and whenever you get the opportunity during the day - this is incredibly soothing for dry skin. The essential oils help to reduce inflamation and to fight infection.
Please do the sensible thing by patch testing 48 hours prior to use (just to ensure your skin responds well to treatment). If you are pregnant or breast feeding, I suggest visiting this website for recommendations of safe oils to use - alternatively you could omit the essential oils completely.
Remember, if you are allergic to latex or Nitrile gloves, moisturisers and barrier creams are a bad idea to use until your allergic reaction has subsided - this can take as long as 72 hours.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
