Ointments can be made out of a fatty substance with powderd herbs and or oils added to it.  You can use lard, it use to be used in days of old, but you can use vegetable shortening now.  To a cup of shortening add 3 tablespoons of  enchanted herbs and  pound and smash together mixing it up real good.whilie visulaizing your wanted out come until it is all mixed and then place in an airtight container to store..  There are other methods as well.  Like meltling down the shortening but you can find that on the internet lol.

 

You can make all kinds of healing ointments even for your lips.

 

These are recipes for several ointments, a flying ointment that won't kill you, a great ointment for skin problems for your familar or yourself, a couple of herbal ointments for healing and several other miscellaneous ones. None of these ointments are meant to substitute for seeking the care of a Doctor or Vet for serious injury or illness. Also, it is possible to be allergic to some of the ingredients so test the ointment on a small patch of skin before you use it for the first time.

Yellow Dock Ointment
This ointment is great for annoying skin problems your pet may pick up such as ringworm on cats or mange type diseases in dogs. It will work on you too, for any sort of itchy or rashy things. To make this recipe, you need flowers of sulfur, available at the pharmacy, a small jar of Vaseline, a bottle of apple cider vinegar and the roots. You will need to gather about 6 or 8 yellow dock roots. They are long yellow tap roots, and difficult to dig up. Look for plants growing in moist ground, it's a bit easier to dig them there. Dice up your roots and place them into a small saucepan. Pour in enough apple cider vinegar to just cover them and simmer over low to medium heat until the roots are soft. Put the roots through the blender or a sieve to mash them thoroughly. Scrape the Vaseline out of the jar into a bowl and add the mashed roots. Add 1 teaspoon of the flowers of sulfur. Stir to mix completely. You can put the blend back into the Vaseline jar. To use just apply to the affected area twice a day for about a week, or less if it goes away sooner.

Violet Ointment
For this you will need two bars of cocoa butter, fresh violet leaves and a bit of lanolin. Melt the cocoa butter in the top of a double boiler. Add as many violet leaves as you can mash down into the cocoa butter and cook till the leaves wilt. Add as many more leaves as you can mash into the cocoa butter and wilt again. Do not boil, but simmer over the hot water for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and add two teaspoons of lanolin. Stir, then pour through a sieve into a glass jar. If the ointment is too hard, remelt in a water bath and stir in a bit more lanolin. This ointment is good for any minor scrapes and cuts you might get. It helps them heal faster and keeps them from getting infected.

Calendula Ointment
For this ointment you will need about a cup of calendula flowers, also called pot marigold. You will also need a jar of Vaseline, a double boiler and a strainer. Scoop the Vaseline out of the jar into the top of the double boiler. Put water in the bottom and place on a medium heat to melt the Vaseline When the Vaseline is liquid, add the flowers and simmer for about 30 minutes, but don't boil. Allow to cool a bit then strain the mixture to remove the spent flowers and pour the Vaseline back into the jar. This ointment is good for skin irritations, small cuts and scrapes and the like.
