Notes

  • Grind the ingredients together into a fine powder. Mix 90g of powder with 240g beeswax into a glass jar with an airtight lid. Uncover the jar and put into a sauce pan. Fill the pan to about 1/3 the height of the jar and slowly heat until the beeswax dissolves. Remove the jar and thoroughly mix. Apply the plaster while warm by spreading a thin layer onto a sterile gauze. Affix to the area with a bandage or skin tape. One application can be used continuously for up to two weeks. Remove while bathing.
