2 easy Violet Ointment recipes

For this you will need 2 oz of cocoa butter, violet leaves and 2 oz of cocoa oil. 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 1/2 teaspoon peppermint or lavender essential oil . Stir, then pour through a sieve into a glass jar.

This ointment is good for any minor scrapes and cuts you might get. It helps them heal faster and keeps them from getting infected.
