First, you will need to gather your supplies. Here is a list of the things that you need. Most of which you may have laying around your house somewhere.

What You Will Need

• 8 Tbsp. Coconut Oil
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. Beeswax
• 1 Tbsp. Shea Butter
• 2 Tbsp. Cayenne
• 25 drops of Deep Blue or Wintergreen Essential Oil
• 2 – 4 0z. Tin Cans

Next, the instructions are pretty simple and straight forward. I may want to remind you though that when dealing with these items to be careful as the last thing you want to do is touch something like Cayenne and then rub your eye!

Instructions

• Place your coconut oil, beeswax, and shea butter in a double boiler and warm slowly over medium-low heat until all ingredients have melted.
• In another bowl, combine the Cayenne and Essential Oils.
• Next, add all ingredients together slowly, mixing as you go.
• Pour into the tin cans and let cool uncovered.

Once everything is cooled down you should be able to use it when needed. For your benefit, we have also included instructions on the proper way to use this product. Not that you wouldn't know but let's face it – some people simply need instructions.

How to Use:

This Herbal Icy Hot is not going to be the same consistency as a salve, it is more like an ointment because it contains less beeswax and is therefore softer. To apply, rub directly on the skin. For optimum results, accompany with a light massage on the sore or strained area to relax the muscles and break up any acid. Also, check out Bulk Herb Store's Muscle Salve Mix, as it is great for those deep tissue strains as well. Or, make your own herbal mix for a Deep Liniment Oil.

In summary, stay hydrated to keep your cells happy, fat, and working hard to repair the damage. Apply your salves or oils to aid your body's natural healing processes, and you will be up and going again in no time!
