I wanted to make my DeBunk The Funk deodorant spray into a solid, yet spreadable, wax form because it lasts much longer than the liquid. My coconut oil deodorants are wonderful, but in the summer are completely liquified and I was getting annoyed with constantly putting them in and taking them out of the fridge. My waxy Debunk The Funk is awesome!! I've been using it for the past week or two, and it's pleasant, earthy and effective. Win! Win! Win!
I also wanted to make an itch salve that would double as a healing salve. I came up with a lovely combo that really helps my, er, personal itching issues, as well as being great for bug bites or general skin flare-ups. I've been trying to use it on the eczema I have on my scalp, but like even my prescription cream for that, it is very difficult to apply a cream to the scalp when you've got two tons of hair. The meds just stay in my hair mostly, yuk! However, I really want to avoid using anything steroidal, and with the amount of warnings they gave me with my prescription, I'd just as soon use a wild plantain & calendula based salve. After all, if you wouldn't put something in your mouth, you shouldn't put it on your skin. It all ends up inside you whether through ingestion or absorption.
I need to place another Mountain Rose Herbs order and do more experimenting!! I love witchin' in my kitchen!
