These are s few E.O. recipes I’ve had for so many years, I don’t remember where they cam from.
Homemade White Tiger Balm
5g | 0.18oz camphor essential oil
6g | 0.21oz cajuput essential oil
4g | 0.14oz menthol essential oil
1g | 0.03oz clove bud essential oil
8g | 0.28oz peppermint essential oil
1g | 0.03oz Vitamin E MT-50 (USA / Canada)
10g | 0.35oz beeswax
10g | 0.35oz cocoa butter
3g | 0.1oz emu oil (or andiroba oil)
3g | 0.1oz andiroba oil
Combine the oils & beeswax in a small heat resistant glass measuring cup & place that measuring cup into a small saucepan with about 3cm/1″ of barely simmering water to create a water bath. Heat through until melted.
While the carrier oils are melting, weigh out the essential oils into a non-porous container (glass, preferably).
The carrier oils (the beeswax, specifically) should be just barely melted. You don’t want the mixture to be any hotter than necessary. Add the essential oils, heat & stir as necessary to blend, & then quickly decant into a small container to cool. This recipe makes approximately 51g of tiger balm, which should fit nicely into a 60mL/2oz glass jar. I’d recommend glass for storage for this one thanks to the high essential oil concentration (the essential oils can eat away at plastic or metal).
Massage into sore muscles and enjoy the cooling sensation (it’ll take a couple minutes to kick in)!
How to Make the Best Natural Pain Relief Balm
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Active Time: 20 minutes
Cooling Time: 3 hours
Total Time: 3 hours 25 minutes
Makes: 2 Balm Containers
Supplies
3 tablespoons beeswax pastilles
2 tablespoons coconut oil
3 teaspoons sweet almond oil
8 drops spearmint essential oil
10 drops wintergreen essential oil
8 drops peppermint essential oil
8 drops frankincense essential oil
Tools
Small balm containers
Double Boiler
Instructions
Fill your double boiler’s bottom half just over half full of water and place on low to medium heat. Then add the beeswax to the top half and place on the stove. Bring the water slowly to a boil, stirring the wax to break it up if it sticks together much. This process should move slowly you don’t bring it to a boil too fast and burn the wax. You will lose its valuable properties if it gets too overheated or burned. Once you hear the water (not the beeswax) starting to boil, turn it way down to the lowest setting.
Once the beeswax is clear and melted, add the coconut oil and sweet almond oil to the beeswax, and stir frequently until melted.
Remove from heat and add in the essential oils. Each one of these oils is a thin consistency, so go slowly when adding your drops! Now stir the mix all together and you are ready to pour.
Fill your containers to just below the rim and leave off the lids for now.
Let the balms cool and solidify at room temperature until they are fully cooled off. Feel the bottom center of the containers after about 30 to 45 minutes to test them. For the larger containers, like the 2-ounce size they will likely take about an hour. Once they are totally cooled off, you can put the lids on and just make a nice label if you’d like, and you are all done!

Once these three ingredients are all blended and melted nicely, and there are no lumps or chunks left, you can go ahead and turn off the heat.**

**Allow them to cool at room temperature and away from sunlight for close to an hour. Once they are completely cooled, place the lids on. Feel the bottom center of the container to see if it has cooled and if it is, you’re good to go.**

### **Equipment**
**• Double Boiler**
**• Small containers with lids – at least 6 unless they are over an ounce each**
**• Labels and marker if desired**
### **Ingredients**
**• 3 tablespoons beeswax pastilles**
**• 2 tablespoons coconut oil**
**• 2 tablespoons sweet almond oil jojoba oil works well too**
**• 8 drops frankincense essential oil**
**• 10 drops peppermint essential oil**
**• 6 drops spearmint essential oil**
**• 6 drops lavender essential oil**
**• 8 drops basil essential oil**
### **Instructions**
**• Fill the bottom half of your double boiler with water and set it over medium-high heat. Add the top half of your double boiler and put your beeswax in the pan. It takes a few minutes to start to melt. Once you hear the water getting close to boiling, turn it down to low. The last thing you want is for the wax to burn, so just keep an eye on it once you notice it’s beginning to melt down, because it does go much faster at that point.**
**• While the wax is melting, go ahead and line up your containers so they are ready once it’s all melted. I used 9 containers in total and they were around half an ounce each.**
**• Once your wax is melted and clear in color, measure out your coconut oil and sweet almond oil and add it to the pan, stirring to combine.**
**• Remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly (but not harden). Then, add in your essential oils, one at a time. Be careful not to over pour them, as most of these oils are runny in texture. Stir well.**
**• Pour your headache balm into containers slowly, filling a bit below the top edge. Repeat until all of your containers are full.**
**While you're doing this, keep the heat on the pan very low in case you need it to soften up the balm. It does set up quickly and sometimes while pouring you may need to put the pan back on the warm water for a few minutes to re-melt the mixture if you don't move quickly enough.**
**• Now, leave the containers at room temperature on your**
**counter to cool fully. This will take about 30 to 45 minutes.**
**Feel the bottom center to see if it has cooled all the way.**
**If it has, they are good to go.**

**Prep Time5 mins- Cook Time15 mins- Cooling Time45 mins - Total Time1 hr 5 mins**
**Course: DIY Beauty, Cuisine: Natural Remedy , Servings: 2 Jars**
### **Equipment**
**• 2-4 small balm containers with lids**
**• Double Boiler**
### **Ingredients**
**• 1.5 ounces beeswax pastilles or chopped beeswax bars (locally sourced is great for your allergies if you find it)**
**• 3 tablespoons coconut oil**
**• 2 teaspoons sweet almond oil or your favorite carrier oil like jojoba oil or olive oil**
**• 10 drops lemon essential oil**
**• 10 drops lavender essential oil**
**• 10 drops peppermint essential oil**
**• 6 drops frankincense essential oil**
### **Instructions**
**• Using a double boiler, fill the bottom half of the pot about 2/3 full of water and start it over low to medium heat. Measure out your beeswax and put it into the top half over the water. It is best to heat it slowly, so you don’t burn or overheat the wax, which will protect the properties of it. If it burns, you will lose those great benefits.**
**• While that is heating up, go line up your containers so they are ready to go.**
**• Next, have your coconut oil measured out and ready. If it has solidified and is hard to scoop out and measure, pop it in a bowl of hot water to soften it up. Once the beeswax is fully melted and there are no yellow lumps remaining, stir in the coconut oil and the sweet almond oil. Let them melt together with the beeswax.**
**• Once they are mixed together and clear, you can remove the pan from the heat and add the essential oils. All of these oils are a thin consistency, even the frankincense, which comes from a resin, so be cautious when dropping them in. It is super easy to have them get away from you and end up with twice the drops you needed. Now, stir in the oils well to disperse in the balm base.**
**• Pour the mixture into your containers, which you lined up earlier. Take it slowly and leave just a slight gap at the top of the container.**
**• At this point, they need to rest on a counter top at room temperature to cool off. Best thing to do is not to move them, so that they don’t spill, and the top will solidify smoothly. After about 30 to 45 minutes, they will likely be cooled off all the way, but this will depend on the container you used too. Check to see by feeling the bottom center of the container. If it is warm still, give them awhile longer. If you put the lids on too soon, moisture will form inside the lid after you close it and you don’t want that. Once they are cooled off totally, put your lids on and make up some cute labels if you’d like.These make awesome gifts for so many occasions!**
### **Notes**
### **How To Use**
**1. Run your thumb nail, if needed, to loosen the balm and then take a small pea-sized amount and rub on area desired. If it is for breathing or sinus, rub on chest, neck, or just under nose. It can also be put on the bottom of the feet.**
**2. Apply directly on top of bites and stings.**
**3. If the balm stays too firm for your liking, you can re-melt and add more oil. Use less beeswax in your next batch.*
To guess, I probably got some of these @

I always keep a small container of Tiger Balm in an apothecary bag in my purse. It comes in handy in more ways than I can keep track of! Especially in the summer months with bug bites and other outdoor itchies.
