Oils, balms and beeswax!

As a continuation of my previous post about my historical re-enactment physicianary adventures I have an update! We steeped a collection of the herbs in oil for several weeks before straining and bottling them. These herbs include rosemary, clove, lavender, garlic and a few others that may not be as authentic, such as raspberry. We are now at a bit of a standstill, as we need to reach apprentice level in the re-enactment society to use any of our herbs or oils at a show. However, we have ordered some beeswax, and will be attempting to make some balms from the oils after the university holidays are over.
