A Holiday Balm Plot? How to make Pine Rosin Balm at home.

Need some good Holiday fun activity for the family?

Making your own Healing Balm as a fun and learning craft with your family could be a wonderful tradition to incorporate in your special seasons of family gathering times. 

Kure-it Healing Balms are coming in the spring of 2025!

Until then here is a great Idea for some good family time making a healing balm of your own.

This is an article created by Laurie, one of our Gold Eagle Club Members.

Laurie was nice enough to offer to write this article to share her Pine Rosin Balm formula that she has modified to incorporate The Oil of Elijah in it.

We also encourage making your own and sharing how to do this with others! You can even make a holiday family tradition out of it!

Laurie also sent me a a few samples of the balm she made and it is a very nice quality balm and smells great with the Pine resin! Thanks Laurie! Here is Laurie's sponsor page:

Laurie also added some Oil of Elijah to her recipe to give it more wonderful pain relief benefits!

(Note: You can also add Rx8 or Rx9 in the same manner and even add more!)

Here is the recipe:

Bees wax and Pine Rosin Salve with Jojoba Oil
Made with TLC
This healing balm comes from a thousand’s of years old recipe and still continues to sooth skin irritation, wind burn, dry winter skin, callouses, dry cracked hands resulting from frequent hand washing or working with anything that dries out the skin. This salve works great.
Pine resin is anti-microbial making it very nice to use topically on wounds of various types. It’s also known to be anti-inflammatory, so it’s equally nice to ease muscle and joint pain. Pine resin can increase circulation, which also explains why it helps with pain relief.
Does it surprise you to know that pine resin can assist in relieving chest congestion, too? When added to an oil and/or salve, rub it on your chest (just like Vicks).
Beeswax contains antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that are beneficial for the skin. It helps to retain moisture, protect against the sun's harmful rays, and reduce inflammation.
To each little jar, I added 21 drops of Elijah Oil for more healing and pain relief benefits.
I will be using it daily on my hands and wow are my hands soft.
YAH is so good.
Here is the recipe I used to make this salve, and now you can make it too.
These measurements were all done by weight not volume using a postal scale on the grams setting.

I used a double boiler system with a 4 cup sized Pyrex measuring cup, set on top of a stainless steel chain link pot scrubber in a larger sauce pan containing water.

After the process I was able to completely clean the measuring cup with hot soapy water and whatever residue was left wiped out with a dry paper towel.

I filled my little ¼ oz. jars over a sheet of parchment paper. That worked out well because it is almost impossible to avoid making a dripping mess.

In total, this recipe makes just over 2 cups of salve which is a lot. You will have plenty of salve to share.
If you collect your own Pine pitch, you will have to strain the hot melted rosin/oil mix through a cheese cloth and weigh again before adding the bee’s wax.
In a double boiler: Melt together 100 grams Pine Rosin/resin with 300 grams jojoba oil. After about 40 minutes of simmering and occasional stirring with a chop stick or similar tool these two ingredients will blend together completely. Here you will need to strain if necessary. Careful as this is hot and sticky so do not do this with children or pets at your feet.
Add to your bee’s wax at about a 6:1 ratio, the 6 parts being the oil/rosin and 1 part bee’s wax. In this recipe, I used 67 grams of bee’s wax. Melt these together completely. If you ended up straining the mixture because you collected your own rosin, you’ll have to find the exact weight after straining then divide this number by 6, that will give the amount of bees wax you’ll need for a 6:1 ratio. I like this ratio because the wax will not get too hard but it will be firm.
After removing the hot liquid salve from the heat source, you can add essential oils if you like. Eucalyptus would be nice.

I used my Elijah Oil from www.biblehealingoils.com/pages/Yah777
To be precise, I just added 21 drops of Elijah Oil to each ¼ oz. jar before I filled the jars with the hot liquid salve. You’ll be glad you used a Pyrex measuring cup with a spout which makes it easy to fill these little balm jars.
