| Peppermint Leg Gel This is a light, nongreasy, invigorating gel that is perfect for tired legs and feet. It was a lifesaver on one hot, humid summer trip to Singapore when I was eight months pregnant! For extra cooling action, place this gel in the refrigerator before using. Ingredients: 1/2 cup aloe vera gel 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch 1 tablespoon witch hazel 3-4 drops peppermint oil Directions: Combine the aloe vera, cornstarch, and witch hazel in a heat-resistant container. Warm the mixture until it is a clear, thick liquid about the consistency of honey. (You can do this in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds for 1 to 2 minutes on high, or in a double boiler on the stove top.) After the mixture has cooled, add the peppermint oil and stir thoroughly. Pour into an airtight container. Massage this lotion into your legs and feet for an instant pick-me-up. Yield: 4 ounces Scar healing oil Comfrey Infused Oil Calendula infused oils Almond oil One wheat germ capsule Four Vitamin E capsules Frankincense E.O. Lavender E.O. I used a 2 oz bottle and I did not measure my oils, I do wish I had for this works wonderful. Pretty much the E.O.'s are just for personal scent, you could use others if you choose. I did use these for scent due to thier healing properties. About one half of the bottle was Comfrey Oil. The rest was a little of this and that. |
