Marigold Healing Salve


1 cup of crisco

1 cup of Marigold flower petals

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

... Small jar (I get one at family dollar with hinge lid less than a $1 ( I save all my glass jars so I wont be needing to buy one)
Melt crisco on stove just warm enough to melt it. Pour in petals remove from heat and let them steep. Place back on stove on high heat and bruise the petals will start turning a yellow color. Add cayenne pepper and remove from heat. Strain through cheese cloth or old t shirt into jar. Good for bites, stings, burns, cuts and scrapes. Will remove infection. Starts healing quickly. Most people that have used it swear by it.
 
I saw this on facebook, I have not tried it but wanted to save it for reference.
