How to make Ginger-Peppermint Salve as alternative treatment for back pain:

Ginger and peppermint contain potent constituents that penetrate the skin, creating a warming sensation that promotes muscle relaxation. This salve will remain fresh for up to a year when stored in a cool, dark place.

• Take one (1) cup of light olive oil
• take one (1) ounce chopped dried gingerroot, 
• Take one (1) ounce crushed dried peppermint, 
• Take one (1) ounce beeswax

In a slow cooker, combine the olive oil, ginger, and peppermint. Select the lowest heat setting, cover the slow cooker, and allow the herbs to steep in the oil for 3 to 5 hours. Turn off the heat and allow the infused oil to cool.

Bring an inch or so of water to a simmer in the base of a double boiler.

Drape a piece of cheesecloth over the upper half of the double boiler. Pour in the infused oil, then wring and twist the cheesecloth until no more oil comes out. Discard the cheesecloth and spent herbs.

Add the beeswax to the infused oil and place the double boiler on the base.

Gently warm over low heat. When the beeswax melts completely, remove the pan from the heat. Quickly pour the mixture into clean, dry jars or tins and allow it to cool completely before capping.

Using your fingers or a cotton cosmetic pad, apply one (1) teaspoon to the affected area, massaging well. Use a little more or less as needed. Repeat the treatment up to four times per day.
