9.7 GOLDEN SEAL SALVE
Golden Seal Herb (no root)............6 ounces
Alcohol..............................................3 ounces
Ammonia Water (3-4% solution).. 2 tablespoons
Olive Oil....... ....................................35 ounces
Beeswax........ ....................................7 ounces
Grind the herb, moisten with the alcohol THEN the ammonia water, cover, and
let stand for 2-3 hours. Proceed as with Echinacea Salve. The ammonia is
necessary to stabilize the alkaloids in the Golden Seal. You can omit it if you
wish, but the end result is somewhat inferior. The herb contains the same
constituents as the root, although with a shorter shelf-life, and using the leaf
spares this vanishing plant from further decimation through the digging of wild
plants (STILL the primary source of roots on the market).
