- To make calendula cream, start by boiling several cups of water in a large pot.
- Using the water as a double boiler, melt 1 ounce of beeswax in a heatproof bowl, and 1 cup of calendula oil.

- Using a blender pre-warmed with hot water, blend the mixture until smooth. Allow it to cool. Voila your calendula cream is ready!
Notes
There are several essentials oils that are good partners to the anti-inflammatory properties of calendula. Peppermint, eucalyptus, chamomile, lavender, and spruce all work well in conjunction with calendula.
