How do you make a guava ointment?

* 1 cup fresh guava leaves, finely chopped

* 1/2 cup almond oil

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the guava leaves, almond oil, and beeswax.

2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly.

3. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the beeswax has melted and the mixture has thickened.

4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

5. Add the vitamin E oil and essential oils, if desired.

6. Stir the mixture until it is well combined.

7. Pour the mixture into a clean, airtight jar.
