HERB - Ointment, Balm, Salve Recipes??

[Jenne Heise]

There are some in the 'Elixirs of Nostradamus' but I wouldn't recommend
them for actual USE... they are a bit dangerous.

You might try Gervase Markham's _English Housewife_, which would probably
be the source for the recipe that you are hunting for.
