BEESWAX AND PROPOLIS BURN OINTMENT
38 gms beeswax
20 gms propolis
10 gms pulverized aloe
30 gms water
I would think the wax would be a bad idea as it seems it would hold heat in the same as oils / butter that used to be a common home remedy but is no longer recommended. I don't know about the propolis - any ideas?

Honey has been used since the Egyptians were building the pyramids and todays science agrees that is effective.
