You might be using Vaseline to soften your elbows or
feet, especially when they are very dry or scaly, do you know that Vaseline is
a bye product of Petroleum waste?
When I was using Vaseline my hubby used to warn me of the
petroleum raw material used in the Vaseline. As the summer is fading out and
the winter is fast approaching, I decided to make my own Vaseline with natural
ingredients like Bees wax and Olive Oil.
I just Googled and got many sites explaining the simple
procedures and recipes involved in Natural Vaseline making. During that process
I came across www.wildturmeric.net which impressed me much and I was just
astonished to see the number of Health and Beauty recipes covered by its author
Mrs. Ramya Venkateswaran. Well Done Ramya!
I have a lot of recipes with me for health and beauty
care, henceforth I will be also posting a few of them. If you like them and if
it is useful you can share them among your friends.

can be made in 10 minutes, if you have the bees wax and Olive Oil right away.
Now let us make Home Made Vaseline or Good Natural
