I’ve been growing this beautiful plant in my garden called Lamb’s Ear. The name fits perfectly—its leaves truly feel like a lamb’s ear, soft, velvety, and gentle to the touch. It’s a perennial herb in the mint family, Lamiaceae, but it doesn’t smell like mint. When I began infusing it, I was surprised to find that it has a light, sweet scent reminiscent of cotton candy.
Through my research, I learned that Lamb’s Ear has a long history of practical use. The plant is naturally antibacterial, absorbent, antiseptic, and antifungal. Traditionally, people used the leaves as bandages for scrapes, burns, insect bites, and wounds. With that in mind, I decided to create a healing salve using my MCT herbal infusion and natural organic beeswax.
I’ve used this salve on a cut on my finger, and it worked beautifully. I keep a jar in my medicine cabinet so it’s always on hand when I need it.
The infusion has a soft green tint, as shown in the photo. I don’t have a large quantity available because the season is changing and the plant is going into dormancy. Once it dies back for the winter, I won’t be able to make more until next summer.
