How to Make Pine Tar Salve

Pine tar salve is a natural remedy that has been used for centuries to treat various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and insect bites. Pine tar is a sticky substance that is derived from the wood of pine trees. It has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that make it an effective treatment for skin irritations.

2. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in essential oil (if using).
3. Pour the mixture into a jar or tin and let it cool completely before use.
