Winnies Wonder Udder Balm Recipe

Meet Winnie, She is not my goat. However, she and I are rather close these days as I have the honor of milking her twice a day right now. Her owner just had a baby... oh my goodness, he is so handsome. He was born right at home, with mama, papa, and midwife.

Winnie is the first goat I have had the privilege to milk, and again I am divinely blessed with the personality of hooves for this milking adventure. By that I mean she is very well trained, doesn't show too much apprehension for a new full-time milker and gives me a consistent volume in quarts.

It was for her, that I created this lovely natural and nurturing udder balm. It's simple in ingredients and easy to whip up in a hurry, that is if you have everything on hand : other wise known as a well stocked apothecary.

The Recipe: very adjustable for personal size requirements

1/4 cup plantain & dandelion infused olive oil
1/2 cup shea butter - warmed
8 drops of melaleuca essential oil
8 drops of lavender essential oil

To Make: simply add the ingredients to an appropriate sized bowl and whip with a hand mixer. Once the udder balm has reached your desired consistency, package and label.

To Use: apply in quarter sized amounts to the udder after each milking, then gently massage over the entire surface area. Personally, I rub it all over my hands then apply it the udder.

Creating this balm in small batches may seem like extra work, however doing this allows for your herbal remedies effective integrity to be maintained. Giving you and your goats a quality product.
