The kids and I pick a jar of poplar buds, soak them for a few weeks in olive oil, stirring them each day, cover the jar only with a paper towel. After a few weeks you get a red like oil that you can use on burns, bites, bruises, sore muscles. We melt a bit of beeswax into it to make a salve, perfect for windburn. If you look for it in a health food store it's called "balm of gillead". Best to pick the buds during the winter or they are really sticky.

This isn't sarcasm, or a joke. I use preparation H on my sunburns & windburn. That's what it's intentional use was for when it was invented for the military. It doesn't smell so hot, but it really works!:d

Eastcape, did you know that some people use it to reduce puffiness around their eyes. Weird! I know! But I heard it works.
