    The document provides instructions for preparing two types of akapulko ointment - a cold process method and a hot process method. The cold process involves macerating fresh akapulko leaves in alcohol, evaporating the alcohol to obtain an extract, and mixing the extract with petroleum jelly. The hot process involves frying fresh akapulko leaves to extract oil, adding grated candle wax to the oil and melting together to form the ointment. Both methods are described as easy ways to produce standard ointments using akapulko leaves for fungal skin infections.

    How to prepare akapulko ointment:


    There are two methods for preparing ointments:
    The cold process and the hot process. Both produce standard ointments and are easy to perform. They differ from
    one another in more ways than just the temperature. Note the differences as you go through the procedure.

    The Cold Process:


    Materials: fresh chopped akapulko leaves, 95% ethyl alcohol, glass jar with cover, strainer, shallow bowl, white
    petroleum, mortar and pestle/mixing bowl and spoon, ointment jars, labels.
    Procedure:
    1. Macerate/soak the leaves in ethyl alcohol in the glass jar for at least 3 days. Cover and set aside. Add more
    alcohol to keep the leaves always immersed in the alcohol.
    2. On the 4th day, filter the extract through a clean piece of cheesecloth/filter paper.
    3. Using a water bath (in a big kettle with water, place your enamel "tabo" containing the extract) and under medium
    heat evaporate the solvent (the ethyl alcohol) until you get a thick, concentrated extract.
    4. Upon reaching the desired consistency, remove the extract from the water bath.
    5. Mix thick extract with the white petrolatum in a 15% proportion (15 grams/1 Tablespoon extract for every 100
    gms of white petrolatum) until the extract is blended well with the petrolatum.
    6. Transfer the akapulko ointment in the desired containers. Label properly.
    The Hot Process (Recommended for longer Shelf Life)

    Materials: fresh chopped leaves, vegetable oil(coconut Oil), candle (Sperma #5), frying pan, strainer, ointment jars,
    labels.

    Proportion:
    3 cups fresh chopped leaves (Chopped Thinly)
    2 cup vegetable oil (coconut Oil)
    4 candles Sperma # 5, grated (50 grams)

    Procedure:
    1. Fry the chopped leaves until crisp in Low Heat.
    2. Strain, Use cheesecloth or similar textile to extract the oil. Add the grated candle to the oil.
    3. Heat over low heat until all the candle wax is melted. Mix well.
    4. Transfer to ointment jars before the mixture hardens.
    5. Label properly.

    Other Procedure

    One cup Akapulko extract (Oil) mix with 1oz Beeswax
