Soothing Skin Salve
There are incredible herbs infused in this salve that promote healing at the tissue level. Calendula is anti-inflammatory so it can lessen swelling. Comfrey leaf and root speed healing of bones and ligaments and reduce pain. St. John’s wort is great at treating burns and damaged skin and lessening scarring. Aloe vera with its antioxidants and minerals soothes and moisturizes burns and wounds. The base of extra virgin olive oil itself is antioxidant and anti-bacterial, and vitamin E adds moisture and protection. We use this salve on burns (after the initial luke-warm water soak), when we fall or get a painful bump, and especially when we sprain our ankles!
Ingredients: Extra virgin olive oil, calendula, comfrey leaf, comfrey root, St. John’s wort, beeswax, aloe vera, and vitamin E.
Caution: Do not apply to broken skin. Comfrey facilitates healing and may help heal the skin faster than the wound beneath the skin.
