Locally foraged herb and botanical infused salve.

While I CAN'T say this salve does it all, I can say what the ingredients have been purported to do.

They are known for:
wound healing activity
anti-inflammatory
analgesic
antioxidant
weak antibiotic
soothing minor cuts, burns, and skin irritation
treating acne
reducing inflammation
controlling minor bleeding
soothing irritated tissue

2oz jar $20

As with any skin product, test in a small area before use and discontinue use if irritation occurs. If you have any allergies you are concerned about, I will happily let know you know if my product contains those allergens.
