Heal-All Skin Salve

December 26, 2010

One of the gifts under the tree for family this year.

This healing skin ointment is inspired by a salve I bought years ago. After using that purchased product and becoming more familiar with herbs and home remedies I decided to try making my own. This recipe is a further refinement and improvement on my first attempts.

Herbs:

Yarrow, organic
Calendula, organic
Echinacea, organic
Plantain, organic
Comfrey, backyard organic
Rosemary

Oils:

Olive
Canola, Maine grown & organic
Coconut, Organic

Other:

Beeswax, Maine
Honey, Maine, raw, organic
Grapefruit Seed Extract, a natural preservative
Eucalyptus essential oil
Rosemary essential oil

Follow the instructions on this post for how to make a salve.

Heal-All Skin Salve can be applied liberally to cuts, burns, scrapes, rashes, dry skin, and insect bites. Use caution with large open wounds (but then again those should probably be checked by a doctor). Our family has used this remedy for years and is our go-to at the first sign of skin troubles. The herbs in this salve have been chosen specifically for their healing properties for skin ailments.
