Salves
Wild & untamed natural & organic products ~
a
choice you can live with!
What could be more old fashioned than a wonderful hand blended salve? Salves enjoy a rich history of use with secret formulas lovingly passed down generation after generation....because they work quickly, effectively and without burning, itching or hurting. Salves are soothing, they quickly and gently penetrate the skin, virtually infusing all the goodness & healing herbal properties right where they are most needed. They don't burn, have harmful side effects and offer comforting relief from many different symptoms, and often much quicker than a modern drug, and ultimately costing you a lot less too!
Your grandmother or grandfather probably used to slap some on your parents, and they might have been made with some pretty nasty hog lard or something else. Thankfully, the wealth of available, wonderful herbs is now literally at our fingertips. At the touch of our fingers we can find Native America remedies, all American formulas, herbs and folk lore, as well as Ayurvedic, Arabic, Traditional Chinese and some just plain ole fashioned ones that the early pioneers and settlers used. Really, what could be more American than a good old fashioned salve?
You'll probably find that any given salve may have multiple uses due to the hundreds or thousands of natural chemical activities, and might even discover some that aren't mentioned. Part of the adventure is learning about herbal properties, how they synergistically combine and compliment each other and which ones work most effectively for your needs. Our salves are made with 100% natural ingredients, fresh & dried herbs, vegetable oils, butters, natural preservatives and essential oils. NEVER any artificial ingredients or the slew of stabilizers and other junk. Occasionally there is a slight gritty feeling due to the whole herbs in some of the salves.
While most of our salves are triple filtered prior to packaging, tiny herbal particles can pass through, we prefer leaving the herbs in the salve rather than continuing to filter them out entirely. Some of our " skin sludges " available sometimes upon request, are the remains of the whole extracted herbs from our tinctures. The herbal goodness remains and offers potent properties, we combine everything with oils & beeswax to help solidify. These are full of bits and pieces and chunks of herbs, and are excellent to apply for serious skin conditions. Certainly too good to throw away, but not " pretty " enough for normal marketing! If you're interested in any, just let us know.
Our Salves are in 2 oz jars and naturally preserved with vitamin E and other herbs, nothing artificial and just a small amount glides on so easily, penetrating deeply. Often, it's surprising even to us, how well & quickly they work. Mother Nature is truly awesome, only the Lord knows why something works. We have some favorites that are pretty amazing and have used them for many different purposes. Many salves are very similar in nature but offer different herbal properties, confirm to see which might help with your particular need. If you read the properties of each ingredient you'll begin to formulate an understanding of how many hundreds of natural chemicals are in each formula, working together just as nature intended.
Keeping your freshly made salve refrigerated when not in use will help maintain a longer shelf life. The salve will feel hard & cold, but warms immediately upon touch. We try to contain ourselves and not get too " wordy " with our salve descriptions, but it's not easy, even we just mention a few of the known properties we can get carried away... With hundreds of natural chemical activities associated with each individual herb, it would be possible to fill pages of information. Instead we just give the broad strokes and leave the in depth research to you!
Oh, and one last thing, most dogs, horses, cats & other critters are quite fond of licking many of the salves. It's OK, don't panic, everything is natural, nothing harmful, and internal application might just be what they need. In observing the hundreds of animals we're fortunate enough to work with, we find that they will seek out various fresh herbs, grasses, flowers, leaves, barks, roots and eat them. Not to mention the "recycled alfalfa" from our horses. There is sound logic here, everything is full of various vitamins, enzymes, minerals that they KNOW they need and may be lacking in their commercial food. As long as there aren't chemical contaminants, let them eat the grass! And please don't cut those dandelions! Also dogs that don't normally like foo foo stuff applied to them, really like our spritzes and salves.
if you
remember a special family salve that no one remembers the formula
for, don't be shy maybe we can replicate it or at least come
pretty close....but we don't use animal products......and
finally....our salves are carefully hand crafted using only
exceptional quality herbs, botanicals & 100% pure &
natural essential oils, vegetable oils & butters. They will
never be mass produced and are therefore in limited supply, you
can be confident that these are as fresh if you crafted them
yourself. In fact, we offer small quantities of raw ingredients for you to try your hand, and can offer bulk prices if you really get hooked! They are not sitting on a shelf or in some store room.
They are either freshly made when you order or some of the most
popular salves have been refrigerated for a very short period of
time....

and essential fatty acids, containing both Omega 3 and Omega 6
and Gamma Linolenic Acid which make it naturally moisturizing.

moisturizing properties. Hemp
seeds produce a vegetable oil that is high in protein and can be
used within a variety of foods and cosmetics. The hemp seed oil

method. It has a characteristic vegetable odor with a slight
green color. It's food grade, excellent for including in your health elixirs. The seeds from which this oil is obtained are not
sterilized or fumigated. Hemp seed oil's high linoleic and
linolenic acid contents make it vulnerable to spoilage. Alpha
linolenic, linoleic and oleic acid are the essential fatty
acids known as the omegas and make up 88% of the total
fatty-acid content. Its particularly moisturizing for dry,
damaged skin and for eczema and psoriasis. Hemp seed oil
