Wild Craft Salve

Similar to ointments, our salves are made from infused oils, shea butter, and local or homegrown beeswax. The oil acts as a medium to harness the medicinal properties of the herbs.  The shea butter provides moisture while the beeswax provides a protective emollient.
 
Our salves contain lavender, basil, goldenrod, and chickweed.  
 
Lavender is known as a calming, relaxing herb.  Throughout history it's been used to alleviate tension, stress, and insomina.  It is also known as a mild antidepressant. Additionally, clinicial studies have been conducted and determined lavendar as an effective antibacterial.  We highly recommend this salve to be used to address small wounds, such as cuts, scrapes, or burns; or to be used at night on the wrists to improve sleep.
 
Similar to Lavendar, Basil provides natural antibacterial and antiseptic properties and can be used for small wounds, such as cuts, scrapes, or burns.  
 
Goldenrod is an abundant plant in North America, often identified by it's bright yellow flowers.   Known to be an anti inflammatory, it has been used for generations to treat joint pain, gout, and arthritis.  We recommend this salve to be used anywhere that swelling is present or directly on achey joints.  
 
While most seed chickweed as a nuisance plant in the garden, it actually has profound medicinal properties to address a variety of skin concerns.  Chickweed as a salve provides soothing relief to itchy or irritated skin.  Useful for treating rashes, eczema, and even diaper rash.  And for your farmer friends, a quick remedy for nettle stings.
