Description
Combining the powerful properties of three wonderful herbs, chickweed, comfrey, and plantain, this salve can offer relief for skin rashes, itchy insect bites and minor wound care. Safe for pets and children.
<br />
<br />For topical use, chickweed is often used fresh as a poultice for any sort of skin inflammation, rash, eye irritation due to allergies, or aid to draw out infection. This cooling plant absorbs the heat while reducing the swelling and inflammation.
<br />
<br />Comfrey has the reputation of being a living medicine chest. A member of the Borage family, this herb was known as the plant that can join back together what has come apart, be it broken bones or tissue repair.
<br />
<br />Plantain, or Plantago major, is known as the "Mother of Herbs". Plantain is both edible and medicinal and a valuable aid for healing skin conditions.
