Salves

Herbal salves are topical herbal remedies used to treat cuts, scrapes, bruises and skin conditions.  They’re usually made by first infusing herbs in oil, and then thickening them with beeswax (or another thickener) for easy application.  Sometimes other ingredients like activated charcoal, bentonite clay and other complimentary medicinals are added into the mix.
