SALVES

Herbal salves are semi-solid ointments made from infused oils and natural waxes, typically beeswax, designed to soothe, protect, and heal the skin. They are packed with the therapeutic properties of herbs, extracted through an oil infusion process, and are commonly used to treat a variety of skin conditions, such as cuts, burns, rashes, and dry skin, as well as for muscle pain relief.

Salves can be applied multiple times a day as needed, and are suitable for sensitive skin types, depending on the herbs used.

At Earth Cura Apothecary, all of my salves are made with organic herbs, some of which are locally grown or sustainably wildcrafted. I use only organic, unrefined, cold-pressed oils to ensure the highest quality for skin nourishment and healing.

I follow the traditional method of cold infusion, which is a slow and mindful process. This involves infusing the herbs into oils for 4-6 weeks, allowing the full spectrum of their healing properties to be absorbed without the use of heat, preserving their potency. This method honors the slow rhythm of nature, resulting in salves that are not only effective but carry a healing, grounding energy.

This process and attention to detail ensures that each batch is made with love, intention, and the utmost respect for the healing properties of the earth.
