Floral & Herbal Salves
|
| SALVES are simple medicines of oils thickened with wax to become solid, not liquid, medicines and perfumes for use on the skin. Unguent, Ointment, Balsam, Balm, Infusum, are a few of the many names applied to these mixtures through the ages. Thickening the oil makes storage and transportation as well as application of plant medicines straightforward and easy. Each year we make our own plant infusions from our garden, picking the herbs and flowers at their peak, then extracting the healing properties into organic Sesame oil. We ‘sun infuse’ using the Sun’s rays to extract each herb’s properties to the oil. These herbal oils, combined with beeswax, shea butter, essential oils and absolutes are what we use to make these Salves for your health and pleasure. |
