In addition to taking herbs internally [see Teas], herbs can also be applied to the skin. The skin is our body’s largest organ, and what we put on it is absorbed into the body. For this reason you won’t find synthetic additives or preservatives in these topical herbal products. Herbal salves are simply herbal-infused oils thickened to a spreadable consistency with beeswax.

Deep Tissue Salve
The same herbs and essential oils as are in Deep Tissue Oil.

Deep Tissue Salve can be used for the same purposes as Deep Tissue Oil, but with less mess. Salve tends to be easier to apply and use, as it doesn’t run off the skin or spill if the bottle is tipped.

St John’s Wort flower, Calendula flower, Arnica flower, Ginger root, and Cayenne fruit and Rosemary leaf.
OTHER INGREDIENTS:
