Woodland Healing Salve
Woodland Healing Salve
This soothing, skin repair salve is made with 3 very ancient + medicinal plants key to the ecological environment that we are in, the oak woodlands of the so called Santa Ynez Mountain Range. All of these medicines would not be here today if not for the reverence + stewardship of the Chumash peoples. This is their land. Because of the sacredness of these plants and this land, we did not wildcraft them, we grew them in our garden.
Hummingbird Sage (Salvia spathacea) Chumash name (Pakh) is such a beautiful plant, it holds so much medicine + healing powers physically and spiritually. Topically it is anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory due to its large supply of resins, terpenes, and flavonoids. Like many plants in the mint family, it is also a nerving and works to calm down the body.
California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) Chumash name (Qupe) covers our state like a blanket of pure love and sunshine, but most don’t know that it has so many medicinal benefits and has been used for thousands of years as a medicine. Poppies have traditionally been used for their ability to promote sleep and relaxation. It also has the powerful ability to calm the nervous system and relieve anxiety. It was included in this salve for its potent anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial qualities.
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) Chumash name (Masteleq ‘a pistuk) is the guardian angel of the plant realm. A fierce yet gentle healer. One of my personal favorites. It is your best ally for defeating any ailments and disease in the body. When used topically, like in this salve, it quickly works to repair any skin infraction.
*Use this salve on the daily for dryness, soreness, for burns, cuts, bites, redness, etc! Safe for children.
