Blissful Herbs' Soothing Salve

"It's worth its weight in gold, that stuff." - Ryan

This lovely new product is made from gentle, natural ingredients sourced from home-grown, home-run businesses just like Blissful Herbs. Not only are the ingredients healthy for body and planet, but I'm so pleased to be able to support other WAHP and local businesses, through using their quality ingredients in the Soothing Salve.
Now about the Soothing Salve!

First, a picture:

 

At present, we have a 30 ml jar for $9.50

and a 60 ml jar for $16.50

 

The Soothing Salve is ideal to use to support healing of the perineum after childbirth, perfect for small tears, grazes, “skid marks” etc.

It's a great thing to have in the birthing woman's 'birth kit', along with the Post Natal Bliss healing bath herbs, for a fantastic post natal healing regime.

It is also perfect for using during nappy changes. It makes meconium so easy to wipe away, it moisturises the skin and helps prevent nappy rash.

It can also be used for general family first aid, for minor skin problems like cuts, scrapes, grazes, itchy bites, rashes and mild eczema.

Ingredients:

Herb-infused Olive Oil (Lavender, Calendula, Comfrey, Rosemary, Sage & Thyme), Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Rosehip Oil, Damasque Rose Absolute & Goldenseal.

Just a note: Goldenseal is a fantastic healer but it is not advised for use with young babies. Now there's only a small amount of Goldenseal in the Soothing Salve, but in order to have the widest margin of safety, I would not suggest using the Soothing Salve on sore nipples, unless you plan to wash it off with a few drops of breastmilk prior to breastfeeding. So just use your own maternal nouse about that.

To order: email blissfulherbs@bigpond.com with your postal address.

Postage is $7.50 and that stays the same up to a 500g gross weight package. So, if there's any herbs you need, might as well include them in your order when you purchase your Soothing Salve, to make the most of the postage.

Feedback from testers:

Ahh... Blissful Herbs Soothing Salve, I haven’t even finished my jar and I’m in love. I could smell it the second I opened my latest package from Blissful Herbs, and immediately tried it as a lip balm. Since then it has been a treatment for eczema, nappy rash, mozzie bites, and a 4-year-old’s bruised ego, and has treated all with amazing success!

The texture is lovely, and soaks in quickly, leaving soft skin and a yummy fragrance, that even my super-sensitive husband didn’t turn his nose up at! If a little hard on colder days, it warms up quickly with body heat and doesn’t leave a greasy layer. 

 Eczema is much improved almost immediately as the dry skin is remedied on application, my skin just drinks up the salve, and with consistent, longer term use my skin should heal properly. Mild nappy rashes are visibly improved within a couple of hours and gone within a day, not to mention the gentle herbal fragrance from the salve is a pleasant surprise on opening a worn nappy! I’m loving it as a lip balm too, a thin layer soothes chapped lips quickly, and lasts for ages, and doesn’t transfer to glasses or affect the taste of my food.

Knowing it’s all natural is wonderful with two busy boys under 5, who ‘need’ to have cream on every bumped knee, and while I would previously say no to (chemical) cream unless there was a ‘real’ injury, the Soothing Salve is a lovely option to let them have their bumps treated every time, without worrying about what else is going into their skin.

Feels great, smells great, and works great! Can’t recommend it enough!

Louise said it worked even better than aloe vera for her sunburn.

 

This photo is from a woman who had chemical burns a couple of years ago and since then had ongoing dermatitis which caused severe pains in her hands. She tried everything from over the counter lotions and creams to steroids with little if any relief.
She used the Soothing Salve for not even a month and these are the results:

This is what she had to say:
"It's all gone except for my left pinky, which has always been the worst. I keep that Soothing Salve in my bag and I take it everywhere. It's amazing! Thank you!"

And thank you for sending in these pics and allowing me to share them.


*** NEW ***

 

Now we have a couple of variation on the original Soothing Salve:

 

Soothing Salve - for sore joints and muscles - with herb-infused olive oil (lavender, rosemary, sage & confrey), hemp oil & beeswax.

 

Hemp oil contains natural anti-inflammatory effects that make this oil helpful for people with conditions causing them to experience joint pain and stiffness. Hemp oil is also considered to be helpful for dry skin, eczema, skin rashes and dermatitis.

 

and

 

Soothing Salve - for sensitive skin - with herb infused olive oil (calendula & oatstraw), rosehip oil and beeswax - no essential oils. This is ideal for children with very sensitive skin and also for use during breastfeeding for sore or cracked nipples.
