Comfrey and Goldenseal Salve

Comfrey and Goldenseal are incredibly effective herbal pain relievers.

Comfrey has been used traditionally as a natural remedy for thousands of years to help reduce pain and promote skin healing. It has strong wound healing properties due to its allantoin, polysaccharides, saponins, and other natural plant chemicals.  It has the ability to be used as a remedy for bruises, sprains, pulled muscles, lower back pain, and other minor tissue damage.

Clinical Herbalists speak favorably of comfrey oils and salves for use with sprains, strains, muscle pain, arthritis, bruises, and fractures.  

Traditionally, Goldenseal is applied to wound infections, rashes, ulcers, itching, eczema, acne, dandruff, ringworm, herpes blisters, and cold sores. Just like the calendula plant (please see our website), it has the ability to be used as a remedy for bruises, sprains, pulled muscles, and other minor tissue damage. Goldenseal is very prized and expensive.

The extraction of Comfrey requires special skill, and our skin oil gives you all the benefits of both Comfrey root and Goldenseal root. The two combined make a very potent skin oil and are great to have in your cabinet.

Ingredients

Comfrey Root Oil, Goldenseal Oil, Almond Oil, Beeswax, Vitamin E, and Grapefruit Seed Extract

How to Store

Store the salve in a cool, dry place, preferably in the fridge, as it contains natural preservatives like Grape Seed Extract to prevent the growth of micro-organisms. When handling the salve, use clean hands to avoid introducing additional bacteria.

This item is made entirely of high-quality natural butter and oils, so it should be kept in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. In case of slight melting during transportation, refrigerate briefly to solidify without affecting its effectiveness.

Why use a salve?

A salve offers a medium that allows the phytochemical to do their work more effectively, as the salve tends to stay in place on the affected area. The salve also offers hydration and keeps the skin moisturized.
