• Lobelia Oil acts as a relaxant on tense muscles when it is applied externally; it is useful in the treatment of chronic sprains and minor injuries.
• Comfrey Oil is sometimes used on the skin to treat wounds and reduce inflammation from sprains and broken bones. Comfrey roots and leaves have allantoin, which is a substance that is known to help new skin cells grow. It also contains phytonutrients that may help reduce inflammation and keep skin healthy.
• Honey offers antimicrobial and antibacterial qualities, great for wound healing. It may also help with oily and acne-prone skin due to its antibacterial and antiseptic properties. Honey is a humectant which means it will keep your skin moist, but not oily.
• Wheat Germ Oil softens and promotes skin flexibility while protecting and moisturizing the skin. The oil has anti-aging qualities that help the skin decrease the appearance of wrinkles and other visible indications of age. The oil has a lot of emollient qualities that help to soothe dry skin.
• Beeswax creates a protective layer on the skin. It offers humectant properties, which means that it retains moisture while also preserving the overall properties of the salve.  It is also a natural exfoliator, making it ideal for removing dead skin cells.
