First, the herbs are gently harvested and dried in baskets for a couple of days. Once the herbs are dried, we cover them with an organic oil. The oil and medicinal herbs are heated for two weeks to extract the medicinal properties from the herbs. This can either be from the sun's rays or in a crockpot at a low heat.
Salves are dried herbs infused in oil and mixed with beeswax and essentail oils. This is a great way to get medicinal herbs into the body via of the largest organ, the skin, to help heal an ailment. The process of making salves is fun and creative. The whole process is done by hand, from growing and harvesting the herbs to making the salve, to labeling the jars and filling orders.
The loose herbs are removed, leaving a strong herb infused oil. We add a small amount of beeswax on low heat to thicken the oil, making it into a creamy salve.
The mixture is placed into jars to cool and essential oils are added to each jar. The finished salves are now ready to be used on the skin.
We make small batches to insure freshness and quality.
