This is a collection of the herbal creams, salves, liniments and insect repellent I make using herbs mainly from my own herb garden.
I have found that using the herbs that I have grown or gathered in the wild, harvested, dried and processed without using chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or fungicides are naturally better for you and the environment.
Essential oils, bees wax and grapefruit seed extract keep these products fresh at normal room temperature.
Did you Know?
* Your skin is the largest organ of your body; it’s also a great sponge. Many substances are absorbed into your body through your skin within seconds!
* It’s better being green, If the herbal plant products you buy are pure white or clear, chances are there are very little of the plant properties in the product.
* Most commercially made creams have very little oil in them. They mainly consist of water and alcohols. This is why it feels like the skin absorbs the cream very quickly without a greasy feel. This type of cream does not moisturize, it actually has the potential to dry the skin more because of the alcohols.
Creams
Wrinkles are a fact of life; I would love to discover a natural-magical new product that would erase them forever! The good news is, you can soften and make them less noticeable by moistuzing.
My creams are made the “Old Fashion” way with oils, distilled or flower water, a little bees wax to thicken and borax to bind. This produces a heavy cream that needs to be applied over lightly water moistened skin for day time wear. My creams truly moisturize and protect your skin and because you need to use so little a jar may last 6 – 8 months or more.
Skin Food Moisturizer - 40ML - $6.00
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the Chickweed on the other side......Chickens know how vitamin rich Chickweed is. I call this Chickweed infused cream a vitamin pill for your skin. The Calendula helps to soften and heal, Cucumber cools and reduces puffiness, and exotic oils help to moisturize.
This cream can be used under the eyes, on the face or body. *Please apply only a very small amount to water moistened skin. Unlike most commercial creams which consist of drying alcohols, water, very little oil, (and other ingredients I can’t pronounce), my creams are made with herbal infused oils so they may feel too heavy if applied without a little water.
This cream contains my Chickweed and Calendula infused in Grape seed, Rosehip, Camellia, Evening Primrose, Jojoba, Sunflower, Vitamin E and Shea butter oils. Cucumber water, Aloe Vera gel, lanolin and Litsea essential oil.
Rose Petal Cream - 40 ml - $6.00
The Rose is not just a pretty face in the botanical kingdom. Rose petals have been used for gentle skin care for centuries. This Rose Petal infused cream is perfect for all skin types. Use it under the eyes, and as a body moisturizer.
Please apply only a very small amount to water moistened skin. Unlike most commercial creams which consist of drying alcohols, water, very little oil, (and other ingredients I can’t pronounce), my creams are made with herbal infused oils so they may feel too heavy if applied without a little water.
This cream contains my Rose Petals infused in Grape seed, Rosehip, Camellia, Evening Primrose, Jojoba, Sunflower, Vitamin E and Shea butter oils. Rose water and Aloe Vera gel, lanolin and Rose essential oil.
Heavy Duty Hand Cream - 40 ml - $6.00
There’s nothing “lite” about this cream, and I can’t imagine life without it. Absolutely nothing can take its place, I’ve tried. If you have dry, chapped, cracked hands look no further. I smooth it over the hands and push extra into cuticles and cracks in the skin at night. By morning they are healed over, larger cracks may take two nights. Work smaller amounts into the skin for day time wear, the protective barrier will last for hours.
This cream contains my Cottonwood buds, my Comfrey and my Calendula infused in Olive, Castor, Jojoba, Sunflower, Vitamin E and Shea Butter oils. Rose water, Aloe Vera gel, lanolin and essential oils of Peppermint, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Cinnamon, Tea Tree, German Chamomile and Wintergreen.
Salves
Healing Salve - 40 ml - $6.00
I could write a book about what people have used this for. It is effective on cuts, scrapes, acne, boils, blisters, insect bites and stings. Use it to poultice, to relieve pain and stop bleeding. Rub a little on your sunburn after it cools down and the red is usually gone by morning. It works well on animals too. I've used it on my cats and dog with great success.
This salve contains my Comfrey, Chaparral, my Cottonwood buds, my Echinacea leaf and my Yarrow infused in castor and olive oils with Tea tree essential oil.
Pain and Bruise Salve - 40 ml - $6.00
Nothing I read about Arnica prepared me for my first experience. I won’t bore you with the details, but due to reckless living, I found myself with a bright red blood blister forming at the bottom of a quarter inch deep dent in my shin. The pain was excruciating! I put on a good blob of this, which instantly stopped the pain, then a bandage and forgot about it. When the bandage came off later I was surprised to find no blood blister, no bruise and NO pain! Always be sure to use on un-broken skin only!
This salve contains Arnica and my St. Johns Wort infused in Castor and Olive oils.
Eczema Salve - 40 ml - $6.00
Many people (myself included) have used this with success to calm down a patch of eczema without resorting to prescription drugs. Eczema does not like to be smothered though so use a very thin layer of this to relieve the itchiness and calm down the redness of eczema, insect bites and stings.
This salve contains my Cottonwood buds, my Licorice root, my Pine Sap infused in Olive oil with German Chamomile essential oil.
Diaper Salve - 40 ml - $6.00
What did mothers use before petroleum jelly? Lanolin of course, the most natural and safest skin barrier for babies. The lanolin and herbs in this salve will protect, heal, fight bacteria and help sooth red inflamed skin. This also gently helps heal teething rashes, other skin irritations and insect bites and stings on delicate skin.
As well as lots of lanolin, this salve contains my Pine Sap, my Chickweed, my Cottonwood Buds infused in olive oil with essential oils of German Chamomile, and Lavender.
Healing Mint Lip Balm – Tube - $2.00
Just say NO to cold sores and keep those lippies kiss-able! At the first tingle of a cold sore put this on and keep it on and the cold sore will retreat. But this is not just a cold sore remedy. It is meant for use every day to heal, moisturize and protect.
This lip balm contains my Chickweed, my Cottonwood buds and my Calendula infused in Grape seed, Olive, Castor, Rosehip, Camellia, Evening Primrose, Sunflower, Vitamin E and Shea Butter oils with lanolin. Essential oils of Tea Tree, Peppermint, Spearmint and Wintergreen.
