Two Luminaries Herbal Salve - 80gm

While Calendula repairs and cleanses the surfaces and nearby lymphatic channels, Daisy guides the solar rays more deeply into the layers of tissue, allowing the healing to melt in sweetly. Chickweed cools and croons, moistening and taking the excess heat out, and reducing inflammation. It smells potently of honey from the luscious local beeswax from @beesfriendau and is an absolute treat to rub in to dry skin.

Beautiful for hot, itchy, dry, irritated skin, such as with eczema, or to help better repair of wounded tissues (not to be applied directly onto wounds, however, but around them).

INCLUDED

80gm of salve in a round aluminium tin. An info card with care and application instructions.

USE & DOSAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Always try a little test patch on a healthy bit of skin first, such as the back of your hand, and wait for 15-30 minutes before more liberal use.

Apply to dry, itchy, red, sore or inflamed skin, with care not to put directly on to open skin - apply around the open area instead.

Take care not to lather the salve on top of active infections, pus-filled or ulcerated sores, as it can create a barrier on top, trapping the fluids that need to be drained - carefully apply the salve around the area instead. If unsure, test on a small patch of skin and wait 24 hours to observe whether it has helped or hindered.

It is beautiful lathered on dry, cracked skin from eczema, dermatitis or psoriasis, but keep in mind a salve creates a barrier, and the area will stay moist for some time - this is part of why it is so nourishing. I often use it when my daughter has eczema flare ups before she gets in the bath, as it gives her about 30 minutes with the salve on which can then be easily rinsed off. It is also good pre-bedtime. Consider using it at a time of day when the salve can just sit and slowly infuse over an hour or so, if possible.

BIRTH & CREATION INFO

Created early November 2024.

INGREDIENTS

Calendula officinalis, Bellis perrenis and Stellaria media infused in a 1:1 mix of sweet almond and jojoba oil, high quality beeswax.

SAFETY & CAUTIONS

Calendula, Bellis and Chickweed are considered safe herbs, though those allergic to plants from the Asteracea family should consider avoiding it’s use.

As already mentioned, do not apply directly on to open wounds but instead apply around them. Do not lather over pus-filled or ulcerated wounds, as the barrier the salve creates may inhibit proper drainage of waste fluids from the wound, and trap the infection within.
