HEADACHE Relief Salve
{GENERAL COUPONS NOT VALID ON SALVES}
This salve is also featured in my "6 Salve" First Aid Kit --> HERE
Arnica, Peppermint, Spearmint & Lavendar are an effective combo for easing tension & stress headaches and can even take the edge off a migraine! Simply rub a small amount on the forehead, temples, back of neck and sinus areas; repeat as needed. Works best at onset - so keep this salve nearby! Or, when popping a pill just isn't enough... add some salve! This one has been a GAME CHANGER for me personally! *

It's green... will it stain? I've used these salves repeatedly and have never had any clothing stain. However... I probably wouldn't use it while in my wedding dress, and definitely don't send it through the laundry! {wink, wink!}
A NOTE ABOUT MY SALVES:
My salves are released in small homemade batches after a special (and proprietary) infusion process that took me 6 years to develop! My goal is to move as much of the natural medicinal goodness as I can from the herbs into the oil... and the result is a whole line of salves that have been uniquely currated to be surprisingly effective! In our home, we grab a salve before we EVER pop a pill!
ABOUT ARNICA: Arnica blooms have been used for medicinal purposes since the 1500's and are still popular today. Thanks to its high concentration of sesquiterpenes, it's an effective analgesic and is anti-inflammatory. It's also an anti-oxidant and is revulsive, meaning it can stimulate blood flow to surface layers of skin that can aid in and speed the healing of tissue. It's applied to the skin as a cream, ointment, salve, or tincture and is generally known to soothe muscle aches, relieve osteoarthritis, reduce inflammation, decrease pain, treat burns, and heal minor topical wounds.
ABOUT PEPPERMINT & SPEARMINT: This leafy mint combo is commonly used to treat headaches and migraine attacks. Both contain menthol, which can help relax muscles while also stimulating blood flow to the area.
ABOUT LAVENDER: Besides its divine aroma, it's widely know for its anti-microbial properties and has been used for centuries to fight infection. It's full of anti-oxidants which contribute to it's ability to speed the healing of burns, cuts and wounds by accelerating skin re-generation. It's a natural pain reliever and reduces inflammation!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
-
WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE? The shelf life of the oil in the salve is 1-2 years. However, to enjoy its medicinal benefits the most, I recommend using within a year.
-
HOW MUCH SALVE SHOULD I USE? In general, consider using a "small glop" the size of a pump or two of lotion and apply over the affected area 2-3x daily as needed (use less if it's a tiny area, of course)! In general, a minor topical skin issue will use much less salve than a joint or muscle issue where you are massaging the salve in. See my website or check your product label for specific application recommendations.
-
ARE SALVES SAFE FOR BABIES & SENSITIVE SKIN? I haven't conducted FDA approved clinical trials, so I can't label my salves as "for sensitive skin" or "baby safe." But, I can tell you MANY of my close friends and family use my salves on themselves and their families OFTEN & REGULARLY with great success and confidence. Just like with ANY new skin care product, there is always a potential for allergies or irritation... so test a small area first before using regularly or on a larger area. If you have KNOWN allergies, take note of the ingredient list provided on each label. And, of course, discontinue use if any kind of reaction or irritation occurs. Salves with menthol crystals, camphor, peppermint and eucalyptus are NOT intended for young children and babies.
- A NOTE ABOUT CONSISTENCY: Depending on the temperatures where you live, your salve will arrive with a general consistency between a neosporin-type oinment and a slightly firm vaseline. Softness of the salve will vary based on your particular climate and seasonal temperature. Since the salve contains beeswax, avoid leaving in a hot car or in the sun to prevent melting. Your tin will be shrink wrapped to prevent any dripping if it does happen to soften during transit. If melting does occur, simply put it in the refrigerator to return it to its normal consistency.
✱ DISCLAIMER... These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. For external use only. Product use suggestions are informational and is not medical advice. As with any skin care product - there is always potential for allergies. Review the ingredient list & test a small amount on your skin prior to normal use.
