Regenerative Healing/Pain Relief Salve
Ancient Herbs combined to speed relief and healing grown on property where we control the quality of the ingredients for optimum results. Apply topically frequently to chronic areas for a few days. After a round of treatment, use as a maintenance plan. Immediate relief is expected but because it is promoting cell division for healing, think of it as a treatment plan rather than an "as needed" option.

Our blend is comprised of pure organic olive oil infused with our comfrey and yarrow leaves grown here on the farm. Pharmaceutical grade castor oil and essential oils are added to aid in faster skin penetration and aromatherapeutic aspects (bergamot & rosemary) and preservation (lavender).
***Yarrow flower Those allergic to the Asteraceae family (such as ragweed, daisies, or chrysanthemums) may experience contact dermatitis when handling the fresh plant. We are very careful to use only the leaf in this formula - no pollen.
