Calendula & Chickweed Salve

Description

Traditionally soothing for minor cuts and abrasions, rashes, bites, stings and sunburn, Calendula and Chickweed are your garden allies. This is a suitable salve for all skin types and is most often used to come to the rescue but can be used daily to ease the discomfort of dry, flaky and itchy skin patches.

Calendula is like sunshine in a flower, she is ruled by the Sun and brings radiance and joy to all who know her. Calendula flowers are rich in antioxidants and oil-soluble vitamins, which are delivered directly to the skin to soothe and calm inflamed or irritated tissues.

Chickweed was my first garden ally! Seasonally grown in the cooler months on the farm, this herb is ruled by the Moon and cooling and moistening in nature. Chickweed is nutrient rich and often used in compresses, poultices and salves to reduce inflammation and encourage the body’s wound-healing processes.

All of our products are made in small batches from herbs, berries and flowers grown on the farm using organic and biodynamic principles. Flowers or leaf material is infused in locally made organic oils for a full lunar cycle before they are sieved and stored, ready to be made into salves and creams. Hand-harvested beeswax is used to stabilise the creams and salves and the natural preservatives of Rosemary and Grapefruit seed extract ensure no chemicals are needed.
