Balms, Salves & more Balms

Herbal balms are probably one of my favorite things to make.. I really enjoy harvesting the new spring botanicals and making my own herbal infusions to be used in my soaps & skin care items.
Harvesting spring comfrey, chickweed, horsetail, goldenseal, violets, burdock, & plantain are among my favorites. After weeks of infusing they are then incorporated into my healing salves and hand balms.
Hundreds of tins of Old Goat Muscle Rub, Gardener's Hand Balm, Herbal Healing Salve, Calendula Baby Balm, Herbal Lip Saver & Bug Off! will then be prepared and readied for our customers and summer shows.
