About this one
The oil for this salve is infused the same way as our Comfrey Herbal Oil — six weeks, dried leaf to organic olive oil, one part to seven — then warmed with Canadian beeswax until it sets into a balm thick enough to sit on cracked heels overnight.
Plantain leaf joins the comfrey for its own allantoin content and a cooling edge, which is why this salve reaches for both rough, split skin and skin that simply itches.
