Due to getting burnt, cut and injured many times in the forge, I have put together a salve to support this and I thought I'd share it with you here.

I’ve added the following to this salve ;

Comfrey for its powerful cell regenerative properties and anti inflammatory benefits, you must be careful using this on deep wounds, make sure there is no infection or dirt left in as this has been known to heal an infection inside, so clean well first.

St Johns Wort for its wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties. As a salve it may speed the healing of wounds, bruises, varicose veins and mild burns. *When taken internally it has a sedative and pain-reducing effect. I'd recommend purchasing a tincture for added pain relief if needed. Avoid taking it internally if on birth control as it can stop it from being effective.

Mugwort for its calming effects on the nervous system. It’s been known to help with nerve pain such as sciatica. Mugwort has been used for centuries as a ceremonial plant in the UK and overseas, to aid in lucid dreaming and visions during meditation. It has also been known for its hormone balancing properties, for this reason, It’s best to stay away from mugwort if pregnant.

Calendula for its wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties. It may benefit in the healing of external bleeding, minor burns, bruising or strains. On its own it has been known to help with slow healing also, like ulcers.

It is important to seek medical advice before using if unsure from a medical herbalist. Go to a doctor if you believe you have severely damaged your back and or joints in any way, or received severe burns. This salve is here as a support and Not a cure. I repeat it is Not a cure.

*do not take this salve internally. For external, topical use only.
