Healing Salve

Healing Salve. If I were on the proverbial desert island and could only take one Rainwater Farm products, this would be it. I like it so much that if I had to hawk it off the back of a truck, I would.

Do you suffer from cracked fingers, cuticles or heels? How about sunburns, poison ivy, bee stings, bruises, cuts? Psoriasis or eczema? Scars? All of these maladies can be helped with Rainwater Farm Healing Salve.

My feet are not a thing of beauty. During the summer especially, I get cracks and boy do they hurt. I will apply the Healing Salve three times, put on socks and go to bed. The next morning the crack has healed and I am on my way.

The ingredients in this salve simple, nourishing, healing: olive oil, beeswax, calendula, comfrey, goldenseal, plantain, lavender and Vitamin E oil. Just as important is what is not in the Healing Salve: No parabens (PABA), no petroleum. It is difficult to find lotions or creams without these two ingredients. Petroleum acts like an estrogen on your skin. The most common form of breast cancer loves this extra estrogen – it is what it eats to grow. Another problem is these petroleum products end up in the water system and now fish get this extra estrogen. Male fish are unable to reproduce because they have too much estrogen. They are becoming more adrogynous. If something isn’t good for human beings, it is not good for the environment.

Parabens are found in tumors. We do not know if the parabens cause the tumors or if they take up residence in already formed tumors. All we know is they end up together. Not something I want to risk.

All that’s in the Healing Salve are pure ingredients, made by nature. On a desert island or in your nightstand drawer, it’ll be one product you never want to be without.
