I just added two new products to my eCrater store front, Lavender Salve and Calendula Salve. Both of these herbs are well known for their folk-lore tales of being extremely healthy for your skin. Although, both of these herbs are somewhat similar, they contain different healing properties. All of my products are all natural therefore their shelf life last 6 months or up to a year if you keep it in the refrigerator. I also believe in creating sample size products so both of these salves also have a sample size available to see how you like it.
I have been
using lavender for many years in many different ways. While doing research and
learning on my own, I found that lavender helps relieve headaches, soothes
burns, helps to moisturize dry chapped skin.
It has been used to soothe the rough skin on your feet, elbows and
knees. It has even helped to soothe chapped lips.
When using a
lavender balm on your temples to help relax and to aid with a headache, be sure
to NOT to get it in your eyes.
Lavender is
considered to be a relaxant, so even using it in aromatherapy; the scent relaxes and calm you.
There are a
lot of "Folk Tales" about what all Calendula has been used for. As an example-it is suppose to be great for
skin elements. It helps with stretch
marks, cold sores, athlete's foot and even diaper rash. It is a skin softener, aids with chapped
skin, varicose veins, and healing scar tissue. Often calendula in used in
formulas to help with eczema.
** If you
have a sensitivity to plants in the daisy family "DO NOT USE" **
Disclaimer: I believe in the therapeutic and healing
properties of herbs. I personally use them and have studied them well over 25
years. Under NO circumstances am I
prescribing or suggesting any kind of medical advice. Everything I have listed on the labels are all
considered to be "Folk-Lore" remedies. ALWAYS research any herb you are not
familiar with and ALWAYS consult with your medical doctor before using or
taking any herb with your regular medication.
