A potent, traditional herbal remedy for your home first-aid kit, designed to bring comfort to hardworking bodies. Our "Rescue Salve" honors the deep wisdom of herbalism to soothe bruises, sprains, strains, and the discomfort of overworked joints.

The Given and Good Connection:
This salve celebrates Comfrey, a plant so effective it was given the folk name "knitbone." Its purposeful design lies in a special compound called allantoin, a molecule scientifically shown to speed cell proliferation. This is the good gift that helps skin and connective tissues knit themselves back together and recover. We infuse our Comfrey into light, silky Organic Apricot Kernel Oil, chosen for its own gifts of softening fatty acids and protective Vitamin E, allowing the healing properties of Comfrey to be delivered in a base that absorbs beautifully to nourish the skin.

A Gift for Aches, Pains, and Mending:
While not a medical treatment, this salve is a powerful comforting ally for the body's natural recovery processes.

  • For Bruises, Sprains, and Strains (The "Mender"): As a powerful vulnerary, this salve is best used on closed tissues (unbroken skin) to support the body's natural mending of sprains, strains, and bruises. The Allantoin works by signaling your cells to rebuild and repair the damaged connective tissues, like ligaments and tendons, more efficiently.

  • For Achy Joints & Arthritis Pain (The "Soother"): Comfrey is rich in Rosmarinic Acid, a potent anti-inflammatory compound. When applied to sore, overworked joints, it helps to calm the inflammation that causes stiffness and pain. The salve's cooling essential oil blend provides further comfort, making it a wonderful balm for soothing the discomfort associated with arthritis or physical exertion.

  • For Bone Injury Recovery (The "Knitbone" Legacy): The folk name "knitbone" refers to Comfrey's incredible ability to comfort the area around a bone injury. The Allantoin in the plant helps to speed the repair of the surrounding tissues, including the ligaments, tendons, and the periosteum (the living "skin" of the bone). It is a perfect comforting balm to apply to the skin over a fracture after it has been properly set by a doctor, or after a cast is removed to nourish the skin and underlying tissues.

Aroma Profile:
A clean, cooling, and therapeutic aroma. The immediate cooling sensation of Peppermint is blended with the purifying scent of Tea Tree and the calming floral notes of Lavender.
