Making this salve was a life changer for our founder. Leonie suffered from nasty contact dermatitis on her hands and feet from using liquid body washes.
Weeds to the rescue
She went to see Nerys Purchon - her herbal mentor - who recommend that she look for 2 particularly powerful weeds that would help calm and heal her skin. Chickweed and Plantain.
Wildcrafting & infusing
Both of these "weeds" were growing in the waste grounds around moon haven and Leonie set about wildcrafting them, drying and then infusing the herbs in wonderful sunflower and olive oil.
Chickweed & Plantain Salve is born
She made these infusions onto a salve and voila... within a few days her hands and feet were much improved.
Our moonies love this salve to help soothe large areas of distressed, itchy skin... skin that is often found with conditions like eczema, psoriasis and contact dermatitis.
While they use our Universal Herbal Ointment to assist with the broken skin areas of these conditions- Chickweed and Plantain Salve is wonderful as a protective and soothing layer for those generally red and inflamed areas where the skin is mainly intact.
