The much-loved and highly popular all-natural Soothing Salve is ideal to use to support healing of the perineum after childbirth, perfect for small tears, grazes, “skid marks” etc.
The Soothing Salve is made from gentle, natural ingredients sourced from home-grown, home-run businesses just like Blissful Herbs.
Not only are the ingredients healthy for body and planet, but I'm so pleased to be able to support other family-based and local businesses, through using their quality ingredients in the Soothing Salve.
It's a great thing to have in the birthing woman's 'birth kit', along with the Post Natal Bliss healing bath herbs, for a fantastic post natal healing regime.
It is also perfect for using during nappy changes. It makes meconium so easy to wipe away, and it moisturises the skin and helps prevent nappy rash.
It is specially formulated to also be safe to use for nipple care during breastfeeding. Apply after feeds, and by the time you feed again, the salve will have been absorbed into your skin. There is no need to wash or rinse your nipples.
It can also be used for general family first aid, for minor skin problems like cuts, scrapes, grazes, itchy bites, rashes and mild eczema.
The Soothing Salve contains:
Cold-pressed virgin Olive Oil which has been infused with herbs by the Solar Method – (Lavender, Calendula, Comfrey, Goldenseal, Rosemary, Sage & Thyme).
Organic Coconut Oil – healing, moisturising, naturally anti-septic, excellent for eczema and to support hormone balance.
Organic Rosehip Oil – contains EFAs (essential fatty acids), necessary for protecting cell membranes as well as vitamin E, beta carotene and the antioxidant lycopene, excellent for soothing, moisturizing and healing the skin.
Organic Calendula Oil – with anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial anti-fungal and antiseptic effects, excellent for skin healing, moisturising and to treat nappy rash and eczema. Rich in anti-oxidants and helps reduce bruising.
Organic Hempseed Oil – rich in EFAs and GLAs, particularly helpful for skin rashes, eczema etc.
Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) - a potent vulnerary healing herb with anti-microbial actions.
Organic Beeswax – rich in propolis, another superb healing agent from nature.
My unique blend of pure organic essential oils, which gives the salve a beautiful subtle scent.
Testimonial:
"Ahh... Blissful Herbs Soothing Salve, I haven’t even finished my jar and I’m in love. I could smell it the second I opened my latest package from Blissful Herbs, and immediately tried it as a lip balm. Since then it has been a treatment for eczema, nappy rash, mozzie bites, and a 4-year-old’s bruised ego, and has treated all with amazing success!
The texture is lovely, and soaks in quickly, leaving soft skin and a yummy fragrance, that even my super-sensitive husband didn’t turn his nose up at! If a little hard on colder days, it warms up quickly with body heat and doesn’t leave a greasy layer.
Eczema is much improved almost immediately as the dry skin is remedied on application, my skin just drinks up the salve, and with consistent, longer term use my skin should heal properly. Mild nappy rashes are visibly improved within a couple of hours and gone within a day, not to mention the gentle herbal fragrance from the salve is a pleasant surprise on opening a worn nappy! I’m loving it as a lip balm too, a thin layer soothes chapped lips quickly, and lasts for ages, and doesn’t transfer to glasses or affect the taste of my food.
Knowing it’s all natural is wonderful with four busy children under 8, who ‘need’ to have cream on every bumped knee, and while I would previously say no to (chemical) cream unless there was a ‘real’ injury, the Soothing Salve is a lovely option to let them have their bumps treated every time, without worrying about what else is going into their skin.
Feels great, smells great, and works great! Can’t recommend it enough!"
