Drawing Salve

This salve is a must-have for any first aid kit!

This salve is smooth yet slightly sticky. Apply to bug bites, splinters, and more, and cover with a bandage. Leave the salve on for a few hours or up to 12 hours, then gently remove it with a wet washcloth. Avoid getting on clothing as this salve can stain due to the charcoal.

ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS: 

Comfrey (symphytum officinalis) is a medicinal herb that can often be found growing wild. It is most known for its ability to promote healing after sprains and fractures. Comfrey can be used externally to soothe inflamed joints or injuries. It is best to avoid applying comfrey to wounds that are deep, like puncture wounds, as it can close the wound too quickly without letting the body rid of possible infection. When used in this salve, comfrey acts as an anti-inflammatory agent to calm areas that have been stung, bitten, or have a rash.

Activated charcoal is a powerful ingredient that binds to things like poison and pulls it out of your system. It can be taken internally to remedy food poisoning or used externally like in this salve.

Bentonite clay is known for its ability to pull toxins like heavy metals from substances. While it can commonly be found as an ingredient in face masks, when used in a salve it dries and tightens, binding to and pulling out foreign objects like a bee sting or splinter.

With activated charcoal and bentonite clay working together, this drawing salve is incredible for lifting things out of your skin. Think poison from bug bites, splinters, rashes, infections, and ingrown toenails.
