*NEW* A wildcrafted jewelweed salve for soothing relief and skin restoration. Apothecary Addict's simple jewelweed salve is a small-batch, artisan remedy designed to soothe, calm, and restore irritated skin. Made with love and intention, this healing salve features a blend of wild and sustainably harvested jewelweed infused into organic extra-virgin olive oil. I've further enriched this creation with organic jojoba and non-GMO grape seed oils infused with in-house extracts of potent and healing organic plantain and locally grown and hand-harvested comfrey โ each chosen for their time-honored skin-supporting properties (wound healing and calming). To elevate its soothing and antimicrobial qualities, I've added a blend of 100% pure essential oils: lavender, eucalyptus, and tea tree.
--- ๐ฟ Benefits of Jewelweed ๐ฟ ---
๐ฟ Jewelweed contains several compounds, including juglone, flavonoids, and saponins, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties for the skin. These compounds are believed to help alleviate itching and irritation from conditions like poison ivy rashes.
๐ฟ Jewelweed: 'Impatiens capensis' or 'Impatiens pallida' - has long been used in folk medicine as a natural remedy for skin irritation.
๐ฟ Anti-itch + Soothing: The plant's juices contain compounds that help neutralize urushiol (the irritating oil in poison ivy, oak, and sumac), making it famous as a natural antidote for those rashes.
๐ฟ Anti-inflammatory: Helps calm redness, swelling, and irritation from bug bites, stings, rashes, or minor burns.
๐ฟ Anti-fungal + Antimicrobial: Traditionally used to help with fungal skin issues (like athlete's foot) and to discourage infection in minor scrapes.
๐ฟ Moisturizing + Healing Support: When infused into an oil and made into a salve, it creates a protective, nourishing barrier that supports the skin's healing process while keeping it hydrated.
๐ฟ In salve form: Jewelweed infused in organic extra virgin olive oil and then thickened with raw beeswax provides a handy remedy for preventing and soothing poison ivy rash if applied soon after exposure, or for calming itchy, irritated skin in general.
๐ฟ In soap form: Jewelweed soap provides a soothing cleanse for dry, irritated, or otherwise upset skin-types.
