Calendula salve

Whether it’s soothing our garden ravage hands, or nourishing our chapped winter skin, this recipe has been a salve-ation in our house.  

It’s great for use on scrapes, mild burns and diaper rash. We even rub some on our dog Cobbs’ paws when they’re looking rough and he gives it a happy two paws up.

Making a soothing salve is easy to do…you’ll need some calendula infused oil though (recipe HERE). Feel free to swap out the Calendula for any other herb of your choice…or even mix it up and try a blend of herbs.
