According to several studies listed on WebMD, antibiotic salves can contribute to a dramatic increase in resistant bacteria such as STAPH and MRSA. These nasty little bugs get in the little everyday scrapes and cause major problems. If they reach the bloodstream, they can even be deadly. Antibiotic creams can also block our body’s production of good bacteria that live on the skin to colonize and protect the body from invading bad bacteria.
A natural, safe, and more effective option is our Ancient Medicine Herbal Skin Salve. We named it Ancient Medicine because for centuries these herbs have been used over the years to effectively aid skin problems. We haven’t invented anything new but we restored and repurposed it into a salve that is easy to use and convenient to have on hand when needed.
Our herbal salve is made with herbs like plantain, comfrey, calendula, rosemary, and yarrow in an organic-rich antioxidant olive oil base.
Why our herbal salve works:
- – Plantain – a known topical treatment for skin rashes, eczema, bites, stings, and other skin injuries. In addition, it is an anti-toxin (the Native Americans use it on snake bites), contains antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, promotes coagulation, and minimizes scarring.
- – Comfrey – contains allantoin which promotes healing and cell formation, it is anti-inflammatory and boosts the immune system to heal the infected area faster
- – Calendula – offers anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. It soothes itchy skin. According to a study published in the Journal of Basic and Clinical Physiology and Pharmacology, calendula promotes the growth of collagen and increases wound healing by up to 90%
- – Rosemary – offers anti-bacterial properties, has analgesic properties (pain killer), and is a coagulant (promotes blood clotting), it also aids in increasing skin elasticity.
- – Yarrow -offers anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps repair damaged tissue and is effective at stopping bleeding.
- – Olive Oil -is highly effective in treating certain kinds of acne, diaper rash, and eczema. It contains anti-inflammatory properties and penetrates deeply into the skin, carrying the herbal infusion quickly through the dermal layers. Additionally, olive oil contains squalene which is a naturally occurring substance in our skin’s oil glands that protects against toxins and prevents moisture loss. Vitamin E and hydroxytyrosol, a unique antioxidant and antibacterial compound, are also found in olive oil.

I used this on my skin when I had burned it from my oven. It made my hand feel better instantly and seemed to heal it faster.
