CM Salve
(Formerly Skin Irritation)
Learning with LaRee
CM is a basic salve for healing non-open wounds such as breaks and sprains. It is particularly good for rashes and skin irritations of many varieties. CM can be layered with Arnica oil if there is swelling. Consider using the BHM salve, instead of or along with, this one for injuries.

What are Salves:
Herbal salves are wonderful things! They are convenient to use and very powerful. Salves are made with a combination of herbs, carrier oils, and a solidifier. We prefer beeswax for our solidifier. It is a natural thickener and interacts well with the skin. It allows the skin to breathe and softens rapidly on the skin. Almond oil is the main carrier oil in our salves. We prefer almond oil because it has a mild smell, has one of the lowest rancidity factors of any carrier oil, and can handle high temperatures. The other carrier oils were chosen for their high Vitamin E and antioxidant content.
