Yarrow Skin Shield

Made with locally wildcrafted Yarrow flowers and Narrow Leaf Plantain infused into olive oil and solidified with Colorado beeswax.

Yarrow has been well known through the milenia to be one of the best wound healing plants, now known in modern herbalism for its antimicrobial, styptic (slows bleeding) and vulnerary (accelerates wound healing) properties. Along with plantain which is well known to reduce pain and swelling of bee stings, makes this salve a prime remedy for minor cuts, bug bites, or cracking skin that is slow to heal. Very good for dry, cracking lips at the change of seasons.
