Herbal Drawing Salve

This old-fashioned herbal salve has been used for generations to help draw out splinters, stingers, and other irritants that get stuck under the skin. It’s made the traditional way with calendula and plantain infused olive oil, castor oil, bentonite clay, beeswax, and activated charcoal. Each ingredient is chosen to support the skin and help ease life’s little mishaps—gentle enough for kids, too.

Just smooth a small amount over the area and cover it with a bandage if you’d like. Leave it on for several hours, then wash off and reapply as needed.

It’s a bit messy, but it’s worth it. 

No petroleum. No harsh ingredients. Just a simple salve made with care.

For external use only.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a drawing salve? 
It’s a traditional herbal remedy used to help bring things like splinters, stingers, or other gunk to the surface of the skin so they’re easier to remove.
