Natural Herbal Remedy - Herbal Relief for Irritated Skin

Here's a quick and easy recipe for a healing salve that's often the only that's ever worked for... you name the skin malady. This skin salve will work.

Herbal doesn’t mean harmless, it means plant-based. Herbal medicine is real medicine and can kill in the wrong doses, just like prescription drugs. They say medicines are different kinds of poisons given in small doses. Seems to make sense.

Here’s a little information about two different plants. One could kill if ingested over long periods of time and another that’s as benign as lawn grass. The two combined in a soothing salve will bring relief for eczema, impetigo, chafing, chapping, rashes, sprains and deep bruises, and other skin annoyances.

Ingredients for a Natural Home Remedy; Healing Medicine

The first skin healing plant is named Comfrey, or Symphytum Officinale. It has been known for centuries for its bone-mending and bruise healing properties. It goes by several names, such as, boneset, knit-bone, slippery-root and gum plant. The latter two names given for the root’s mucilaginous, sticky texture.

Comfrey has been drunk in weak teas and infusions in naturopathic medicine for centuries, but more recently it’s been discovered that comfrey can force a bout of liver disease and give adverse results for pregnant and nursing mothers. So, NEVER drink it. There are tablets on the market that have been made palatable, but comfrey isn’t supposed to be used internally, making there no reason to take a tablet of it.

Used only topically now, it can be made into better ways to apply it’s medicinal properties, like poultices and healing salves. It can be very good to heal skin abrasions, but it should never be applied to broken skin.

There are no known drug interactions, which means it can be used in unison with other herbs or medicines.

The Second of Two Herbs for This Herbal Ointment - Plantain

Plantagao Major, or, Plantain is called many names. Doorstop Weed, Stoop Weed, Porch Weed and White Man’s Foot. The latter name came from the early Europeans who migrated across the country, bringing with them and cultivating plantain everywhere they went. The Natives called it White Man’s Foot because the nature medicine seemed to be everywhere the white men were.

It’s a healing homeopathic remedy and has soothing effects for painful skin abrasions, skin irritation, scratches, cuts, rashes and it'll heal dry skin. It also has astringent properties that stop bleeding and encourage quick healing.

Make a tea or infusion out of it and it’s good to take internally. The tea turns out very light golden and is demulcent and expectorant. It gently soothes mucous membranes and stops the pain and cramping of diarrhea. It also soothes coughs, the common cold and bronchitis. Early settlers used to chop the plant into pieces and line the baby’s diaper with it to soothe diaper rash.
