Which formula is best for you?

Arnica is well known for helping soothe sore muscles, heal bruises, and reduce swelling after a strain or injury.

Arnica is an anti-inflammatory and analgesic.

Topically applied, arnica speeds up bruise recovery by increasing blood flow to the area (dispersing congested blood and fluids from injured tissue).

Makes a wonderful massage medium.

Calendula is known for its ability to soothe skin irritation, reduce inflammation, support wound healing, encouraging the regeneration of healthy tissue.

Rose petals (included in the calendula formula) also reduce redness and inflammation, are antibacterial, and act as a gentle antiseptic to aid skin healing and hydration.

Traditionally used for cuts, rashes, and burns—also great under a raw nose, on chapped lips, to soften dry hands & feet, or to relieve skin conditions like psoriasis or eczema. Makes for a wonderful massage medium. Generally safe for ongoing use, on broken skin, etc.

Comfrey, also known as “the bone mender” or “knitbone”, is traditionally known for its ability to support the healing of bones, ligaments, & connective tissue.

Comfrey is rich in compounds like allantoin and rosmarinic acid, which promote tissue repair and blood flow.

Comfrey is often used for strains, sprains, and deep injuries, working beneath the surface to support structural healing.

Makes for a wonderful massage medium.

Deep Penetrating Castor-Oil Formula

Castor oil boosts efficacy by helping carry herbs and essential oils deep into tissues, delivering restorative care and healing where it is needed most.

How does it do this?
Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid, which has an extremely small molecular weight, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the skin and be more readily transdermally absorbed than most other cosmetic or carrier oils.

Nourishing you inside and out, all ingredients are certified organic and lovingly blended, extracted, and poured by hand.
