Organic olive oil, USA beeswax, stinging nettle, arnica, white willow bark, St. John’s wort, and cayenne powder, with ginger and lavender essential oils
Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) is one of the most commonly-used medicinal plants in the world. Stinging nettle can alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis and joint pain. Studies have also shown the anti-inflammatory benefits of stinging nettle against other autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. White willow bark (Salix alba) dates back to 400 BC and is used today for the treatment of pain and inflammatory conditions. St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) incorporates antibacterial, antioxidant, and antiviral properties, and arnica (Arnica montana) soothes muscle aches and reduces inflammation. Cayenne powder promotes blood flow to tissues and has powerful pain-relieving properties when applied directly to the skin. Inspired by Mr. Marundé Gardens, whose hands show his craft, this salve is a must-have for anyone in need of serious relief.
