A balm made of your placenta and a variety of healing herbs and oils offers healing properties to c-section scars once they are healed, hemorrhoids, perineal tearing, cracked or blistered nipples, eczema, sun burn, nappy rash (can be made cloth nappy safe!), skin irritation and more. The herb added to your salve are calendula, chamomile, comfrey and geranium as well as essential oils of lavender making it a super healing, natural triple antibiotic ointment that also soothes and smells amazing!
Calendula is a very soothing gentle herb which contains oil soluble components such as carotenoids and sterols that are especially good at stimulating wound healing and prevent infection. The use of Comfrey as a herbal balm for cuts and bruises is legendary. Comfrey is anti-inflammatory and speed wound healing due to its natural concentration of allantoin.
