Whidbey Blister Balm salve

by Ritual Mischief

$16.00

This simple balm was inspired by our hardworking small-farm farmer friends here on Whidbey and was created for friction blisters--overworked hands, fingers, feet, and toes that cry "Enough!" This simple salve holds plantain (Plantago lanceolata) and comfrey from local farms and gardens and a bit of local beeswax too.

Whidbey farmers: If you're a farmer on Whidbey Island, and it is August or September, call or text Lori before purchasing. We like to give these to local small-farm farmers as a thank you from Whidbey during the busy, hot, and sometimes grueling harvest season that also happens during the peak of tourist season here (and peak canning and putting-up-for-the-winter season). When we have extra blister balms in August and September, they find their way to local farmers for free.

WARNING: Make sure the blister area is clean before you use this salve. Comfrey tends to help skin heal so fast that it can trap dirt & other crud beneath new skin.

To use: Rinse blister area with water until clean, then pat gently with a clean cloth until dry. With a clean finger, apply a small amount of balm to the blister area. Cover with a clean bandage. Repeat once, if needed. See your medical professional if the blister worsens or doesn't heal. Use this salve within 1 year of purchase.

Ingredients: Whidbey-local comfrey and plantain (Plantago lanceolata) leaves infused in organic olive oil, local beeswax.

Size/container: Reusable 2-ounce, slip-top, food-grade tin.

Packaging: See the Packaging page on this website for details.
