Refuah Multi-Purpose Healing Salve
Refuah, pronounced re-foo-ah, means healing in Hebrew. Whenever someone was sick in my Jewish home growing up, we would wish them a refuah sheleyma, a full and complete healing.
Refuah Salve is a multi-purpose healing ointment that can replace your Neosporin. It helps to heal open wounds and cuts as well as promote healing to generate new skin cells. It can be used for sun burns, cuts, infections, bruises, inflammation, itchiness, rashes, and so much more.
People love to apply this on their pets (cats, dogs, and horses). Simply re-apply if/when they lick it off.
Ingredients: foraged yarrow, plantain, field mint, homegrown calendula & comfrey, organic unrefined olive & avocado oil, local beeswax.
Size Options:
- Twist Up Tube - 0.5 oz. The perfect gift and size to keep in your daily purse/bag.
- Metal Tin - 1 oz. For those of you who like the tactile ritual. Dip your fingers into this magical salve.
- Glass Jar - 2 oz. To keep in your medicine cabinet, on your kitchen table, etc.
About the herbs:
Yarrow- stops bleeding, cleans out the bacteria from the wound, and promotes healing of the wound
Calendula- promotes new cell growth, cleans up the wound internally, soothes burns
Mint- brings cooling to the area & disperses the heat from the inflammation
Comfrey- eases dry & irritated skin, promotes tissue repair, and reduces inflammation, and speed up healing of minor injuries like bruises and sprains.
Comfrey should NOT be used on deep cuts or punctured skin because it can cause new tissue to form too quickly, without giving the underlying skin tissue the chance to heal. When the top layers of skin heal before the deeper layers, an infection or improper healing can occur.
Plantain - relieves itching, soothes inflammation, promotes wound healing
Beeswax- sourced from a family run bee-keeping practice.
How to Use: *Scoop as much salve as you would like on skin.
- Because this formula has comfrey in it, we advice you to NOT apply this ointment unto any truly deep cuts. Read more about comfrey in the “ingredients” section. This salve can be used to ease skin irritations & injuries such as dry skin, burns, sprains, bruises, or superficial cuts.
Reviews:
- The only healing salve you need in your medicine cabinet. I have used this with great success for VERY quick relief on a painful burn received from boiling water directly on the fingers. Once applied, I noticed about a 70% reduction in the searing pain within less than 5 minutes. I have also worked with this salve for support in soothing & healing eczema flares. 11/10 recommend :)- Jolie D- Nov 18,2024
- I am so in love with all that plant healing woman has to offer! The Refuah First Aid Salve has become an absolute staple in my world as well as the Milky Oats Tincture and tallow balm! I feel so grateful to have access to medicines I trust and can share with my loved ones as well! Thank you PHW- Carly W Oct 7,2024
- This salve is amazing. I use it for my physical pain/inflammation, scars, and bug bites. I just discovered that it does WONDERS for poison ivy. Apply it up to 4 times and it’s gone!!!- Izz H July 14,2023
- Gorgeous salve clearly full of herbal goodness. I carry this with me in my bag now, knowing it can be used to help with stings, irritation, or dry skin whenever I need it. Has been incredibly helpful for a very itchy rash. Beautiful product Jay! I will be back for more.- Ana Lucia D May 1,2023
