Beauty Way Salve (4305)

A moisturizing aromatic balm that heals minor skin ailments.

People always ask what is this balm for or how is it used. It is a general purpose, aroma therapeutic healing balm that uplifts the spirit and heals a variety of minor skin ailments.

This Travel tin is named for the Navajo Beauty way. It represents a traditional way of seeing and living in the world. The Beauty way keeps us in harmony and is a way of honoring our sacred connection with the ancestors. It showed not just a way of understanding but a way of being.  In our Navajo world Juniper and Sage brush were used as part of our daily lives. They have practical and spiritual uses as well as medicinal.

It seemed appropriate that we name this balm with two of our most sacred plant medicines in it for our Holy way of living the “Beauty way”.

The plant medicines in this balm give spiritual and medicinal healing. Sage brush is considered sacred by the indigenous peoples of North America. This plant is used in healing ceremonies and for purification. Sage brush can be brewed into a strong bitter tea that is very efficient at killing intestinal parasites. This Tea has saved me many times from a sour stomach or mild food poisoning. This same bitter resin that is tasted in a brew of the tea also provides many benefits when infused into a balm or salve. Sage brush has anti microbial powers and helps heal minor skin issues. Juniper is also anti microbial helping heal small wounds and has a cleansing positive effect on the spirit.

The Lavender we use in the balm is organically grown in Oregon and has an incredible sweet smell.
