HC05 - Wounded Warrior- Herbs for skin healing

from Sourdough Modernity · host StringFellow Hawke

In this week’s episode, we’re talking all about one of my favorite everyday essentials — the Wounded Warrior Salve — my grown-up version of the “boo boo bear” I begged my mom for every time I scraped a knee or got a bruise back in the 90’s. (Yes, I may have cried when she finally threw it away — what can I say, I’m a nostalgic soul.)This salve is that same kind of comfort in a tin — soothing, antibacterial, and deeply healing — perfect for bumps, bruises, bites, burns, and all the little skin scrapes life throws our way. Whether you’re 5 or 55 or 105, this is for you.We’ll explore the herbs that make this salve so special — Plantain for drawing out splinters and soothing burns, Comfrey for speeding healing and easing aches, Desert Willow for its antifungal and antiseptic magic, Chamomile for calming inflammation and redness, Calendula for mending skin and preventing infection, and Creosote for its powerful wound-healing protection.A true herbal first aid — gentle enough for kids, strong enough for warriors, and versatile enough that, yes, you can even use it on your lips.Tune in to learn how these plants work together to mend the skin, comfort the spirit, and remind us that healing is a process — one we can meet with tenderness and a little salve in our pocket.🌿 Follow along on Instagram @savagesoulsbotaniksTo purchase this salve visit www.savagesoulsbotaniks.com and go to shop P.S. - WE HAVE MERCH NOW!https://ky1pgh-dy.myshopify.com/

Something is rippling through humanity at this moment. It's a stirring... a longing... a remembering. A sense that we are more capable than we’ve been led to believe. We want to feel alive, not sedated.. but we've lost our way. We've traded a life intertwined with nature for asphalt and artificial lights. We've swapped natural movement for a sedentary existence. We've given up food from the earth in favor of food from the factory. We've sacrificed our traditional skillsets for apps and gadgets. But while our overdose on modernity may have made us sick, there is an antidote. Join best-selling author and mentor, Jill Winger, each week as she digs into a different facet of the old-fashioned on purpose lifestyle.
