This is the most popular of all of the things we make. It is quite remarkable for joint and muscle pain. Either new pain (from over use), injury/trauma, or older chronic pains. All are often greatly reduced after a few minutes when this is rubbed into the area.  Bruised areas heal in days with arnica. Arnica flower medicines have been used for this, all over the world, for hundreds of years.

This is the best stuff I’ve ever used for healing up the sore nipples that some women get when getting started with lactation. It is also super to help heal almost any red, dry skin irritation: sunburn, diaper rash, psoriasis, bed sores, sore baby bottoms, even the itch of poison ivy and bug bites. A little goes a long way. It is made from fresh comfrey leaves, vegetable oil and a tiny bit of vitamin E to keep it fresh. Some herbalists feel that comfrey should not be used on the skin for longer than a few weeks. But usually a few days of treatment is all that you should ever need.

Contains: Fresh Comfrey Leaves, Vegetable Oil, Beeswax, Paraffin, Vitamin E

Available in 2, and 4 oz. plastic jars.

Catnip (Napeta cataria) - A classic cure for colic, but the most common use for this one is to help with better sleep! This is the remedy to use when you lie in bed and your body is exhausted, but your brain won’t shut off so that you can get some sleep! One of the nice things about catnip is that you wake up refreshed, not hung over in any way. Use 2 drops under the tongue, repeat in 5 minutes, if not asleep by then.

Available in 0.5 and 1 oz dropper bottles.

Yellow Root - (Xanthorhiza simplicissima, Ranunculaceae) This is a very strong tincture, with dramatic results. It helps with nausea, morning sickness of pregnancy, vomiting, motion sickness and sour stomach and indigestion. This quiet little plant grows wild beside the creek, down the hill from our house. The intense yellow of its color is evident in the tincture. Usually one drop under the tongue is all that is needed. Repeat when & if you need it. A ½ oz. bottle will last you a very long time, so don’t bother with a whole ounce unless you are a midwife and will need that much over the years (or have a big family).

Available in 0.5 and 1 oz dropper bottles.

Colic Mix - This is a combination of the classic digestive-calming herbs: catnip, chamomile, peppermint, and fennel seed (this last one, the best for "lower end” gas problems). Usually 4-6 drops in a teaspoon of water is all that's needed. Good idea to use hot water and wait for it to cool, so that most of the alcohol evaporates out when using for babies. Repeat as needed. Also good for belly aches on older than baby aged folks, use 2 drops under the tongue, or 8-15 drops in 1 oz. of water, as needed.

Available in 0.5 and 1 oz dropper bottles.
