Burn Salve (Baby Balm)
This salve includes a variety of properties for healing burns; tissue repair and rebuilding, pain relief, inflammation and skin conditioning. It is also very effective for diaper rash, cradle cap and skin conditions on baby. I change the label to Baby Balm and gift it to new arrivals of family and friends. They usually ask for a refill!
This herbal blend can also be used to make a tea and take internally, a bath, steam, compress, oil, cream, or poultice.
