Solstice Soothe Healing Salve

This balm is a love song to the body after fire.
A prayer in plant form.
A remembrance of the way Earth cools and cradles when the heat of life grows too loud.

Crafted with Peppermint, Plantain, Calendula, and Chamomile, plants who know how to hold the flame without being consumed. These herbs were slowly infused under the sun, then blended into a soothing balm for skin and spirit alike.

Peppermint opens the pores and clears stagnant Heat, inviting breath back into the skin.

Plantain, draws out fire and irritation

Calendula moves blood through the tissue, softening inflammation and inviting repair.

Chamomile comforts the nervous system and calms the Heart, gently harmonizing Shen, the Spirit that rides in our blood.

In the language of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Summer is the realm of Fire and the Heart. When Fire is in balance, we radiate joy, connection, warmth. When it overflows, we burn. This balm is a cooling invocation back to balance.

Ritual Use:
Apply after sun, after ceremony, after overstimulation. Rub gently into skin that has carried too much heat, physical or emotional. This is medicine that asks you to slow down. To feel. To return to the body with reverence.
