Like the ancient Egyptians, we too cherish shea butter. It’s a humectant (water retainer) that diminishes water loss and protects your skin from the sun. Besides being rich in vitamins A and E and essential fatty acids, it's also filled with anti-inflammatory properties.

Calendula Flowers

In 19th century America, many physicians used calendula externally for superficial burns, bruises and wounds. In the 20th century, British author Maud Grieve states that it is primarily a local (topical) remedy and that applying the petals to insect stings will reduce pain and swelling. She also recommended a lotion made of the flowers for sprains and wounds. Sounds like Maud Grieve would support Calendula in our salves.

Many modern herbalists choose Calendula for bruises, sprains, wounds, chapped/dry skin and any type of skin inflammation, such as rashes, bed sores, leg ulcers, boils, etc. Calendula can be used for all skin types, especially for sensitive skin. Calendula has been proven to be antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, mild antispasmodic and antifungal. Even the German Commission has approved the use of Calendula externally for poor-healing wounds and foot ulcers. Calendula is so good at healing wounds, many recommend to not apply to oozing wounds, because it can heal so quickly it can seal in the pus.

Cayenne

Cayenne pepper, when applied topically, has powerful pain-relieving properties. These properties come from the active ingredient in cayenne pepper, the resinous and pungent substance known as capsaicin. Capsaicin stimulates nerve endings, so they release a receptor chemical, substance P. This release leads to substance P’s depletion. Substance P was discovered in 1931 and is a protein found in the brain and spinal cord. Substance P is responsible for transmitting pain signals to the brain. When a nerve ending has depleted all of its substance P reserves, pain signals are no longer transmitted to the brain until substance P has been replenished. The result of this is relief from aches and pains. Unfortunately, substance P is not the sole transmitter of pain, so capsaicin may only be effective in certain types of pain.

In one study, a man who experienced chronic pain due to injuries from a bomb explosion used a high concentration capsaicin patch and experienced an 80% reduction in his pain symptoms.

As capsaicin interacts with nerve endings, at first it produces pain, but quickly depletes the substance P, so that the brain no longer receives the message of pain. The result is pain relief. Capsaicin as a natural pain reliever does not pose the risks associated with common NSAIDs and other pain-relieving drugs.

Substance P is the main reason why cayenne is such an important ingredient in our relief salves.

Cocoa butter is also rich in natural plant compounds called phytochemicals. These substances may improve blood flow to the skin and slow skin aging by protecting against damage from the sun’s harmful UV rays.

One common use of cocoa butter is to smooth scars, wrinkles and other marks on the skin.

White Willow Bark

White Willow Bark, otherwise known as “nature's aspirin,” has been used for over 5,000 years. Historically, ancient Egyptians and native Americans used the bark for its analgesic, antipyretic (fever-reducing) and anti-inflammatory properties. What makes this herb so intriguing is its similarities to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), aspirin.

Today, doctors typically recommended NSAIDs like aspirin to relieve pain, fever and inflammation. Doctors often suggest adults over the age of 50 take a low dose of aspirin daily to prevent cardiovascular disease. However, according to the New England Journal of Medicine, deaths from gastrointestinal problems from NSAIDs in 1999 alone accounted for the “15th most common cause of death in the United States.” Sadly, NSAID consumption has dramatically increased since then, leading to persistent long-term use and abuse in some consumers. Due to NSAID’s life-altering, and at times life-threatening side effects, researchers are exploring alternative treatments through the use of herbs and natural supplements.

White willow trees are native throughout Europe and Central Asia. The bark of the white willow tree contains powerful flavonoids, tannins and salicin glycosides (an anti-inflammatory agent). When salicin glycosides are consumed, they metabolize through the digestive system and filter through the liver, thus becoming salicylic acid –– the active ingredient in aspirin.

Scientifically, white willow bark has been well researched in various placebo-controlled randomized studies. These studies have shown white willow bark to be highly effective in treating back and joint pain, osteoarthritis, tendonitis, etc. White willow bark also helps with pain relief, inflammation, fever, GI disorders, skin disorders, migraines, weight loss, menstrual cramps and oral care,
