Wound Healing Balm

Wound Healing Balm

Handcrafted in small batches, this healing balm is suitable for minor cuts and grazes. Pefect for your first aid kit. 

Traditional vulnerary herbs

Calendula and comfrey have a long history of external use as vulneraries—herbs traditionally used to support the healing of skin and minor wounds.

Calendula is traditionally valued for soothing inflamed skin and supporting the healing of small cuts and grazes.

Comfrey has traditionally been used in poultices and salves for skin and tissue repair, and to ease inflammation associated with minor injuries.

Mānuka has a longstanding place in rongoā Māori, including traditional preparations used for skin complaints. 

Together, these herbs form the botanical heart of our balm. Almond oil softens the skin, while beeswax helps form a protective barrier to retain moisture. 

Directions for use

After testing for skin sensitivity, apply a small amount to clean, dry skin using clean, dry hands or a clean spatula. Gently spread into a thin layer.

For external use only.  Avoid prolonged use and contact with the eyes, mouth or other mucous membranes.

Patch test before use

Apply a small amount to a small area of intact skin on the inner arm and observe for 24–48 hours before wider use. Stop immediately and gently wash off if redness, itching, burning, swelling or a rash develops.
