Have you had a chance to listen to my podcast this week all about the gifts of chickw**d?
🌿
Chickw**d is hands down my favorite plant for itchy situations. It also supports the skin and lymph and is also used for acute situations like pink eye and coughs.
🌿
Whether you are already head over heels for chickw**d or are ready to redeem this special w**d, there’s something for you in this latest podcast.
🌿
You’ll also get my chickw**d salve recipe, which is my favorite salve for pesky bug bites and other random itchy skin conditions.
🌿
Rub it over bug bites, hot rashes, clean wounds, diaper rashes, or any itchy skin conditions. The optional lavender essential oil is also wonderful for the same conditions, provides a nice scent, and mildly helps the salve to last longer.
🌿
𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞:
2 large handfuls of fresh chickw**d
1 ¼ cups olive oil
1 ounce (28 g) beeswax
30 to 50 drops(¼ to½ teaspoon) lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
essential oil (optional)
🌿
