All Natural Organic
Healing Herbs Salves

Skip intro and go directly to HERBAL SALVE Selections!

 

If you are my age, (50 something!), you remember topical ointments and salves from the corner drugstore.  They may have felt soothing, but these salves were made primarily of petroleum products, like petroleum jelly, and were not truly agents of healing. 

Chagrin Valley herbal salves are made with 100% natural organic ingredients.  There are . . .

  • no petroleum products

  • no preservatives or emulsifiers

  • no parabens

  • no alcohol

  • no synthetic fragrances

Whether you call them balms, salves, or ointments, Chagrin Valley Natural Herbal Salves are made in small batches to insure a fresh, high quality salve We begin by infusing organic or wildcrafted healing herbs into emollient, soothing oils.  The herbal infused oils are blended with natural unrefined beeswax to create wonderful, creamy, rich, and concentrated herbal salves that nourish your skin.  Our friends call them "un-petroleum jelly."
 

 

Our salves are made without water and therefore need no preservatives.  They will be absorbed slower than water-based creams or lotions,  but within minutes our Herbal Salves bring the natural herbal infusions directly to your skin.  A little goes a long way.  Although you can reapply them as often as you like, you will notice that our little salves have a great staying power!

 
 

I have been making many of these salves for friends and family for years.  At their urging, I have added them to our product line. 
 
For information on the properties of the individual herbs used, please visit our Properties of Herbs and Botanicals page.  Before deciding which herbal salves to use, take the time to research the herbs, especially if you are planning to use herbs with which you are not familiar. 

Although these are ALL natural formulas, it is recommended that you do an allergy Patch Test before using any new product. 

Also, although we always love to hear from you, please do not ask us for advice to how to treat medical issues.  Please understand that we are not allowed to diagnose or treat medical problems.

To help you decide which salve is best for you, I have included some information about how our friends and family have used the various salves over the years. ***

I used all of my salves while undergoing radiation treatment for breast cancer.  I used the St. John's Wort salve the most, applying it immediately after every treatment; and rotated the other salves throughout the day as needed.  I had no problems with skin breakdown.  Please remember that each of us is unique and there is no guarantee that it will work for everyone.  My Radiation Oncologist was quick to point out that we do not know how my skin would have faired had I simply used the lotion that was supplied.

I just wanted to say how much I love the St. John's Wort salve.  After having surgery, I started using this on my incisions once they were healed over, and it is amazing how much it soothed and helped heal the scars.  There was one in particular that I thought would end up an ugly, raised scar, but quickly shrunk down to normal-looking skin by using this every day.  I've also found it works well on acne scars.  Can't wait to try out the other two I'm ordering!

I just wanted to send a thank you/review for your Goldenseal and Myrrh Salve. I had a mole removed from a back a few months ago and ordered the salve that day. While waiting for the order to arrive I used Neosporin (had it on hand and the doctor recommended it). The removal site very quickly became inflamed and filled with pus. When I finally received my salve I gave the site a good cleaning with betadine (the only time I had to use it) and began using the Goldenseal and Myrrh Salve exclusively. There was never again a sign of infection or irritation and the site healed over into a surprisingly low-profile scar. I still use the salve on all my bumps and bruises and it makes a very nice cuticle salve for dry winter hands. Thanks for creating a great product. I'll probably be ordering the sweet dreams salve next. 
 

PLEASE NOTE:  On warm sunny days please keep your Herbal Salves out of direct sunlight or heat. If your product melts, place it in the refrigerator until it becomes firm. This does not harm the quality of the product.
