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.
 |
Now USDA
Certified Organic! |
Chagrin Valley herbal salves
are made with wholesome organic ingredients!
We use organic oils, organic beeswax, organic
botanicals and
organic essential oils to create super
soothing
salves. |

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
healing herbs into emollient, soothing oils.
The herbal infused oils are blended with organic
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.

Hello,
After a few orders now, I recently ordered
the Seabuckthorn Salve to give to my Uncle
that suffers from psoriasis. Before I gave
it to him, I kept a little for myself and
began using it on my face. I am happy to
say that this stuff is incredible. I am 47
and have a few fine lines and beginning to
show a little sagging in the face area,
and have a bit of puffiness in the lower
eyelids. I also have been using it on a
scar under the chin. Again, I am happy to
say that after only 1 week, I have
actually noticed a difference; it even has
diminished some spots (sun) on my face.
Perhaps, you might consider advertising
this as an age cream/salve, as it really
does work wonders. Needless to say, I will
be ordering more for myself.

I used many 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. |

Dear Ida,
I am writing for two
reasons. Thank you for sharing your feelings about breast cancer.
I just went for my one year mammogram and I am cancer free. This
has been a difficult year I don’t need to tell you about the
emotional ups and downs and you have been so helpful.
Most important I would
like to share a story that I hope you post on your website. I am
sure there are other woman experiencing the same thing. I have been
married for 30 years. My darling husband and I have always enjoyed
a beautiful sex life. The Arimidex pill that I take for the breast
cancer really decreased my libido, but sharing your life with a
loving man with a bit more cuddling we were able to overcome that
hurdle. The biggest problem was discomfort from vaginal dryness.
I tried some of the things suggested by the doctors and hated the
way they felt plus they did not work. We started using the Calendula
salve and I cannot even tell you what a difference. No more pain.
We even have some fun with it (I will not go into details). As a
breast cancer survivor I have become more conscious of the
ingredients in everything. It is so great to have a natural product
that actually works. You are a special lady Ida. I think it is
your genuine love for people that makes you so creative. Please
know that you are always in my prayers.

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.
