Peace And Plantain – Hippie Salve

$10.00

1 oz.

This salve is so basic and effective it really  highlights the power of ‘less is more’.

The combination of plantain, comfrey, calendula-infused organic olive oil, Jojoba wax, and beeswax forms a potent and natural remedy for healing various skin ailments. Plantain, known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, assists in soothing irritated skin and promoting the healing of wounds and minor cuts. Comfrey contributes to the blend with its cell-regenerating qualities, aiding in the repair of damaged skin tissues. Calendula, with its anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties, promotes the healing of rashes and skin irritations. The infusion of these herbs in organic olive oil enhances their therapeutic benefits, providing deep nourishment to the skin. Jojoba wax, rich in nutrients, supports the overall health of the skin, while beeswax acts as a natural emollient, creating a protective barrier and locking in moisture. This harmonious combination results in a healing salve that addresses a spectrum of skin conditions, from minor abrasions to dryness, offering a natural and soothing solution for comprehensive skin care.

  1. This always stays in my medicine kit, camping kit and gardening bag. I don’t like to be without my own batch during what I term the “outside months”. I use this on bug bites, grass itch, cuts, bumps, bruises, spider bites. I use it on my pigs and dogs feet. I’ve even used it on my ducks.
  2. Pairs well with First Aid Herbal Healing Oil, Natural Nettle and Bug Bite Buster.

Peace and Plantain

The All-Purpose Salve with Deep Roots in Herbal Tradition

A Salve Steeped in History and Tradition

Peace and Plantain proves that less is more in herbal healing. This time-tested remedy blends simplicity with effectiveness, making it the one salve you should never be without. Whether you keep it in your home, travel kit, or garden bag, it delivers powerful results for countless skin concerns.

Plantain: “White Man’s Foot” and Its Native American Origins

Plantain (Plantago major) is the heart of this salve. Native American tribes prized it for drawing out toxins, soothing skin irritations, and supporting wound healing. After European settlers arrived, plantain spread rapidly across the continent—so much so that Native Americans nicknamed it “white man’s foot” because it seemed to appear wherever settlers traveled.

Folklore tells of plantain leaves easing snake bites, calming bee stings, and even soothing the sting of nettles. In the 19th century, naturalist Jesse Fell—known for popularizing anthracite coal—was also noted for his use of herbal remedies like plantain, adding to its legacy as a household cure-all.

A Potent Herbal Combination for Complete Skin Care

This salve blends plantain, comfrey (Symphytum officinale), and calendula (Calendula officinalis) infused into organic olive oil (Olea europaea). Together, they calm inflammation, regenerate skin cells, and promote rapid healing. Jojoba wax (Simmondsia chinensis) deeply nourishes and balances the skin, while beeswax (Cera alba) seals in moisture and shields against the elements without clogging pores.

Why Peace and Plantain Stands Out from Other Salves

Unlike targeted salves meant for specific uses, Peace and Plantain is a well-rounded, all-purpose remedy. You can use it on bug bites, grass itch, cuts, bruises, spider bites, and even on your pets’ paws or ducks’ feet. Its versatility makes it ideal for outdoor months, camping trips, or year-round household use.

Always Keep It Close

I keep this salve in my medicine kit, camping supplies, and gardening bag. Whenever skin irritation strikes, I reach for Peace and Plantain first.

Pairs well with: First Aid Herbal Healing Oil, Natural Nettle, and Bug Bite Buster.
