I have several types of healing soaps and salves at the market now. The basic Healing Herbal Salve is very popular and is healing rashes, eczema and other skin ailments! It contains a mix a 8 healing herbs that are either grown in my garden or harvested from the wild. They are hand dried and hand processed so you get only the best parts with no additives or preservatives. Natural oils, including coconut, are infused with the dried herbs and made into both salve and soap.
Usnea is a lichen that grows in the forest, usually near water. Though lichens appear to be single plants, they are really a combination of fungus and algae that grow together for their mutual benefit.
Usnea is high in usnic acid so go lightly on tea with usnea, if you are sensitive to acid in foods. It is anti-viral, anti-biotic, anti-fungal. Usnic acid, which is the main medicinal ingredient, is not water soluble so is best used in oils, vinegars, or alcohol to make salves, soaps and tinctures.
