Wild Apothecary

Lion Balm - wild harvested, hand-crafted heal-all salve, made with, but not only, fynbos wonders such as:
vygies, spekboom, wild rosemary, wild camphor bush, wilde dagga, imphepho, bulbinella, dandelions, wild mint, wild foraged wasp wax and bee wax blend, and more.

This salve helps a huge range of skin issues thanks to the combination of specific plants and their healing properties: eczema, psoriasis, wounds, burns, rashes, stings +++

Its base is a combination of organic Jojoba oil (which is almost identical to our human skin sebum therefore easily absorbed) infused with comfrey; and secondly, this yellow label special has the super addition of tallow!

The tallow I use comes from 100% organic grass-fed cows, which means it is nutrient dense and full of goodness (Vit’s A, D, E, and K, B12, omega 7 & 9 and and and) necessary for skin health.
Tallow is antimicrobial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory.
Lion Balm is the original ancestral skin care.

Additionally, you’ll know how to harvest plants to support vibrant health. You can unravel your dependence on shop bought medicines and pharmaceutical companies. Learning to forage for food and medicine will empower you to care for your own body, in deep connection with the natural world.
