Topical Herb Applications
Throughout the centuries, people have experimented with a variety of remedies to soothe all kinds of minor irritations such as athlete's foot and bruises. As it turns out, numerous plants contain healing compounds that provide exactly the relief needed. In fact, a significant number of over-the-counter topical drugs rely on medicinal herbs for their pain-relieving, healing and soothing effects.
Oregon's Wild Harvest manufactures herb oils and salves to buy using certified organic olive oil without the use of artificial additives and preservatives. We begin with freshly gathered certified organic herbs or wildcrafted herbs, and carefully infuse them with olive oil using a special heat extraction to gently encourage infusion. The resulting product is an infused oil with a deep color and intense aroma that cannot be rivaled.
These herb oils are not essential oils but have a multitude of therapeutic uses; the active constituents of the topical herbs are absorbed through the skin for a more immediate and targeted effect. Here are a few ideas:
- They may be added directly to the skin (topically) or to the bath.
- They can even be diluted in carrier oils to make massage oils.
- Many people who wish to avoid many of the chemicals that are added to commercial topical products make or buy their own cream bases and add these herb oils to these carriers to create a cream that is not only pure and aromatic, but is also functional.
