Because our skin is so absorbent, many lotions and other forms of moisture tend to be absorbed quickly and don't last long on the skin. When tallow salves are applied, the ingredients are as quickly absorbed providing long lasting moisture and healing power.
Oil-rich salves are used to nourish and protect skin. They lock moisture in, keeping skin soft and smooth throughout the seasons. Tallow salves are easily absorbed to infuse the medicine into the body. I use a mixture of both to ensure the best of both.
Balms can be used to soothe chapped skin, treat insect bites, bumps and bruises; salves are useful for massaging sore muscles and moisturising skin.
Some salves are made to draw out toxins. Some are made to promote healing. Some are made to prevent infection. All of these salve recipes are time tested and approved.
