Drawing Salve

Drawing salves are a wonderful traditional remedy and have been used for many years to draw toxins, infections, and foreign substances up and out of a wound.

Deeper wounds that involve dirt, splinters, infections, or even stings, respond really well to a drawing salve. The powerful drawing action pulls the dirt and infection up to the surface. That way, the wound can be clean and healed properly.

BENEFITS AND USES:

- bringing splinters to the surface that tweezers can't reach
- draws the venom out from bee and wasp stings
- treats boils and other skin infections

Directions for use:

Clean the wound the best you can with soap and warm water. Gently dry the wound, and apply a generous, thick layer of drawing salve. After that, cover the wound with a bandage and let the salve do its work. Right before bed is a great time to put the black salve on a wound. Make sure that the wound is bandaged well because the salve can definitely stain clothing.

After the salve has been on the wound for several hours or more (overnight is great!), remove the bandage and carefully clean away the salve. Examine the wound to see how it’s doing.

Clean away anything that the salve has drawn out. If it looks like another application would be good to complete healing, put more salve and a clean bandage on, and let it sit some more. Once the wound looks nice and clean, and there isn’t any sign of remaining infection, expose it to the air and let it finish healing.
