Spectacular Salves

I first learned about Salves over 15 years ago and immediately fell in love.
They are portable, easy to use, heal skin conditions, you can use them on yourself, children, animals and to top it all off they are easy to make!

Salves are preparations of natural oils, beeswax and plant material.  They can be used for a variety of skin conditions including, bruises, cuts and scrapes (except puncture wounds), rashes, sunburns, radiation burns, chapped skin. Also depending on the herbs used they can make amazing diaper creams. I have friends who swear by them and tell me that they beat the pants off (no pun intended) over the counter products.

If you are a horse person having a basic healing Salve in your tack trunk is a life saver. Horses are experts in hurting themselves and having something that promotes healing and fights infection is a must have. Many of the ingredients in Salves promote hair re-growth in horses and are non-toxic which is great because if you are putting it on your horse you will inevitably get some on yourself.

This winter Silver Rabbit Essentials is running a Salve special and has several new organic and handcrafted Salve formulas available for people and animals. Winter is a great time to restock your herbal pantry, first aid kit or tack trunk.

If you order any two Salves before the end of the month we will throw in a free Cinnamon Rose Lip Balm.

 Product details are below and we ship anywhere in the U.S.

Simple Healing Salve: A wonderful basic salve that makes a lovely addition to any first aid kit. Great for healing cuts, scrapes, minor burns and chapped lips. Is created with sensitive skin in mind.

Healing Garden Salve: A dynamic formula which contains my favorite healing and infection fighting herbs. It is as if we put the garden in a jar. Great for stubborn skin conditions, cuts and scrapes and can be used to heal dry and cracked winter skin.

Baby Ava's Herbal Butt Balm: A simple and powerful Calendula based diaper balm. This product not only protects a baby's sensitive skin but also prevents and heals diaper rash. A must have for any diaper bag.

Horsey Healing Salve: A favorite at many barns. This product heals cuts and scapes while promoting healing, re-growing hair and preventing infection. This product is safe to use on horses with sensitive skin.

Cost: $10 plus S & H

Stay tuned for more herbal wisdom, some winter time horse stories and handcrafted herbal products!

Many blessings,

New Beginnings....


Welcome to Silver Rabbit Essentials, it's the love child of several of my passions and weaves together my gifts as an herbalist, educator and horsewoman.

I have been practicing herbalism for over 15 years and have been an educator for just about as long. I have worked in a variety of settings including apprenticing with several master herbalists in my younger years as well as providing women from all walks of life with holistic health care education through classes, workshops and individuals sessions. It is something I believe whole heartedly in and for good reason. I have witnessed over and over again the beauty and transformation that occurs when women reclaim the wisdom of their bodies.

I am a certified herbalist, aromatherapist, energy medicine practitioner and master teacher.

I have also spent much of my life around horses. Riding, working with them on the ground and educating myself about natural principles and means for creating and maintaining their health and well-being.

Through Silver Rabbit Essentials I offer herbal health care consultations for women, wellness sessions for horses and riders and a line of hand crafted organic herbal products.
 

My approach is heart centered, somatically based and connects individuals with the magic of plants and the natural world.

I will be using this blog to share health tips, herbal wisdom and other musings.

I hope that you will join me on this journey.

Love,

Jordan
