A botanical rub of St. John’s wort and arnica
For Nerves, Muscles, Joints
※
For bodies that have been well lived in.
THE STORY.
During summer, I gather and dry the small golden flowers of St. John’s Wort by hand and infuse them in oil using the traditional solar infusion method. Over many weeks, the sun coaxes the flowers’ vibrant character into the oil. That solar oil is the heart of Formula № 1, joined by an arnica flower infusion, to create an herbal salve inspired by generations of herbal craftsmanship.
HOW TO USE.
Massage into muscles, around joints, and along areas where nerves travel close to the surface after activity or whenever you feel the call.
WHAT’S INSIDE.
St. John’s Wort: One of the old herbs of European folk medicine, St. John’s wort has been gathered by herbalists for more than two thousand years. It became a plant associated not only with healing but with protection, sunlight, and midsummer. More recently, herbalists have developed a particular affinity for it as a topical herb for nerve-related discomfort.
Arnica: A golden flower of Europe’s mountain meadows, arnica has long been a beloved topical herb for tired muscles, bumps, strains, and the everyday consequences of using your body.
OTHER INGREDIENTS: jojoba oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, tocopherol (vitamin E), organic beeswax.
Mindful Use.
For external use only. Avoid eyes and apply only to intact skin. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Avoid intense or prolonged sun exposure on treated areas until you know how your skin responds as St. John’s wort may increase sensitivity to sunlight in some individuals.
