Black Drawing Salve

Not to be confused with the old-school, stinky drawing salve our grandparents probably used (containing zinc chloride, which can burn the skin), this version is only using natural ingredients including olive oil infused with calendula, castor oil, local beeswax, vitamin e, activated charcoal, bentonite clay, lavender and tea tree essential oil.

What do you use black drawing salve for? Any time you want to "draw" things out of the skin - I use it for splinters, bee stings, ticks, and are also reported to work well for boils, wounds, and cystic acne.

Warning - this contains activated charcoal so it WILL stain clothes! After applying, either cover it with a band aid, gauze, or wear old clothing that you don't mind getting stained.
