I offer a few different beeswax salves and a propolis tincture when available. Please note beeswax salves are heat sensitive and should be stored in a cool dry place. All dried herbs are infused in coconut oil using a warming method to extract the beneficial plant oils. Always do a test patch on skin before applying as some can have adverse reactions to beehive products.:)

Coming SoonPropolis Healing Salve Reg. $5 1 oz. tin
Let me start by saying this is my favorite salve. I have made this salve almost as long as I've been a beekeeper. This multi purpose salve is soother. Great for mosquito, flea or tick bites. Bee or wasp stings. Poison oak. Chapped, scraped, scratched, dry skin or eczema. Once applied and absorbed it relieves the itch for hours, reduces sting and bite swelling and shortens the duration of bee sting discomfort. I never attend to my bees without this in my beekeeping arsenal. My kids use it every time they get mosquito bites. Now that I've added Propolis to this salve it is also great for bruises, scrapes, skinned knees, minor cuts and skin abrasions. I often catch myself rubbing this on the top of my hands, heels & elbows as a skin softener. It is my goto salve for my kiddos skinned knees and scrapes. Grab yourself a tin before I use it all up. I truly love this salve.

Contains:
Organic Calendula Flower is an anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, skin repairing, calming, good for eczema, rashes, acne and overall great for all skin types.

Organic Plantain Leaf is an herb used by beekeepers for decades now. Why? It is the best herb for bee stings! This powerful plant is often mistaken as an obnoxious weed found in park grass, but there is no denying it's dramatic calming effect on bee stings, and bug bites - especially itchy mosquito bites. You can search up Broad Leaf Plantain or Plantago Major then next time you are in a grassy park, look for and identify Plantain.

Propolis Tincture Propolis comes from beehives. It is a sticky substance made by the bees using various tree resins they forage mixed with enzymes and wax. Propolis is a major source of bioflavonoid, and antioxidants. Ancient Egyptians and Greeks used propolis and beekeepers use it to this day. Propolis is claimed to kill harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites when used either orally or on the skin. Bees use it to seal, protect and sterilize their hive from bacteria, this is called, a "Propolis Envelope". Propolis Tincture is made by soaking the propolis in Everclear Alcohol for several months.

Organic Coconut oil infused with the Calendula Flowers & Plantain Leaf plus Propolis Tincture, Chemical-free Beeswax, plus Shea Butter.

Coming SoonBee Well Arnica Balm - Reg. $5 1 oz. tin.

I often get aches and pains in my legs and shoulders due to my hiking with an overloaded backpack addiction, tendency to lift of heavy things (beekeeping) and pushing my body beyond my comfort zone in my workouts so I created this body balm exclusively for overexerted, strained, muscle and deep tissue aches. I rub this balm onto my body where ever I feel an ache or inflammation. I've used it on my shoulders, hips, neck, arm and back pain. My husband has periodic lower back inflammation from a disk disorder and with this balm paired with ice we've been able to reduce his inflammation and get him pain free fairly quickly. Give it a try and reap some herbal benefits from this lovely smelling body ache healing balm and bee well.

Arnica is a medicinal plant know for reducing muscle and deep tissue pain. Arnica is a member of the sunflower family. It has been used for ages to reduce muscle and tendon inflammation, aches, pain and bruising. Arnica contains Helenalin, this component gives Arnica its anti-inflammatory benefits. Arnica balm is a topical only herb and not ment to be applied to open wounds.

St.Johns Wort is a medicinal plant well known for its ability to alleviate anxiety, mild depression, and moodiness, but did you know it is also an age old remedy for pain relief? Claimed to ease neuropathic pain. Some say the herb was used to treat the wounded in the crusades by the Knights of St. John hence the name.

Camphor Oil is known for its relief of pain and inflammation in the body. Also known for treating burns, Arthritis, cramps, coughs, chest congestion, spasms and stiffness in the body. It produces a cool tingly feeling when applied topically which I find it truly magical on all my aches and pains plus it smells amazing.

Dried herbs are carefully infused in Organic Coconut Oil by gently warming it over a period time. Also contains: chemical-free solar filtered Beeswax and Shea Butter.

Propolis Tincture SOLD OUT Reg. $15 1oz bottle with dropper. Free local delivery or pick up only. A blend of 100% beemade & locally harvested Propolis from chemical-free hives dissolved in 60% ABV Everclear Alcohol (warning: contains alcohol) at least a three week period. Propolis is specially harvested and extracted to capture the full spectrum of essential tree resins - all the possible varieties of Los Angeles. Propolis is a major source of bioflavonoids, and antioxidants. Ancient Egyptians and Greeks used propolis and beekeepers use it to this day. Propolis is claimed to kill harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites when used either orally or on the skin. Bees use it to seal, protect and sterilize their hive from bacteria, this is called, a "Propolis Envelope". The bees collect only the most beneficial tree sap, essential oils and resin, mix it with saliva, and wax. I take it daily to stay well and free from the icky cold bugs my kiddos bring home from school. I've even read an article about Propolis being applied to cancer cells and stopping their growth. Do the research, it is endless and centuries old.
I recommend 10-20 drops daily at onset & during duration of a cold.
