Topical salves are a great way to harness the healing power of herbs. They can be made with limited equipment, using just a few ingredients, and can easily be tossed into a purse or backpack and taken on the road for whenever they are needed. This particular salve is perfect to ease tired and sore muscles and to relieve the pain caused by inflammation, stiff joints and arthritis.
In our recipe, we'll be using lavender flowers, white willow bark and cayenne peppers. It's recommended to use dried herbs when creating a salve, because the moisture in fresh plant material will encourage mold growth and spoilage of the final product. We'll be infusing our herbs in oil, and we all know that oil and water don't mix!
