White Willow Bark Rub

I worked with a holistic doctor to create a rub that can help with pain - it contains herbs and oils that are purported to help with bone and tendon pain. It has white willow bark (natural source of aspirin), arnica, feverfew, comfrey, plantain, nettle, meadowsweet, emu oil, St. John's Wort, and essential oils, including helichrysum, plai, turmeric, ginger, and clove. It is really an awesome recipe and I'm excited to share it here on Etsy.

This Pickle's Potions salve is specifically formulated with ingredients that may help with pain - not only arthritis pain but also joint, nerve, and muscular issues. I've had wonderful feedback from people online and in person.

Please be aware that this product contains a natural source of aspirin (salicin): do not use if you are allergic or sensitive to aspirin products. If you are under the care of a physician, please consult with your doctor prior to using this potion.
