Wormwood Salve
Our Wormwood Salve is handcrafted with fresh Artemisia absinthium grown in our medicine garden here on Farm, and gathered when the plant’s volatile oils are strongest. The fresh Wormwood is then immediately infused slowly into organic olive oil using warmth—and great care—to extract all of it’s therapeutic and medicinal compounds.
Nothing is dried.
Nothing is rushed.
The result is a clean, concentrated topical remedy that works with your body—not against it. Clearing what doesn’t belong. Strengthening what does.
This salve captures the raw power of one of nature’s most bitter and bold herbs. Indeed, a well-made Wormwood Salve such as this, has long been called upon for its willingness to draw out what is stagnant, inflamed, or foreign; to soothe pains/discomfort, inflammation; and to ward off unwanted skin invaders.
