the salve you gotta have
The Senator is in.
But like many of them, is no longer to be trusted. Bribe-taker!
There’s so much happening here! By which I mean, well, plants.

And also, I just made an extra large batch of piñon salve, which I’d like to offer to you first.
Lately, I’ve been using the piñon salve primarily on my lips, which feel a little like I’ve been dragging them through salted glass since returning from the rainforest. In summer, I use it on my heels, which peel in horrific layers upon fissures upon layers, before getting infected. Sorry for that image. But seriously, the piñon works overnight. Overnight.
Piñon tree sap is the key ingredient (other ingredients: organic olive oil, beeswax), which is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, soothing, repairing and generally, healing. We use it on all sorts of cuts and scrapes, any infection (even open wound), and certainly dry skin.
When I used to work at the herb shop, a friend once commented that our labels looked a little amateurish, “like you just made them on your computer,” she said. Which was precisely true and is still my gold standard, which is why I want to say: look! I made these labels on my computer. I am totally a graphic designer now.
Piñon Salve Testimonials:
“Rachel’s piñon salve is the best! It took an infected scrape from really angry, red, and looking bad to calm and healing within a few hours! It is moisturizing and keeps infection at bay naturally. I HIGHLY recommend it.”
– Becca James, James Ranch Artisanal Cheesemaker
From my heels to yours,

Thank you for always so generously doing give aways! :)
Sorry for the misunderstanding, this one is not a giveaway, dear. I only have 10 jars and am selling them to the first 10 to e-mail me. :)
Oh. We so need this! Moving from Nova Scotia to New Mexico has not been kind to our skin!
Hi! It even looks yummy, almost!! ;-)
I need this, NOW!
I’m guessing you don’t ship to Australia but man, I’ve got that whole heel thing going on right now.
If you want to pay for shipping….
…and what’s a young idealistic senator to do once he gets to the house? You wanna hang with the big boys you gotta play like the big boys.
Your Uncle Dave needs this, badly! So badly I’d buy one……
First time commenter, but long time reader, – I love you and your family!!!!
I would love love love to have some salve for my feet, lips and elbows – You my dear 10 yr old son who doesn’t know life with scraped knees and forearms!
Thank you!
With two active young boys, someone’s skin is always scraped and/or bloody around here. And the heels – I’m with you.
My heels are horrible…I need some salve, please!
Way late to this party but our farmer heels know the feeling!
Great web site you have here.. It’s difficult to find high quality writing like yours nowadays.
I honestly appreciate people like you! Take care!!
