Nerve Pain Support salve

To use: Get some salve on your fingers and warm it up a bit by rubbing it around between the tips of your fingers and your thumb. Then, gently rub the salve into the area where you are feeling temporary sharp, shooting nerve pain. Repeat 1-3 times a day as needed. Important! Check with your doctor or other health care professional to make sure that what you have is temporary nerve pain and that this salve is right for you. When taken orally for prolonged periods of time, powerful St. John's Wort can interfere with certain medications, such as depression, anxiety, and birth control medications. Used topically and for short periods of time, it’s less likely to interfere with medication but you should talk with your doctor about risks and benefits. Also, while rare, some people are allergic to cottonwood bud resin, so stop using the salve if your body doesn't like the ingredients. This salve is intended to be used for short periods of time to support nerve pain relief from nerve damage caused by accident, injury, or overuse.   

Ingredients: Fresh locally grown St. John's Wort, windfall cottonwood buds, stinging nettles, and infused in organic olive oil, plus local beeswax from either HiveHarvest on the peninsula and local rosemary essential oil from Whidbey Herbal.
