Introducing Herbal Healing Salves featuring botanicals + CBD

Herbal Healing Salves with CBD isolate pack a major punch against inflammation.

By Hillary Arrieta

Dreaming up a superior herbal product that could help my clients with some of their most common complaints, and also delighted their senses was my goal!

As a massage therapist, aromatherapist, and herbalist, I've been dreaming about creating a product for many years that could help my clients with their muscle, joint, and nerve pain. During my herbal training, I discovered fantastic infused oils and botanicals that inspired me to create these three formulas, which help address many of the common issues for which my clients are seeking help. ​While Hemp CBD is an exciting ingredient to share, I'm most excited about the way these ingredients work together in harmony from the botanical infusions, to the pure essential oils, to the healing carrier oils and the CBD isolate. These one ounce salves are small but mighty! Herbal Healing Salves with Hemp CBD isolate pack a major punch against inflammation. Each formula is handcrafted in small batches.

Cooling + Circulating
I love this combination of herbal botanicals. Arnica Montana, St. John's Wort, and Calendula flowers have been used traditionally for helping with both acute and chronic pain. The essential oils work in synergy to help cool and soothe.

Warming + Circulating
This balm acts similarly but opposite to the cooling salve.  Arnica Montana, St. John's wort, and Calendula flowers are praised in the herbal world for helping with both acute and chronic pain. The essential oils work in synergy to help warm and move circulation and stagnation.

Arnica Healing Salve { Lavender + Peppermint}
Arnica Montana is a great anti-inflammatory flowering herb, and works well combined with Hemp CBD isolate and pure essential oils of Lavender and Peppermint. I see this as a great overall wellness balm.

What is CBD? 
CBD stands for cannabidiol, a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant. 
CBD has been valued for being non-psychoactive with promising medicinal effects. From a 2013 review in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, CBD has a wide range of medical benefits. The ones that inspired me to create herbal balms containing this compound are:

• Anti-inflammatory – Eliminates pain and reduces swelling
• Analgesic – Combats pain.
• Antioxidant- Improving skin health and rejuvenating its appearance.

What is the difference between marijuana and hemp products?
There are many difference between hemp and marijuana products, but the greatest difference is their breeding, based upon how the cultivators plan to use it. My healing salves contain an isolated CBD compound derived from Hemp, which contain zero percent of THC (the psychoactive compound in marijuana that causes the “high” feeling.) Hemp and marijuana are closely related, but, marijuana is for medicinal and recreational use, while hemp is grown and farmed for a much broader use. In fact, hemp has many practical uses, such as cooking oils, nutritional supplements, paper, concrete (called hempcrete), and several variations of fiber materials.

Can I use your healing salve without a prescription?
Yes, my salves are not considered a medical product so there’s no need for a prescription. They are handmade with botanicals, Hemp CBD isolate, pure essential oils, and carrier oils to support your health and well-being.
​Hemp is very different from marijuana.
