What Is A Salve? 

An old fashioned word

According to wiktionary salve is: An ointment, cream or balm with soothing, healing or calming effects.

WordNet defines salve as a semisolid preparation (usually containing a medicine) applied externally as a remedy or for soothing an irritation [syn: ointment]

I think this is the best description! A soothing or healing medicinal or cosmetic ointment generally made with healing substances such as herbs infused in oil, strained, and the herbal oil then solidified with wax.

A drawing salve is a salve used to treat boils, ingrown toenails, splinters, etc.

So, now you know!

You'll love this all-natural salve if you are gardener or experience rough, dry hands. The purifying lavender and calming chamomile oils are blended with vitamin E and eucalyptus in a base of canola and sweet almond oils and premium beeswax to soothe and rejuvenate your hard-working hands.
