Why Black Drawing Salve Is Popular During Summer
Summer is the season of gardening, hiking, camping, outdoor projects, backyard adventures, and long days spent enjoying nature. It is also the time of year when many people begin restocking their herbal wellness cabinets with seasonal favorites designed to fit naturally into outdoor living and summer self-care routines.
One product that consistently becomes more popular during the warmer months is Black Drawing Salve. Inspired by traditional herbal salve recipes and herbal wellness traditions, Black Drawing Salve has remained a longtime favorite among people who enjoy simple living, herbal products, and nature-inspired self-care.
At Calhoun Farmstead, our handcrafted Black Drawing Salve is made in small batches using a rich blend of herbs, oils, butters, clays, and botanical ingredients including comfrey, calendula, plantain, raw honey, activated charcoal, and bentonite clay.
