Why You’ll Love It

Drawing Salve is formulated to work by softening the skin surrounding the infection or foreign body. This allows the foreign body or substance to be “drawn” to the surface of the skin. Hills Remedy’s Drawing Salve also contains many healing herbs which may aid in quick healing.

This formula:

• Helps soften the appearance of rough skin
• Creates a protective moisture barrier
• Provides rich, concentrated hydration
• Contains no bloodroot, zinc chloride, or escharotic ingredients

Unlike some traditional “black salve” formulas that contain bloodroot or zinc chloride strong escharotic ingredients known to damage skin tissue this formula is free from those harsh and controversial components. We believe skin support should never come at the cost of skin integrity.

Crafted with thoughtfully selected botanicals, Deep Root Salve has earned a place in many natural first-aid kits for everyday skin concerns especially when skin needs a little extra attention.
