I'm all about holistic healing, not that I can afford anything right now, but what does this salve help with specifically?
Based on the ingredients, it seems to be skin related.

Its very rich in vitamin C if you eat the spruce tips or put them in a tea. But the salve is good for chest congestion. I have asthma and i use oils and herbal treatments because well, i cant afford inhalers and the appointments to get a prescription. However the spruce tip infusion is supposed to be very good in a chest rub to help open up the air way. Congestion and swelling. I havent added this one to my chest rub before, im really excited to try it out. It takes 7 days minimum for a sun infusion to cure. Like sun tea, it sits in the window and slow infuses the oils from the plant matter and the oil together. I used sunflower seed oil and almond oil to make the infusion and they are in the window with my others.
