St John’s wort helps relieve pain caused by arthritis and rheumatism whilst also helps to heal muscle injuries.
It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties that help treat bruises, muscle aches, sprains, joint pains, and nervous system related pain. It is especially helpful for back pain.
Yarrow salve is typically used to treat minor topical injuries, including cuts, scrapes, burns, and rashes.
Specifically, yarrow leaves have powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-itching, anti-bacterial, wound healing, and blood coagulating properties when applied to the skin.
Yarrow tends to close wounds quickly, so don’t use it on puncture wounds, and obviously severe wounds should be treated by a doctor or emergency room. This salve is more for minor cuts and scrapes, like skinned knees.
Yarrow should be avoided if you have an allergy to plants in the Asteraceae family (like daisies, ragweed, marigolds, or sunflowers).
