Herbal infused oils are made with our Haas Homestead homegrown herbs!
 
I’ve been trying for a few years now to replace all of our personal store-bought, chemical-filled medicinal products with my own, clean, effective versions.  As I go along this journey, I figured I’d take you all along, too!  Everything we offer has been tested by us and others to be sure it works before we get it out there.  But this antibiotic salve that we have been using for a few years now has worked perfectly to replace the antibiotic creams and ointments we used to buy.  It’s as easy as smearing some on the wound and covering with a bandage, just as you would do with the cream.  Give it a little time to heal and you’re good to go!

Store-bought antibiotic ointments have been shown to contribute to the rising occurrence of antibiotic resistance. Not only that, but many people suffer from allergic reactions to the ingredient neomycin. It can cause the skin to become red and scaly and the more you use, the worse the skin reaction gets. But God gave us what we needed long before chemical creams. We have other very safe options for minor cuts and scrapes… and that is a homemade antibiotic salve!  These jars will last a long time since only a pea sized amount is needed for most scrapes and scratches.

All of the ingredients were selected with antibiotic and antibacterial properties in mind:
 
Calendula oil is skin healing! Calendula’s natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties make it an excellent choice for soothing skin irritations, such as rashes, cuts, burns, and insect bites. The plant’s antimicrobial properties promote wound healing by preventing infections and reducing inflammation. (Since calendula promotes speedy wound healing, it is important not to use it on deep wounds, puncture wounds or wounds that are not clean.)
Yarrow oil is incredible for wound care, and we use it often for first-aid in our house. It stops bleeding incredibly fast, heals wounds quickly, and reduces inflammation.  It also includes some antibiotic properties.
Menarda oil (Bergamot) is an antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. This makes monarda a great herb to use on any wounds that are inflamed or angry. It also supports the immune system, and many people use it to treat colds and the flu.
Vitamin E oil aids in healing the skin and might reduce any scarring from a minor injury.
Lavender not only soothes but also works as a pain reliever and is antibiotic, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and antibacterial.
Tea Tree Oil is known for its anti-fungal, anti-viral, antibiotic and antibacterial properties.
Oregano Oil is antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory. It helps fight infections, reduce inflammation, and provide antioxidant benefits.
 
Homemade, natural, and full of good things that nourish your skin, this salve is a great alternative to chemicals and harmful substances that leech into the skin.
