Back Kitchen Heritage Salve

The kind of salve that lives on the counter and gets used by everyone in the house.

An all-purpose herbal balm inspired by traditional kitchen folklore — the kind of remedy that’s been passed down through generations for good reason. Comfrey, calendula, St. John’s wort, balm of Gilead, burdock root, and borage, wildcrafted in the Kootenays and infused with care. Rich, nourishing, and genuinely useful for dry hands, rough patches, outdoor-exposed skin, and everything in between.

Made by Kootenay Woman — a small BC-based maker we trust for ethically wildcrafted, traditionally formulated herbal products. Small batch means limited availability — when this one’s gone, it may not come back right away.
