Charcoal Drawing Salve

1.5 oz tin
 
A charcoal drawing salve is named for its ability to draw things out of the skin. The active ingredients combine to have a drawing effect when applied topically. So, when foreign substances, toxins, and unwanted particles make their way deep into the skin, drawing salve will help bring them back to the skin’s surface. Common uses for drawing salve include applying to bee stings, bites—including insect bites, spider bites or mosquito bites—deep splinters, or metal splinters. Other active ingredients work to reduce irritation and inflammation, reduce risk of infection and promote healing.
