Newly available from Timeless & Daughters, our family traditional healing herbals

Like the Burden Cloth, these herbal remedies have been used by family and friends for many years. They are all made from western traditional herbs, prepared from organic & permacultured whole dried herbs and natural vegetable carriers, and created with care for external healing needs.

Green Comfort -- 1 oz. jar $7

This ancient salve is a rediscovered treasure of traditional medieval herbalists, the everyday healers of village & town, cloister & castle. In use for thirty years by a growing number of folk dancers, historical re-creationists, martial artists, and equestrians, its uses range from clearing simple bruises to speed-healing sprains and strains. Repetitive stress injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, chronic joint pain, overstressed ligaments, shingles outbreaks, age spots, and ordinary abrasions, all benefit from prompt and repeated use of Green Comfort.

Serendipitous effects
Green Comfort ointment has been found to relieve the excruciating symptoms of shingles outbreaks. Users discovered this application by accident, but research has now identified that several ingredient herbs are effective against herpes viruses, and one, thyme, is specifically effective against the herpes zoster virus.

MindSoothe -- dram vial, $4 or three for $10

This herbal headache balm came to be because a migraine sufferer asked me about herbal headache relief, wondering whether Green Comfort would help her. She was the first of our volunteer testers with chronic migraine, and found that she was keeping hers in her purse to use at the first waning sign of an imminent migraine. Ideal when you cannot or prefer not to take aspirin or other allopathic medication, a mere drop rubbed into hairline pulse points brings prompt relief for most headache sufferers.

UnBurn Gold -- 4 oz. spray bottle, $10

Our family has used a simpler version of this remedy since 1966 to reduce the pain and peel of sunburn and windburn. More than a decade ago, it was reformulated for greater effect and to remove the brief discomfort when users first applied it. A customer who works in commercial kitchens reported back to us that she kept some in her work locker to use on the inevitable steam burns associated with the use of steam tables.

HerbaLiniment -- 2.8 oz spray bottle $12

For relief of the chronic pain associated with joint replacement; ideal for deep-tissue therapeutic and sports massage. Every herb used in this remedy is traditionally specific to the pains of rheumatica, arthritis, and neuralgia. Does not cause the painful heat or sharp odor of so many commercial preparations.
