Our family has been farmers for generations. Some travelers enjoy collecting Swiss family crest designs when they visit here. Unfortunately, our family isn't large enough to have a family crest. We produce Organic Chickweed Salve as a nod to our ancestors' heritage. We make them annually, just in case. Who would have thought someone would actually promote our salve? We hesitated for a long time but finally decided to launch our website anyway.

 
 

A few years ago, several elderly travelers visited us, and one of them suffered a leg injury while climbing a mountain. With no local orthopedic surgeon available, we set his bones the traditional way and applied our homemade organic herbal ointment. He faced a precarious situation at 57 years old, an age when bone regeneration is challenging. We relied on our ancestral salve, passed down through generations, praying it would help. While our village primarily uses the salve for joint pain and sprains, we couldn't guarantee its efficacy for the elderly man.

Fortunately, he trusted our ointment and stayed with us to recover. His wife massaged his feet daily to improve blood circulation, aiding his recovery. By the sixth week, he could walk with family assistance, and within two more weeks, he managed with crutches. After a month, they left, taking some of our ointment with them. They later shared their positive experience online, causing our product to gain viral attention. Some businesses began replicating it, though we cannot vouch for their effectiveness as we have not collaborated with them.

Most of the raw materials we use are home-grown, while the rest are sourced. We do not add any chemicals; all ingredients are organic and natural. Due to limited resources and involvement of only a few family members in production, our stock is small each year. Our goal is simply to help as many people as possible with our Organic Chickweed Salve. That's why we're here.

  • Horsetail grass

    Horsetail grass is often considered a weed in many places, but we recognize its value. It is rich in minerals beneficial for bone health, particularly magnesium, essential for proper bone metabolism. Additionally, it contains silicic acid, which enhances calcium absorption in the body.

  • St. John's Wort

    St. John's Wort has been used for thousands of years to treat a wide range of diseases and viruses. It is highly effective in treating skin injuries, muscle pain, arthritis, and gout. Simply grind it, apply it to the affected areas of the body, and massage it for some time to see results.

  • Olive oil

    Olive oil is one of the most commonly used oils here. Its greatest benefit for bone health is enhancing calcium absorption. Its nutrient profile closely resembles that of breast milk, making it easily absorbed. The olive oil we produce is light and fruity, and many locals enjoy consuming it directly.

  • Lavender

    Lavender has a calming effect on the nerves. Patients with damaged bones or joints often experience spasms in their skeletal muscles, which can worsen their condition. Lavender effectively alleviates this issue and also provides pain relief. In our area, pregnant women seeking postpartum pain relief often add lavender essential oil to their bath water.

    FAQ

    We weren't initially keen on providing these Q&A responses, but lately, we've been inundated with questions as orders have surged. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the capacity to answer each one individually, and we hope you understand.

    Collapsible content

    What sets your organic herbal ointment apart from others?

    We prefer not to compare ourselves with other families. Our formula has been passed down through generations for hundreds of years, continually refined by our descendants based on their experience. This has resulted in the highly effective Organic Herbal Salve we have today, renowned for pain relief and tissue repair. Locally, it's commonly used to aid in bone recovery.

    Are all Organic Chickweed Salve handmade?

    Yes, all our Organic Chickweed Salve are handmade. Initially, we made them for personal use and for our neighbors, never imagining they'd gain global recognition. It was spontaneous support from travelers that helped spread the word. We source ingredients from local farmers in limited quantities, and with a few extra hands at home, we manage production. Industrialization isn't our intention.

    Do you have your own brand?

    We operate as a small family workshop without any branding efforts. Our primary occupation remains farming, and we stay true to our roots.

    Are there any allergies after use?

    Allergic reactions vary among individuals. Users of our ointment rarely report allergies, possibly because our raw, organic materials are healthier and better absorbed. Many foreign travelers who experience allergies in urban areas find no issues after using our products and consuming local fare.
