**Styptic powder is a harmonious combination of dried herbs and clay that causes bleeding to stop.

A styptic powder can be used to stop bleeding. I carry a small jar of styptic powder mix in my first aid kit in the car and one in a backpack when I go hiking.
It’s really a must have for everyone!,
A good example is when I used it on a blister that burst while I was kayaking recently. It did hurt for a small time but after a while, the pain stopped and I was able to resume my kayaking adventures.

Item will come in a 1oz tin

Ingredients
Yarrow: dried, Cayenne Pepper, Stinging Nettle, Comfrey, Cinnamon, Turmeric, Bentonite clay

Directions: To use, apply the styptic powder to a wound and press lightly. The bleeding should stop within a minute or so. If the wound is large or deep, it may take a few tries.


When using the powder on your wound a nice scab will start the form from the powder. It’s OK and perfectly normal. It will fall off just like any other scab when it’s healed enough just don’t pick it.

If the wound is very deep or large please consult a medical practitioner and don’t try to play doctor on your own. As with this and any other product this is not intended to diagnose treat or cure any disease.

**Black Drawing Salve

Black drawing salves were used since ancient times, especially by the Amish community to draw out splinters, boils, pieces of glass, etc.

They are salves containing which are both known to draw out toxins and other foreign material stuck in the skin.
The drawing salve works in a way that when you apply it on the affected area, it softens the skin and increases blood circulation to the area which causes pus to form around the splinter/boil, etc.
As you apply the drawing salve consistently, the foreign object and pus are naturally drawn out of the skin, hence the name drawing salve.


Activated Charcoal – This is the main ingredient in this black drawing salve. It not only gives the salve the black color but also helps pull out toxins and foreign objects such as splinters from the skin as well as reduces the sting of poison ivy and bug bites.

Infused Olive Oil – This is a healing oil infusion that helps reduce inflammation, moisturizes the skin, is antibacterial and helps the affected area heal faster.

Coconut Oil – Has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiseptic, moisturizing and skin healing properties.

Bentonite Clay – Just like activated charcoal, bentonite clay helps draw out toxins, chemicals and foreign bodies stuck in the skin. It also gives the salve a non-greasy consistency.

Beeswax – Helps thicken and harden the salve and also acts as a binding agent that sticks the healing ingredients to your skin.

Honey – Is antibacterial, moisturizing and has healing properties.

Lavender Essential Oil – Soothes the skin, calms inflammation and reduces redness. Is also a potent antibacterial and antiseptic ingredient.
