Amish black salve – The recipe for the most powerful healing ointment!
Amish are known for their strict way of life without modern technology and medicine. They live in harmony with nature and are treated exclusively with natural remedies. One of their traditional preparations is a wonderful black salve (Black Drawing Salve) used for many inflammatory conditions, and it is known that it is very effective with infections, cysts and ulcers.
Many people outside the Amish circuits used for these problems, but also for ingrown nails and hair, and cystic acne.
It has a strong power to remove impurities, manure and unwanted objects such as thorns and splinters of glass.
Although the black balm is easy to rinse and it does not leave stains on the skin. It is also effective with spider bites because it brings out the toxins, and apparently removes blemishes and dark spots.
It is safe for use in children as it is completely natural.
