How to Make a Skin-Soothing Herbal Poultice 💚

I've got a recipe on the blog for a soothing, inflammation-taming poultice featuring some of our best skin-healing herbs: calendula, violet, and plantain.

This poultice is so versatile! Use it for any of the following: poison ivy rashes, weepy eczema, hives, insect bites, psoriasis, pimples, boils, fresh sunburns, and fungal and bacterial skin infections.
