Rose Petals Salve

"When you looked at my poor son's hands last week, I am sure you wondered what he had been up to. Me too! We think that the bad rash/spots and cracks on the backs of his hands is a mixture of the harsh dry weather we have had, leaving strong soap on his hands after washing, and probably some boy-type play in the woods... play that involved fallen branches, leaves, etc.

Whatever was going on, his poor hands were a wreck. He was holding them out all the time with a pained expression on his face, and wouldn't let me near him with anything that might have soothed them.

You suggested the Rose Petal Salve, and he was willing to try it (Beth, after all, was the one offering - not Mom).

What I wanted to share with you was our amazement with how quickly he has healed. You gave me the salve on Friday evening. He got one 'spreading' that night, two the next day, and on on Sunday morning. As you saw when we came by on Sunday - about 36 hours after we got the salve — he had hands that no longer made us wince. The cracks were healing, the rash was almost gone, the tiny dots of owie were no longer visible...

And to see Nicholas' face when we put on the salve — what a joy. He had no fear that it would hurt. He LOVED the smell, and he relaxed as I gently applied it

THANK YOU. We still need the salve as we still have dry weather and questionable soap-removal techniques from our young man — and we can apply without complaint with the knowledge that come morning all will be improved. I really am astonished that in under 36 hours we went from bleeding cracks to healed and healthy hands."

"Dear Dragonfly Dreaming,

I am compelled to email you about your ROSE PETALS HEALING SALVE.

Since last winter I have been troubled by side effects of medication evidenced in itchy, bumpy, raw skin = ugly , uncomfortable, and worrisome because of the length of time spent suffering with raw bumps on the thin skin of my upper chest... tried all kinds of over the counter ointments to no avail, my doctor wanted me to go to a dermatologist to buy an expensive, probably chemical laden, drying ointment which I chose not to do.

Then I met you at the recent Organics Festival at the Pacific Horticultural Centre and really liked all your products; the fact that not only were they locally made but that you also grew and distilled some of the ingredients yourself which is all too rare and I believe ensures potency.

I decided that I had nothing to lose, and possibly much to gain by giving your ROSE PETAL HEALING SALVE a try — and I am just thrilled that I did because in 48 hours, what I had suffered for months with — cleared up! It is not drying, it smells wonderful and it is enjoyable to use.

I continue to use it on my sunburn, on any dry skin, as a facial skin replenisher etc. etc. I have sent it to a friend in Alberta for scars resulting from a recent hip replacement. I've also sent it to an extremely fair skinned, psoriasis sufferer in small town Ontario and recommend it highly."

"The rosepetal salve has saved my face.

Just over a horrendous cold — K is at the walk in clinic as I type as I passed it on to him in the 'carnation of a sinus infection. I blew my nose raw despite the triple ply softer than soft tissues which I pampered myself with.

The only thing which helped was the Rose Petals"
