Herbal salves vs. antibiotic ointments

So, what's wrong with using neosporin on a cut? Well, nothing, really. It will help inhibit bacterial and fungal growth which is it's purpose. But what if you could do that while also reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair and regeneration too? That's why herbal salves can be preferable/beneficial in your first-aid kit. Herbs such as calendula, comfrey, plantain, and St. John's wort have anti-inflammatory and wound-healing (vulnerary) effects, while herbs such as goldenseal and myrrh, and essential oils such as tea tree, lavender, and pine have antibacterial and antifungal effects. The oils in the salve soothe and moisturize. An all-purpose salve can be used on cuts, scrapes, bee stings, mosquito bites, rashes, and even dry elbows and knees!
