Angela's Salve is Back

Angela’s Salve is back!
If you remember from many years ago, we brought a bunch of Angela's Salves in from Ecuador and offered them to you in our store. This time around, we had the Matico, which is the main medicinal plant ingredient, brought here to the USA so we could make them here. Angela’s friend personally harvested the Matico for us in Ecuador.
When Angela first started creating these salves, I thought it was just a new hobby making the typical skin cream salves.
At first I thought it was a "coincidence" when a person told me that they used this salve to help heal a rash right on the inside of their leg. They stated that whenever they get a rash like this, it would usually take weeks to heal, yet the salve started the healing process immediately.
She sold them in the Vilcabamba town, and whenever I went there people were always randomly coming up to me on the street raving about how Angela's salve has helped them heal in some way. Some people would even buy 12 at a time to stock up as they said they couldn't live without them.
So finally I realized that these salves were the real deal, and there is truly nothing out there that heals the skin like this. There have been multiple times, where I got a sunburn on my face and it was so red that I was scared. I would apply the skin salve, and the next day the redness was practically gone and it looked super healthy. In fact, one woman sent me before and after pictures of her sunburn and how the salve helped her in the same way too. I could actually feel the medicinal plants going to work on my sunburnt face. It kind of burned like a menthol cooling feel. It was so soothing.
Since then, whenever I have a skin issue, I just put her salve on, and it goes away. I once used it for chapped lips and it worked.
Angela has lots of testimonials from Vilcabamba, but when we sold it many years ago in our store, testimonials also started pouring in.
One woman wrote:
P.S. I Love Love Love Angela's Healing Salve, Omg! It is The perfect, skin soothing butter I've ever used. I have horribly dry face skin that gets "rashy" from the dryness, and This cream/butter is a miracle in a jar, it has helped immensely, and reduced the redness by 90%. Thank you so much for offering this wonderful, healthy balm.

I busted my leg in Ecuador! The stitches from the hospital were not tight at all and even after a few weeks the incision had not sealed up. Angela suggested I try some of her healing salve on it and I woke up the next morning and it was as if the salve had turned into a layer of skin and sealed up my incision! It was wild!
I'll put many more testimonials in the description of the product on our website, and in them you will see that one woman said that nothing else works for her Rheumatoid Arthritis, another person said their eczema has been healed, one woman said her baby got diaper rash and it was gone the next morning, others had the same sunburn healing success that I had, one woman's feet were really dry and peeling and she had a big improvement, and so much more.
People use this Salve to help with all kinds of skin issues, from stings to bruises to bites to cuts, scratches, knocks, sunburn, rashes (including diaper rash) and even just to moisturize! If it heals sunburns the way it does, I can confidently say that it would be the best beauty product out there for the face due to how it heals the skin the way it does.
So what's the magical salve mixture? The number one key ingredient is the matico. Matico might not be familiar to most people, so let me share a little about this amazing plant. Matico (Aristeguietia glutinosa) is found only in Ecuador and is regarded there as a wonderful aide for healing all kinds of conditions from ulcers and inflammation to cuts, bruises, insect bites and even shock.
Angela’s friend personally hand-harvested the Matico Leaf in a sustainable way to use in these salves. She dried the Matico in Ecuador in our Excalibur dehydrator. Someone was coming to the states from Ecuador so we had them bring the plants down. It was enough to make 800 jars. Keep in mind that this medicinal Matico herb comes from the pristine mineral-rich lands in Vilcabamba, Ecuador that we are making the salves with.
The other two plants she uses in the salve is comfrey and plantain, plus olive oil and cacao butter and rosemary and lavender essential oils. That's it! Super-simple and yet super-effective for skin healing.
Comfrey and plantain are well-known skin helpers that have been used by herbalists worldwide for centuries. (Angela says, btw this is the green plantain leafy plant that grows all over on people's lawns, not anything to do with bananas, in case you were wondering. ;-)
So I asked Angela why she thinks it's so effective, because there is literally no product on the market that I know of that actually truly heals the skin like this, and how on earth could it work for Rheumatoid Arthritis?
She said, It's oil based and not water based, so the active ingredients get to sink into the skin, and it sits their for awhile, and doesn't just wipe off. Additionally, it creates a barrier so that's why it's good for nappy (diaper) rash.
She said that maybe it's the magic combination, or the market doesn't have Matico here, or most likely it's because I make it so concentrated. If people make it for commercial reasons, they don't use as much of the herbs to minimize costs and maximize profit. I always make it really really really potent, with the active herbal ingredients.
Additionally it's super fresh. The herbs are wild and not burnt down to the ground. The Matico for example is hand harvested and the juices of the plant are still in tact from using a dehydrator.
You guys, it's so concentrated that it burns the skin with healing properties when you put it on in damaged areas. A tiny amount goes a really long way and is really helpful. These jars are 4oz, so you get an entire jug of healing goodness for the skin.
Now don't get me wrong, we do have a lot in stock, 800 jars, but this is just a one time deal for now and then it's gone. I’m not sure how long in the future we will be able to hand-harvest more Matico and then have someone bring it back for us. It’s a lot of work.
Trust me, you want as many jars of this as you can get your hands on.
