Sunflower oil.

🌻 Sunflower Oil and the Lymphatic System 

1. Supports Healthy Circulation and Lymph Flow (Topically) 

 Because sunflower oil is light, absorbable, and rich in vitamin E and linoleic acid, it not only supports the skin and acts as a protective barrier against free radicals, it also supports the cardiovascular system. 

High oleic sunflower oil is high in monounsaturated fats (omega-9), which have anti-inflammatory properties and support cardiovascular health. 

  • Lymphatic drainage, especially when used in manual massage toward the heart 

  • Tissue detoxification, by helping move stagnant interstitial fluid. 

Comfrey Root.

1. Circulatory Support 

Comfrey can improve microcirculation in damaged or stagnant tissues, indirectly aiding lymph movement. This makes it useful in topical compresses or salves for swollen legs, lymphatic congestion, or joint inflammation. 

2. Reduces Inflammation and Swelling 

Comfrey contains allantoin, rosmarinic acid, and mucilage compounds that speed up cell regeneration and calm inflammation. When lymphatic stagnation or swollen nodes are due to injury, inflammation, or edema, comfrey can help reduce swelling and may promote tissue repair. 

STILLINIGIA 

Stillingia root (Stillingia sylvatica), sometimes called Queen’s Delight, is a potent alterative, lymphagogue, and detoxifying herb that played a major role in 19th-century North American herbal medicine — especially in lymphatic, glandular, and skin conditions associated with sluggish elimination. 

Blood Purifier Tincture; homage to Dr. Oliver. P. Brown - Sacred Infusions Apothecary

Stillingia.

Paying Homage. 

 

I discovered this herb and its abililty to clear the lymphatic system from Dr Oliver P. Brown's The Complete Herbalist. First published in 1809. Dr. Brown wrote extensively on the uses of Queen's Delight in regard to the lymphatic system. 

Alterative and Detoxifying Actions 

Herbalists classify stillingia as a “deep alterative” — meaning it helps restore normal function to the body’s eliminative organs (liver, lymph, skin, and kidneys). This makes it valuable for chronic conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, or systemic toxicity, where the lymphatic system is overloaded. 

It works best in combination with other alteratives like: 

  • Burdock root (Arctium lappa)  
  • Red clover (Trifolium pratense) 
  • Oregon grape root (Mahonia aquifolium) 
  • Sarsaparilla (Smilax spp.) 

Pau d'Arco Bark.

🌿 How Pau d’Arco Supports the Lymphatic System 

1. Cleanses and Reduces Lymphatic Load 

The lymphatic system helps remove cellular waste, microbes, and toxins from tissues. Pau d’Arco’s broad-spectrum antimicrobial compounds — especially lapachol and beta-lapachone — can help reduce the overall microbial and toxic burden in the body, easing pressure on the lymphatic system. 

2. Blood and Lymph Detoxification 

Traditional Amazonian and South American herbalism classify Pau d’Arco as a “blood purifier”, used to cleanse the blood and support the skin and lymphatic pathways.  Today, Western herbalists use Pau d' Arco Bark for skin eruptions, boils, and chronic inflammatory or infectious conditions — all of which can reflect poor lymphatic clearance. 

 

Essential Oils.

Essential oils 

 This salve does contain essential oils therefore you should keep this salve away from bodily orifices. Essential oil dilution is 2%, making this salve safe for daily use and for children 12 years old and up! 

 Egyptian Geranium:  

Detoxifying, helps clear fluid retention. 

 It’s often called the “balancer” of aromatherapy — working simultaneously on the lymphatic, circulatory, nervous, and endocrine systems. 

 1. Promotes Lymphatic Drainage and Fluid Balance 

Egyptian geranium has strong diuretic and circulatory properties. 

 → It helps move stagnant lymph and reduce water retention, especially in areas like: 

  • Legs and ankles 
  • Underarms 
  • Face and neck (puffiness) 

 It gently stimulates lymph vessel contraction, helping move toxins and excess fluid back into circulation. 

 Frankincense: 

Energizing while improving flow and reduces inflammation. Promotes Lymphatic Flow and Detoxification 

Frankincense improves microcirculation and cellular detox, encouraging the movement of stagnant lymph. 

 By supporting the body’s natural detox processes, it: 

  • Helps reduce fluid buildup 
  • Supports tissue repair and oxygenation 
  • Enhances immune cell communication within lymphatic tissues 

Castor Oil.

1. Stimulates Lymphatic Circulation

Castor oil applied topically has been shown (in both traditional and clinical contexts) to improve AND promote lymphatic drainage, while increasing good lymph counts such as, lymphocytes.

Lymphocytes — a type of white blood cell — are produced and stored in lymphatic tissue. Castor oil seems to:

Stimulate the activity of the thymus gland

Enhance lymphocyte production

Promote movement of lymph fluid through tissues

This helps clear cellular waste, toxins, and excess fluids from the body, reducing stagnation and inflammation

"just like honey baby from the bee"

Beeswax Quick Benefits:

  • Emollient: It's rich in Linoleic Acid (an Omega-6 fatty acid), which helps the skin maintain its natural moisture barrier and prevents dehydration.

  • Rich in Vitamin E: As a powerful antioxidant, Vitamin E helps protect the skin from environmental stressors and supports overall skin health.

  • Non-Comedogenic: It's a lightweight oil that is highly absorbent and generally won't clog pores, making it suitable for most skin types, including acne-prone skin.

  • Soothing: It has anti-inflammatory qualities that can help calm dry, sensitive, or irritated skin. Perfect for those seasonal transitions that dry out the skin during autumn and winter transitions.

    Our salves are formulated with raw, local beeswax. Beeswax is abundant in vitamin A, making beeswax moisturizing to the skin, while it soothes red, irritated, and inflamed skin.

    Did you know that honeybees have a very sophisticated memory for being so tiny? Not only that but, their dedication to their craft, and loyalty to their queen is unmatched.

    It takes twelve worker bees to make one teaspoon of honey. With bees having a life expectancy of six to eight weeks, that's basically their entire lifetime. So, the next time you use honey to sweeten your tea, be sure to give extra thanks to those bees.
