"The other day, my son got stung on his foot, we pulled out the stinger and immediately put Drawing Salve on it, covered with a band-aid and he relaxed on the couch for an hour. An hour later I checked on it and you couldn't even see where he got stung and he couldn't even feel it (if it wasn't for the band-aid he wouldn't have been able to even tell me what foot it was ). When looking at the band-aid with the Drawing Salve you could literally see where the venom was drawn out. You could see the clear liquid surrounded by Drawing Salve. It doesn't always work that fast, and every ailment will pose different challenges and time frames but it always blows me away. " Brittany Manion
 
Drawing salves have traditionally been used for many things, from drawing out splinters to thorns, toxins from insect/spider bites, ingrown hairs, infection from boils or pimples to soothing skin irritations like poison ivy. Basically, if it doesn't belong in your skin, Drawing Salve can help. This is an old time successful remedy, most commonly found in Amish communities.

This salve is for external use only. Apply to affected area and cover with a band-aid. Allow to remain on the skin until the infection or object has been drawn out. Reapply if necessary. Drawing Salve helps get the blood moving and softens the skin. It allows pus to build around the area and if used consistently will help push the infection and or object out of the skin.
