Black Tar Drawing Salve .5oz

Black Tar is a traditional drawing salve used in the Appalachians for hundreds of years. I make this using my great great grandfather's recipe. It is 100% natural ingredients.

How does a Drawing Salve Work?

Black drawing salves were used since ancient times, especially by the Appalachian communities to draw out splinters, boils, pieces of glass, etc. They are basically ointments containing a mixture herbs, oils, wax tree resins and or activated charcoal, which are all known to draw out toxins and other foreign material stuck in the skin. The drawing salve works in a way that when you apply it on the affected area, it softens the skin by weakening it, then increases blood circulation to the area which causes pus to form around the splinter/boil, etc. As you apply the drawing salve consistently, the foreign object and pus are naturally drawn out of the skin, hence the name drawing salve.

Here’s a list of skin problems that could be healed naturally using my homemade drawing salve:

• Metal splinters
• Wood splinters
• Boils
• Thorns
• Warts
• Moles
• Pimples/Acne
• Insect Bites/stings
• Poison Ivy/Oak 
• Ingrown toenails
• Ingrown hairs
• Rashes

How to Use

Cleanse the affected area with warm water and a mild soap. Pat dry with a towel or paper towel. Scoop a pea-sized amount of the salve using a clean fingertip then apply on the affected area. You may cover with a band-aid or bandage if you wish, since it may be a bit messy. Let it sit for about 6 hours then cleanse the area again and re-apply. It usually takes 6-48 hours for the splinter to come off completely. Do the same if using for a boil, wart or pimple until you see results.
