  • I have medically compromised, sensitive skin and this is the only bar soap I use. It leaves my skin clean and silky soft. THANK YOU!!

    Katelyn H.

  • I have been using Healing Salve for 6 weeks. I have chronic eczema. It calmed my flare-up immediately and kept it controlled for 4 weeks. I also used this product on my 1 year old with the same results.

  • I couldn’t believe this (Joint Oil) would really work. I have arthritis and joint pain. But it works! My pain is much less and I use this whenever I have discomfort and pain in my knees, hands and elbows especially. I like that it is unscented. I have recommended this to lots of friends.

  • I have used the Spicy Oregano & Black Pepper Infused Vinegar for 2 years and it’s essential in my cooking! When I run out, there’s a difference in flavor until I restock.
