Bitterdock Itch B Gone Salve

I get bit EVERY summer and I'm trying to be proactive at this point. I have my picaridin spray and 🧴 lotion for repelling and now I've got this salve for when I get bit.

So to the neighbors yard and into my kitchen I go!

Butters and oils and herbs and....BITTERDOCK!

Ideally, you should use the leaves/stalks straight, but I'm not always going to have a fresh leaf on me at all times 😂

Bitterdock is well known for its itch relief priorities for things like stinging nettle and skin irritations.

I might have went a little overboard with how many I made, so I guess into the shop they go!
