There’s been a lot of talk about natural pain relief lately, so I wanted to share & explain two extracts I make, plus share a couple simple options for young kiddos.
🌿Deep Relief Extract🌿
For when you need stronger, targeted support.
-Willow bark: aspirin-like salicylates for pain + inflammation
-Turmeric + Black Pepper: anti-inflammatory synergy; pepper boosts absorption
-Ginger: warming, improves circulation, eases stiffness
-Yarrow: anti-inflammatory, supports tissue recovery
-Clove: natural numbing action (thanks to eugenol)
-Mullein: soothing, gentle inflammation support for tissues/joints
-Lavender: calming, antispasmodic, helps ease tension
👉🏼Multidimensional support that tackles pain and inflammation from several directions at once.
❌Not for pregnancy, nursing, or younger children.
🌿Mother’s Comfort Extract🌿
For gentle, nourishing comfort: herbs are all generally considered pregnancy + nursing friendly.
-Mullein: soothing for tissues, gentle anti-inflammatory
-Chamomile: calming nervine, mild pain support, relaxes tension
-Oatstraw: deeply nourishing to the nervous system, builds resilience
-Marshmallow Root: demulcent, coats and soothes irritated tissues
-Ginger: gentle warmth + circulation support
-Lavender: calming for both body and mind
👉🏼Instead of “tackling” pain, this blend softens discomfort, eases inflammation, calms the nerves, and nourishes.
🌿Single Herb Options for very young children🌿
Because sometimes the simplest choice is the best.
-Chamomile Extract: gentle nervine and mild pain reliever; often used for teething, tummy upset, and helping little ones relax when they’re fussy or uncomfortable.
-Catnip: calming nervine for children; helps ease irritability, supports restful sleep, and can gently soothe tension or digestive upset.
