Devil's Club Salve
Devil’s Club, Sʼáxtʼ in the Tlingit language, is one of Alaska’s most potent native herbs, due to its unique combination of phytochemicals – the biologically active compounds found in plants. For these reasons the inner bark and root of Devil’s Club have been used traditionally for centuries by Pacific Northwest indigenous cultures both internally and externally as a treatment for a wide range of conditions including skin and wound care, immune support, cold, flu, and respiratory infection, and joint pain relief. The early spring shoots of the Devil’s Club plant have also traditionally been collected and enjoyed as a food source.Devil’s Club is deeply woven, both medicinally and spiritually, into the culture of so many indigenous communities who have lived in union with the lands and waters of this region for centuries. The foreboding spikes of this powerful plant have been believed to ward off evil spirits, and Devil’s Club’s bare woody stalks have been used in the making of protective charms, body adornments, walking sticks, and fishing lures. Devil’s Club is known to be adaptogenic – meaning the plant’s compounds help our bodies adapt to and manage various stressors. This plant is also pain relieving, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral, among many other medicinal actions. Our Devil's Club Salve is specifically made to help aid in the relief of pain throughtout your body, using jojoba oil as our carrier oil, beeswax, a special blend off essential oils including our very own spruce oil all harvested right in the heart of talkeetna.
