🌼 Lose the Itch Plantain Salve | Organic Herbal Relief for Irritated, Itchy & Inflamed Skin
This isn't mass production; it's healing, expertly made. Lose the Itch is formulated by Donna Cleary, a Clinical Herbalist and Registered Nurse with 13 years of experience at a Harvard teaching hospital. Her formulations draw on a hereditary Irish herbalism tradition documented to 1100 AD.
 
A Symphony of Botanical Power
Plantago Major, Plantago Lanceolata, Rosemary, Peppermint, Organic Olive Oil, and Beeswax — each containing active plant compounds that demonstrate anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, antimicrobial, and skin-restorative properties in laboratory (in vitro) studies. Plantain in particular contains aucubin and caffeic acid — compounds with a long history of traditional use for skin healing, itch relief, and supporting healthy skin cell turnover.
 
Why Lose the Itch?
Anti-Inflammatory and Antihistamine Properties: Plantain contains natural antihistamine compounds traditionally used to provide relief from redness, swelling and itchiness — particularly effective for bug bites, bee stings, and rashes
Antimicrobial Protection: Studies show plantain, rosemary, and peppermint extracts can inhibit bacterial growth, protecting broken or irritated skin
Skin Cell Renewal: Plantain's active compounds are traditionally used to support healthy skin cell turnover — encouraging fresh, healthy skin to replace damaged or irritated tissue
Moisture Barrier: Beeswax forms a natural protective barrier that locks in moisture while allowing skin to breathe
Versatile: Traditionally used for eczema, psoriasis, bug bites, poison ivy, dry skin, acne, and minor wounds
 
Meet the Botanicals
Plantago Major & Lanceolata: Two potent plantain species known for their ability to soothe inflammation and draw out impurities from irritated tissue
Organic Olive Oil: A deeply nourishing carrier that hydrates dry, flaky skin while delivering botanical actives
Rosemary: Traditionally used for its antimicrobial properties and ability to support local circulation and skin health
Peppermint: Contains menthol, traditionally used to calm irritation and reduce chronic itch, and has antimicrobial properties
Beeswax: Forms a natural protective barrier that locks in moisture during the healing process
 
Clinical Recommendation
For ongoing skin conditions, consider pairing with one of our Reishi mushroom blends for internal immune modulation — addressing the systemic root while Lose the Itch supports the skin directly.
