I've had bad psoriasis that flares up throughout my life and over the years, ive been mostly using corticosteroids and various drug store lotions/creams. Last week, I bought this Devils Club Salve from Sisters Sage and was even shown the branches that were stripped to make it. The owner said it was good for a bunch of things including really dry skin from eczema and psoriasis.
At the time of purchase, I had bumpy, scaly, flaky patches on a few of my fingers and one on my hand and there were cracks in my skin from being so dry. I have been applying this and the comfrey salve throughout the day and at night, but especially after washing my hands/showering. I keep the Devils Club Salve in my bag and bring it with me everywhere and the Comfrey Salve is next to my bed. After one day, I didnt even recognize my hands - they were so much smoother. Of course, the psoriasis was not gone completely and I continued to use these salves. But a week later, the dry patches and cracks were gone. I do still have some textured areas where the patches were but I think my skin just needs more time to heal. This salve has a nice, but subtle scent and I am able to apply it at work in a scent-free building. They go on oily (more so when its warmer) and absorb into the skin quickly. It is easy to apply and it feels quite luxurious, so I am always reaching for it.
Overall, I highly recommend this product and all the other products at Sisters Sage. It feels great using natural, local products (that work!) from this women-owned small business. I will definitely be going back for more products in the future!
