How to Use Fix It Salve for More Than Just Herpes Outbreaks

Versatile Magic in Your Jar

We designed the Fix It Salve to be your ultimate comfort companion, especially during herpes outbreaks. But if you think this little jar is a one-trick pony, think again. True to its name, this salve is a multi-tasking hero, ready to soothe, heal, and protect a whole range of everyday skin woes. It’s time to discover all the ways this rich, nurturing balm can become an indispensable part of your wellness toolkit.

The Core Philosophy: Soothing, Healing, Protecting

At the heart of Fix It Salve are ingredients nature perfected for skin repair:
  • Manuka Honey: Nature's powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent, known for its wound-healing properties.
  • Frankincense Oil: An ancient remedy prized for its ability to calm inflammation, reduce redness, and promote healthy skin regeneration.
Together, they create a nourishing, protective barrier that supports your skin's innate ability to heal itself. It's this philosophy that makes the salve so versatile.

Your Fix It Salve Action Guide: 5 Uses Beyond Outbreaks

1. For Daily Skin Repair & Hydration

  • Use It For: Parched hands, cracked cuticles, rough elbows, or flaky patches on knees and heels.
  • Why It Works: The deeply emollient formula creates a breathable, occlusive layer that locks in moisture. Unlike thin lotions, it provides long-lasting hydration that repairs the skin barrier.
  • How-To: After washing your hands or showering, pat skin until slightly damp and massage in a small amount of salve. It’s perfect for an overnight intensive treatment on extra-dry areas.

2. For Minor Cuts, Scrapes & Bug Bites

  • Use It For: Paper cuts, kitchen nicks, mosquito bites, or minor scrapes.
  • Why It Works: Manuka honey is clinically recognized for its wound-care benefits, helping to keep minor injuries clean while creating an ideal moist healing environment. Frankincense helps calm the sting and itch.
  • How-To: Clean the area with mild soap and water. Apply a thin layer of salve and cover with a bandage if needed. Reapply 1-2 times daily.

3. For Chafing & Friction Burn

  • Use It For: Inner-thigh chafing from walking or working out, bra line irritation, or blisters from new shoes.
  • Why It Works: The salve provides a smooth, protective layer that reduces direct skin-on-skin or fabric-on-skin friction, preventing the raw, burning feeling.
  • How-To: Apply a thin layer to areas prone to chafing before you head out for a walk, run, or long day in certain clothes. It’s a discreet lifesaver!

4. For Sunburn & Windburn Relief

  • Use It For: Soothing skin that's pink and tender from too much sun or dry, chapped from harsh wind.
  • Why It Works: It delivers intense, cooling moisture to dehydrated, inflamed skin. The anti-inflammatory properties help take the heat out of a mild sunburn.
  • How-To: Once your skin has cooled down (after a cool shower or compress), gently pat on a layer. Avoid heavy rubbing.

5. For Eczema, Psoriasis & General Rashes

  • Use It For: Calming dry, itchy, or inflamed patches associated with common skin conditions.
  • Why It Works: It addresses two core issues: extreme dryness and inflammation. By deeply moisturizing and soothing irritation, it can provide significant relief from the itch-scratch cycle.
  • How-To: Apply to affected areas as needed. For best results, use consistently as part of your daily skin care routine on flare-up zones.

The Simple Rule for Any Application: Clean, Thin, Consistent.

No matter what you're using it for, this golden rule applies:
  1. Clean: Always start with clean, dry skin.
  2. Thin: A little goes a long way! Apply a thin layer. You don't need a heavy coat for it to be effective.
  3. Consistent: For ongoing issues like dryness or a healing scrape, apply 1-2 times daily for best results.

  • It's a Companion, Not a Cure: For herpes, this salve is a phenomenal tool for comfort and supporting your skin's healing. It is a great addition if you're on antivirals or taking daily Immune support supplements or without.
