If you have visited the Arizona desert, you are probably familiar with creosote - the plant that fills the air with its scent after a rain

It is also an amazing plant to add to your medicine cabinet

Creosote is rich in antioxidants and other compounds to support our bodies while we heal. It prevents infection and encourages skin regeneration

Now available infused into a salve with other natural ingredients that support wound healing and deep hydration

Perfect for cuts and scrapes, scars, sunburns, eczema, and dry skin

Didn't they use to cure lumber bound for colonial ships with this stuff?

Yes. I work in the industry. Creosote is only allowed in the railroad industry. Everywhere else it is banned.

I’m not sure if it’s exactly the same. If you get the creosote that’s used to treat lumber, on your skin, it will burn and scar you.

It looks like there is history of medicinal use of the oil derived from the plant (not coal tar)

Yeah there has to be a difference. No way it’s the creosote I know of.

No, I think that is a tar extracted from coal. This is the common name of a bush local to Arizona, also known as chaparral, greasewood, or Larrea tridentata
