Ache-Easing Salves and Balms


Aloe vera gel is an age-old sunburn remedy. Keep a bottle in the fridge and smooth it on after your first signs of sizzle. The Soothing Calendula Salve from Healing Anthropology contains calendula, an immune system stimulant, and neem oil, an anti-inflammatory and burn remedy. Mild rubs containing witch hazel and chamomile are also popular.
