What is a "salve"?
A salve is a type of ointment or balm applied to the skin for healing purposes. It is typically a semi-solid mixture of medicinal ingredients and substances like oils or waxes that help soothe, protect, or heal the skin. Salves are often used to treat minor cuts, burns, rashes, insect bites, or dry skin conditions. They provide a protective barrier and can contain ingredients with healing properties, such as antibiotics, antifungals, or herbal extracts, depending on the specific need.
