How Soul Tender’s Remedy Salve Works—And Why It’s Different
If you’re living with daily pain, stiffness, or inflammation, you’re not alone. An estimated 20% of U.S. adults experience chronic pain—yet most conventional options are either loaded with chemicals, offer only temporary relief, or come with side effects that create more problems than they solve.
At Soul Tender Wellness, we believe pain relief should be both effective and safe—and that healing can happen when you support the body’s innate intelligence rather than override it.
That belief is what led to the creation of our best-selling Remedy Salve, a plant-based topical made with organically grown CBD oil and a synergistic blend of healing botanicals. It’s more than a soothing balm—it’s a targeted, science-backed formula designed to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and help the body restore balance at the cellular level.
🌿 What Makes Remedy Salve Different?
Most over-the-counter creams use synthetic numbing agents like menthol, lidocaine, or methyl salicylate to mask pain. These may offer temporary relief, but they do nothing to address inflammation, nerve dysfunction, or tissue stress. Worse, prolonged use can lead to skin sensitivity, immune suppression, and diminishing effectiveness over time.
Remedy Salve does the opposite.
When applied to the skin, its active compounds—including CBD (Cannabidiol)—interact with CB1 and CB2 receptors in your endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a major role in pain perception, immune balance, and inflammation regulation.
✅ Peer-reviewed proof:
A 2020 study published in Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology found that topical CBD application significantly reduced inflammation and pain-related behaviors in arthritis models—without adverse side effects typically seen in NSAIDs or steroids.¹
🔬 A Look at the Key Ingredients (and Why They Work)
Organic CBD Cannabidiol – Calms pain signals and reduces inflammation at the receptor level. Unlike THC, it’s non-psychoactive—but research shows it can reduce neuropathic and inflammatory pain via both central and peripheral mechanisms.²
Boswellia (Frankincense Extract) – A centuries-old remedy shown in modern studies to inhibit pro-inflammatory enzymes like 5-lipoxygenase, easing joint discomfort and swelling.³
White Turmeric (Curcuma zedoaria) – Different from yellow turmeric, this rare botanical contains curcuminoids that modulate immune function and reduce inflammatory cytokines.
Clove Bud Oil – Rich in eugenol, a powerful natural analgesic that also has antimicrobial properties. Often used for toothaches, but equally powerful for muscle and joint discomfort.
Birch Oil – Contains methyl salicylate, a natural pain-relieving compound similar to aspirin—perfect for deep, chronic aches.
Calendula & Seabuckthorn Oil – Skin-healing plants that support tissue regeneration and soothe irritation. Excellent for addressing pain with surface-level inflammation.
Flaxseed, Avocado & Moringa Oils – Provide omega-rich, anti-inflammatory support while enhancing absorption into the skin.
🧪 Case Study: From Arthritis Stiffness to Daily Mobility
One of our longtime customers, Teresa (age 64), had been dealing with severe morning stiffness due to rheumatoid arthritis. After months of trying pharmaceutical topicals, she decided to try a plant-based option—and began using Soul Tender’s Remedy Salve twice daily on her hands and knees.
“By the third day, the tightness in my knuckles was gone. I could move freely in the morning again. I even started going back to yoga,” she shared. “This salve gave me my body back.”
Her story isn’t unique. Many users report noticeable relief within the first few uses, with continued improvement over weeks of consistent application.
