Summer Body Maintenance: Salve, Sun, Allergies & The Belly Ritual
Summer Body Maintenance - Simple Salve, seasonal nutrition, and daily habits for skin health, circulation, and membrane renewal.
Spring has arrived and summer is right around the corner. Warmer weather means more time outdoors, more sunshine, more activity, and more opportunities to put your salve to work.
Here are some of our favorite ways to prepare for the season.
The Belly Ritual
If there is one thing we would encourage people to do this summer, it is The Belly Ritual.
Who has tried it?
What changes have you noticed?
The Belly Ritual
Over the past few months, Albert has lost 15 pounds and dropped below 200 pounds for the first time in more than 20 years. Along with The Belly Ritual, he has also added krill oil, methyl-folate, and methyl-B12 to his routine.
The Belly Ritual is designed to support circulation, movement, membrane health, and the body's natural maintenance systems.

Nourish Your Body
Healthy membranes require healthy building materials.
Cell membranes are constantly being repaired, replaced, and rebuilt throughout life. Phospholipids, B vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats all contribute to maintaining these structures and the signaling systems they support.

Smooth Summer Feet
Cracked heels still have time to recover before sandal season.
Apply Simple Salve to your feet before bed and cover them with cotton socks. While you sleep, the salve helps soften dry skin and support healthy moisture and skin renewal.
Many people notice smoother, softer feet within days.

Too Much Sun?
Sun burns! Turn the ouch into ahhhh. Sunburn can turn a beautiful day into an uncomfortable evening.
→Soothing: Simple Salve
Severe Burns, Bug Bites & Poison Ivy
For more intense irritation, many people reach for Pain Free Stuff.
The addition of pine tar makes it a favorite for bug bites, poison ivy, burns, and other forms of skin irritation.

Allergy Season
Place a blueberry size amount of the Simple Salve on the tongue, then press up to the roof of the mouth. Let it melt and sit for a minute, then swallow what is left. Repeat as needed and say, “Cheerio, allergies!”
(we’re talking clearing mold too.)

All our salves are anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral
Membranes Protect the Digestive Tract
Since we are on the subject of eating the Simple Salve, did you know it can help with digestive problems? The digestive tract depends on protective membrane barriers. When these barriers become impaired, irritation and dysfunction can follow. Learn how membrane health relates to protective secretions, tissue maintenance, and conditions involving the digestive tract.

Membranes Renew Throughout Life
Cell membranes are not permanent structures.
They are constantly being repaired and replaced. Healthy phospholipid intake helps provide the materials needed for membrane maintenance, signaling, circulation, and tissue renewal.

Dust Off That Jar
If you've got a jar of salve sitting on the shelf, now is a great time to put it to work.
Simple Salve was never intended to be just an emergency product. Many of our customers use it as part of their daily body maintenance routine.
Whether you're working in the garden, spending time at the beach, dealing with allergies, or simply supporting healthy skin, summer is one of the best times of year to get salved.
Happy Salving!
