8 Powerful Ways Momotaro Apotheca’s Salve Supports Healing & Everyday Relief
Share
You know salve is our number one hero for vulva and vaginal infection and irritation but do you know it does more than soothe yeast, BV and UTI's? If you’re struggling with irritation be it postpartum discomfort, hemorrhoids, or skin conditions like Lichen Sclerosis...you’re not alone. And guess what, you can also use salve in these instances
Plant-powered, dermatologist-reviewed our salve can soothe and restore your skin while supporting long-term healing. Free from parabens, alcohol, and synthetic fragrance, this all-in-one salve combines nourishing antimicrobial botanicals to create a protective, healing environment for your skin.
Here are 8 ways our Salve can help more and why it’s a must-have in your self-care routine
1. Natural Relief for Hemorrhoids
Why it helps: Hemorrhoids are inflamed veins that cause itching, swelling, and pain. The Salve’s calendula reduces inflammation, while Oregon grape and goldenseal (berberine-rich botanicals) fight bacteria and yeast that can worsen irritation. Beeswax and jojoba oil create a soothing barrier to reduce friction and encourage healing.
Unlike drugstore creams with steroids, the Salve is gentle, pH-balanced, and safe for daily use even in sensitive areas. Ahem the butthole.
2. Postpartum Care & Perineal Healing
Why it helps: After childbirth, tender skin around the perineum and vulva needs gentle support. The Salve combines vitamin E-rich Kokum with calendula to support tissue repair. Its antimicrobial herbs (like goldenseal) reduce risk of infection while easing soreness.
It is also safe during pregnancy, alcohol-free, and free from hormone disruptors, something every new parent deserves.
3. Poison Ivy & Plant Rashes
Why it helps: Poison ivy leaves behind an itchy, blistering rash caused by urushiol oil. Tea tree oil provides antimicrobial protection, while calendula reduces redness and speeds recovery. The protective beeswax layer helps skin stay calm as it heals.
Instead of relying on petroleum-based ointments, Salve gives you plant-based relief that soothes immediately and addresses the root of the issue.
4. Soothing Sunburns
Why it helps: Sunburn damages the skin barrier, leaving it red, hot, and tender. The Salve’s jojoba oil and coconut oil deeply hydrate, while echinacea preserves collagen to prevent further breakdown. Calendula helps accelerate wound healing so skin recovers faster.
It’s a cleaner, more nourishing option than aloe gels that often contain alcohol or dyes, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
5. Calming Bug Bites & Stings
Why it helps: Insect bites trigger histamine reactions that cause swelling and itching. Tea tree oil soothes irritation while preventing infection from scratching, and calendula helps restore balance to the skin barrier after all the itching and scratching.
Compact and travel-friendly, Salve is perfect for camping, beach days, or hiking offering quick, reliable relief from pesky bites without toxic chemicals.
6. Healing Angular Cheilitis (Cracks at Mouth Corners)
Why it helps: Angular cheilitis is often caused by fungal or bacterial overgrowth, leading to painful cracks in the corners of your mouth. The Salve’s berberine-rich herbs target microbial issues, while jojoba oil and coconut oil rehydrate and repair the delicate skin.
Safe enough to use near your mouth, unlike many medicated creams. It heals while moisturizing, helping prevent flare-ups.
7. Supporting HSV Lesions (Cold Sores & Genital Lesions)
Why it helps: HSV lesions are painful and can be triggered by stress or irritation. While Salve is not a cure, its tea tree oil reduces itching and discomfort, while calendula and echinacea promote skin repair. Moisturizing oils prevent cracking and secondary irritation.
Conventional creams often sting or over-dry. Salve offers gentle, plant-based support to keep skin comfortable while it heals.
8. Lichen Sclerosis Symptom Support
Why it helps: Lichen sclerosis causes thin, fragile, irritated skin. The Salve’s echinacea helps preserve collagen and tissue structure, while calendula promotes regeneration and circulation. Its gentle formula reduces itch and supports resilience over time.
Free from harsh steroids or irritants, Salve is a trusted natural option to help manage flare-ups with consistent, nourishing care.
From hemorrhoids to sunburn, postpartum healing to Lichen Sclerosis, our all-in-one Salve proves that plant based alternatives can be both gentle and powerful. With its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and deeply moisturizing botanicals, this dermatologist tested formula goes beyond soothing yeast, BV, and UTIs, it’s a true multitasker for your most sensitive skin.
Whether you keep it in your bathroom cabinet, diaper bag, or travel kit, Salve is the hero you’ll reach for again and again when irritation strikes.
