Devils Club
According to legend, Tlingit (Pacific NW Natives) use of Devil's Club root began when a shaman observed bears wallowing in its roots to soothe their wounds. At Back Bay Botanicals Alaska, we harness the power of Devil's Club root, known to fight inflammation and promote healing. Many customers use our salve to combat arthritic pain, inflammation, and general discomfort. It's great for everyday use. The following conditions and symptoms may be relieved with repeated use of Devil’s Club root: Arthritis, Restless Leg Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, muscle, knee and joint aches and pains, stiff necks, eczema, minor cuts and burns, insect bites, sunburn, frostbite, tattoo recovery, poison ivy or sumac, psoriasis, and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Of course, you can also use the oil and balm for irritating cuticle issues and to moisturize overworked hands!
