Palyani All Purpose Balm

"A friend recommended this balm for a small rash on my eyelid and I loved the sound of it so I gave it a go. The scent is divine, and I love that it’s all-purpose and made with just three simple ingredients. It’s one of those little jars you’ll keep reaching for."

Traditionally, this multi-purpose balm has been applied to ease muscle and joint discomfort (including arthritis and general aches), relieve headaches and migraines when massaged into the temples and soothe a range of skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, rashes, cuts, burns and nappy rash.

It’s also been used to reduce irritation and swelling from insect bites and stings - including mozzies, bees, and more.

For respiratory support, it may be rubbed into the chest during times of congestion.

Some even melt a little to nourish the scalp or hydrate dry hair ends.

Gentle enough for daily use, it’s a beautiful companion for dry lips, tired limbs, or moments when you simply need to unwind.

Rub into the affected area 2 times daily until symptoms ease. Safe to use during pregnancy. 

Balm should not be applied to festering sores or open wounds, particularly in eczema-affected areas, as it is oil-based and needs the skin to be relatively dry and not weeping.

Olive Oil has anti-inflammatory properties as well as moisturising the skin.

Beeswax has many healing properties, so it made sense to include it as a key ingredient. Bees also have their own cultural connection for us, as they are part of the pollination process for trees, growing beautiful flowers.

Irmangka Irmangka translates to “Bush Medicine” in Kokatha/Yunkanyjatjara language. Commonly referred to as Emu Bush, it’s an arid plant known for its strong anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and skin-nourishing properties. Grown in the Western and Central desert regions of SA, it has been used as a healing medicine by Aboriginies for thousands of years.
