Herbal First Aid Balm (Homemade Neosporin)

This herbal first aid balm is my go-to “homemade Neosporin” for everyday skin mishaps. Infused with powerful healing herbs and blended into a rich, protective salve, it’s perfect for cuts, scrapes, chapped skin, and little outdoor adventures. Simple, natural, and made with ingredients you can trust — this is a staple for any home apothecary.
