EVERYTHING HURTS

Devil’s Club • Arnica • Comfrey • St. John’s Wort

Good Medicine | Rooted in Tradition

While many are wary of Devil’s Club for its formidable thorns, beneath its protective exterior lies a plant long revered for its medicinal gifts. Sacred to many Indigenous Peoples of the Pacific Northwest from Oregon to Alaska, Devil’s Club has been traditionally valued for generations for its use in addressing aches, pains, rheumatism, arthritis, and other physical discomforts.

Its strength lies not only in its traditional uses, but in the teachings surrounding its respectful harvesting in alignment with proper protocols, careful preparation, and the relationship between people and the land.

Our Everything Hurts Salve brings together Devil’s Club, Arnica, Comfrey, and St. John’s Wort — plants traditionally valued in herbal practices for soothing tired muscles, aching joints, and supporting skin comfort.

What Makes Our Salve Different

It's not simply the plants we use. It's how we honour them.

From respectfully harvesting our botanicals to patiently preparing our own herb-infused oils, every batch reflects generations of family knowledge, careful preparation, and a commitment to pure ingredients.

We make our own infusions rather than relying on pre-made oils, allowing us to remain connected to every step of the process.

Good medicine takes time. And for us, that makes all the difference.

Rooted in Our Family's Teachings

Everything Hurts grew from generations of women preparing traditional salves to care for their families. When a respected Knowledge Keeper gifted us a harvest of Devil's Club and encouraged us to share its gifts, it inspired us to bring our family remedies to the broader community.

Today, we continue these teachings through SOLAH Botanicals, honouring our matriarchs and encouraging the next generation to take pride in their heritage.
