Why we made this

For those seeking natural relief from muscle soreness, the Pá7pawtn Nettle & Arnica Salve offers a potent, plant-powered solution. Inspired by Pá7pawtn, the Squamish word for "plant that relieves muscle soreness," this salve combines nettle, arnica, and peppermint to ease tension and accelerate recovery.

My great-uncle taught me that the stinging in nettle indicates the powerful medicinal properties of this plant. With its cooling, tingly sensation, it provides soothing relief after a workout or a long day, helping to restore comfort and balance to your muscles. It’s a simple yet effective way to harness the restorative power of nature. - Leigh

Key Ingredients

Arnica

Arnica (Arnica montana) is a hardy, herbaceous plant characterized by bright yellow, daisy-like flowers and lance-shaped, slightly hairy leaves. The flower heads are the primary part used in herbal preparations to reduce swelling and inflammation, ideal for bruises, sore muscles, and puffiness.

Ts’exts’ix - Stinging Nettle

Ts’exts’ix comes from the root word ts’ix, meaning “singed” or “burned.” My great-uncle taught me that the stinging of nettle indicates the powerful medicinal properties of this plant. Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) is a testament to the strength in vulnerability. It's power belies a nurturing heart, rich in nutrients that invigorate and rejuvenate your skin.

Beeswax

Beeswax (Cera alba) is a natural wax produced by honeybees that forms a protective, breathable barrier on the skin, locking in moisture while soothing, softening, and shielding against environmental irritants—making it a staple in balms, salves, and moisturizers.

“I have a few patches of eczema on my arms and tried using a prescription but it kept coming back days later. I started using this salve and I noticed a huge difference within a few days and now it's totally gone!! Holy smokes!!! Love and appreciation to all those who put in the time and knowledge into these products.”

Breanna

“Right away I felt an improvement in my shoulder and neck pain. I have been suffering for months and months and finally have relief because of this salve.”

Janet

“I have skin that is often irritated by other products and found this one doesn't bother my skin at all. As others have said there is a fragrance but it isn't overwhelming. I have arthritis and achey joints and it is nice to use this product to take the edge off. ”

Quickened Bruise Healing

I recently had multiple biopsies in a single area leaving extensive and very vivid bruising. A few applications a day of this balm in the first few days of healing has improved swelling and the darkness of the bruising a significant amount . I’m healing faster than i was told to expect.

I use these salves at night and they're absolutely amazing. My legs feel so much more limber in the mornings. They don't have a strong scent either, which is nice. Great option for those who like the efficiency of tiger balm or other similar things but would prefer something without an invasive scent.

chronic Lyme pain management

This seriously has moved into my top 3 must have on my person for my chronic Lyme pain management salves. Stumbled on a tester in a BC store & in minutes I knew I was going home with a tin. There’s a very light smell but it didn’t bother my migraine & my hand I tested it on was suddenly moving better! Now I use it as it is in the tin or with extra Japanese mint oil dropped into my hand before applying, if more targeted for migraine management on my neck & shoulders.

Truly, I’ve found it effective for when I’m moving around at home (doing regular life stuff that unfortunately challenges the body still too much these days), driving (for any length of time to keep my neck, shoulders & arms at a lower flare up level) or even when trying to do more activity & I’m trying to catch the pain before it gets too high. It is especially effective with my hands, knees & neck but even use it on my feet when they’re swelling horribly bad - from winter cement shooting pain &/or migraine symptom issues of painful pins & needles.

if there’s a tin that’s larger or a discount for returning these smaller tins to get me supply, please let me know. I can go through 2 of these in 6 months of winter (being really selective on when I’m using it) but I limit my use in summer as it becomes quite high of a cost to get it in AB (even directly at the Organic store). Knowing this, I’ll be stocking up before I leave BC this spring ;)

Tears of relief

I have struggled with pain due to a spinal disorder most of my life. I have used many products with arnica and know that my body responds well to it. I had already tried the Shkwen salve with amazing results for my joint pain so decided to give this a try too.
I had been dealing with a severe muscle spasm for about a week and the minute I rubbed this salve in the pain melted away. I was nearly in tears from the relief.
To me, the balance of nettle and arnica in this formulation is absolutely perfect.
I carry both salves with me wherever I go now. I was happy to share some with an elder who had sore hands the other day and he felt better immediately too.
Limlmtx (thank you) to Dr Leah Joseph and the team at Skwalwen for this formula.
Bonus: I have sensitive skin and my skin has had no reactions at all, it’s even softer and smoother than ever.
