Wild Harvested Creosote Salve
Wild Harvested Creosote Salve

Creosote is an evergreen shrub with small waxy leaves that thrives in desert climates. The plant got the name creosote when men building the railroad west through Texas into Southern CA in the late 19th century thought the bushes smelled similar to the petroleum-based creosote with which they infused railroad ties. It's also known as "la hediondilla" or stinky one, because of its distinctive smell that most southwesterners say reminds them of the desert in the rain.

Early Indigenous Americans used creosote to treat many maladies, including sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis, chicken pox, dysmenorrhea, and snakebite.
