Salves / Ointments

The Story When I was a child I remember walking by the rivers in Northern Michigan in the spring time and smelling this amazing sweet smell. I found out later this smell was from the balsam popular tree. And the tree buds, bark and roots all had amazing pain relief properties! The medicine was made by my ancestors the Anishinabek (Ojibwe, Chippewa) who were skilled at making legendary medicines that really helped people with their pains.   The pain relief occurs within 10 minutes after applying and can last for several hours (5-10 times longer than arnica)! Based on a traditional Native American topical pain relief salve from the Great Lakes Area. Minagin (Min-again) means, to rub on in Ojibwe. Minagin uses 100% all natural wild harvested or organic ingredients. This is a time tested medicine with at least 1,000 years of history. Maintains • Fibromyalgia• Neck and Joint Pain• Nerve Damage• Arthritis• Headaches• And More. Scent I call it the sweet smell of spring because the sweet smell reminds me of the sweet smell found by lakes and rivers in the spring time coming from the budding trees in Northern Michigan!  No one wants the strong smells of other non natural pain relievers like Icy hot or Ben-gay.  With Minagin you do not even smell it after it has been applied.

Balsam poplar buds are rich in muscle pain-relieving compounds, offering one of the most effective natural analgesics in traditional medicine. And, in honor of our cherished ancestors, honoring the land is integral to our sourcing and production practices. To create our soothing pain relief cream, we carefully pluck the buds from poplars in Northern Michigan. This meticulous process requires extensive traditional herbal knowledge and absolute care for the trees we harvest from. We are intentional about the sustainability of the herbs or bark we harvest, ensuring that we never damage the trees or ecosystems that enable our sustainable production processes. In many areas, our work has rejuvenated the ecosystem. By walking on the roots, pruning small trees, and other harvesting efforts, we have caused the areas we harvest from to regenerate themselves. For other included ingredients such as beeswax, we do our best to source all organic ingredients from local partners who share in our sustainable vision.
