Wahiŋkpe's Pain Salve

Description

Wahiŋkpe (wah – hiŋk – pay) means “arrow” in the Lakota language.

Use: For supporting relief from nerve pain, muscle spasms, and restless leg syndrome. For external use only.

Application: apply small amount on affected area. Wait 30-60 minutes and add another thin layer if necessary.  

Note from Megan: This salve is two years in the making. I began developing this salve when my daughter Arrow (Wahiŋkpe) developed a sudden severe pain in her legs. Since then, it has moved into her left arm as well. After extensive testing, doctors found she has a rare genetic nerve pain disorder, which has no noticeable triggers other than cold temperatures. So, I developed this salve using medicinal plants that have been used for generations by Indigenous peoples, to help Arrow without having to rely solely on pharmaceutical medications.

Salves should be kept in a cool, dry area.  Do not let salves freeze or melt as this will cause the consistency to be off. The product should still work as intended if this happens, but the consistency will make it more difficult to apply.

Sciatica and arthritic knee

The staff relieved some of the pain in my leg and in my knee. I did note that if I waited and added another application it did help more. Years ago I came across this product at a wasipi in mystic lake? I had bought the pain/discomfort salve (which even though it was about 5 years old still helped) and the summer one for insect bites (which worked amazingly). I gifted both of these to a friend of mine to see if it would help with some of their nerve issues and their face. Even though they were older products he said it did relieve some of the pain for him. So this led me to check out your website and made the voyage down to Mankato and bought almost one of everything; lol just kidding, but I did stock up on a lot of products for myself and gifts. I'll have to gather up a few of my friends and make another voyage to Mankato. ALSO, I felt energized just being in the store!

Great products all around. It's surprisingly effective. And I love knowing that it is indigenous-made, using local, natural ingredients. You can't go wrong using any of Lakota-Made products!
