Welcome To The Caravan Grimoire - Balms
Healing of Body, Heart & Home
Balms are the oldest medicine of the road. Made from beeswax, herbs, rendered fats, and sun-thickened oils, they travelled in pouches, clay pots, and carved wooden boxes. Caravans used them for cracked skin, aching joints, tight breath, grief, childbirth, and night fears. In the Caravan Grimoire, balms are crafted in that same spirit:
simple, slow-made, and purposeful - remedies for the body and the emotions it carries.
Each balm holds a story. Each formula serves a need.
Each jar is meant to be used, not admired, worn into everyday life like a faithful tool.
Here, you’ll find balms that warm the chest, soften worry in the ribs, ease sore muscles, mend cracks, soothe children, and comfort the womb. These are old remedies for modern weariness.
