How To Make Dock Leaf Salve - Sooths Stings 🍃 (Rumex obtusifolius)
The broadleaved dock has many uses but of course its most famously used for soothing stinging nettle stings! 🌿😵 That's why Stella created Dock & Coconut salve! By combining the dock with coconut oil we're able to transfer that lovely soothing goodness of the dock into a salve that can fit in your pocket. We love our dock leaf salve stelly created it to sooth the children's stings whenever somones stung by a stinging nettle just rubb this salve into the skin for instant soothing Relief. A must have in any nature lovers bag!

Thank you so much! I have been foraging today and got stung whilst picking a plantain leaf, to show an old gentleman what they look like! I never saw the very tiny nettle next to it. So now, I am making your salve! I will make mine with half dock and half broad leaf plantain, because plantain is also a little miracle in helping with stinging nettles, as it draws the microscopic hairs out of the skin, which cause the actual sting. I never realised that it is the actual stalk of the dock plant that is the most useful for stings...I was always taught it was the leaf. No wonder it never really worked very well.... I love your videos so much. :)

[@AuthorBeckySusanAdams]

This is awesome! So helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make it 😊

[@sharfalor4244]

If you take this out on a warm day it will turn to liquid (melting point 76°F). Add some beeswax for a more stable salve or keep it in the fridge at home as the colder temperature will also be soothing.

[@debbiecurtis4021]

True. I add beeswax to mine.

[@LouMckinlay]

Hi, do you swap out the coconut oil for beeswax or just add some in? Really handy too !!!

[@sharfalor4244]

@@LouMckinlay keep the coconut oil in and add some beeswax.

[@edithdotson5617]

Nature can provide for everyone 's needs but not for everyone's greeds. So true. I like that. Thanks for the recipe. Bless the Lord, O, my soul. O Lord my God, Thou art very great... He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and HERBS for the service of man; that he may bring forth food out of the earth. Psalms 104:1,14

*Thank you for sharing this knowledge. Now my daughter will forage with me.*

[@user-mg7vn3dk2l]

Every summer I suffer from small blisters on my hands which are hot and itchy. Decided to try this to see if it would help soothe it as I don’t like using steroid cream. Not only does it soothe but it seems to be clearing it up.

[@tracyfield6930]

I have the same thing. Every summer I have blisters on my hands and arms. It's an allergy to the sun and I'm watching this video for that reason. Glad to know its helping you 😊

[@wisevirginsmedia]

Also good for horsefly bites

[@TheBeaver06]

Just made this today ! How fab is it and it eased my stinging straight away . I will carry it all the time now when foraging thank you both so so much xb

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Glad to hear you like it! 😁

[@edithcordero5816]

I love the way you present. Wonderful information. Thank u

Yes would love for you to do a video on drying out the yellow dock that’s what I’ve been having a problem with thank you for sharing

[@charlottevigneron727]

Thank you very much for this thoughtful video. Much appreciated !! 😊

[@roguereemerged]

This is now my 4th time watching, great video, Ty!

[@peterfrance702]

Ha ha! Reminds when I was a wee bairn making vials of dock juice for those nasty stings! Never thought to bind it with coconut. Great way of introducing herbs.

[@annabocking8824]

Wow thanks guys. Great video. ❤️

[@victoriadoughty1850]

Thanks Guys, this will be brilliant when I take my little Bearcub out to the woods or camping 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

[@loribrown8725]

Love your videos! So informative. Thank you!

[@christinaward161]

The docks around by me are still quite tiny,so as soon as they grow, i shall be making this, Thankyou!

[@MrTravis789]

I am in maryland, usa, and this is the fastest growing weed in town. It seems to leap up a foot tall overnight, especially with all the rain😂

[@jesicadelfin1099]

Thank you! Great recipe and easy!

[@fredriebel6176]

Enjoy the information. I was wondering if you could use Curly dock instead of broadleaf dock? I have an abundance of curly dock

[@lotusbrit9055]

Another lovely and usefull video! ❤

[@Peonyprashanti]

Can I use the smaller dock leaves as well?

[@moonbearsky9442]

Fantastic! I don't really get bothered by nettles anymore I'm so used to it but I'm wondering if it would work on other skin irritation or bites maybe? You've given me an idea to make some plantain balm using this method as well, I've got loads of those in the garden, thanks guys :)

[@Hayley-sl9lm]

Yeah maybe for sunburn I wonder?

[@bryansloesshillshomestead4523]

Thanks for sharing.

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Your welcome 🙂

[@thomasrodriguez4506]

Never though to make a balm of it. And always use the stalk to get that white juice to rub on the sting Now off to foraging some to make your balm. Thanks for it

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Enjoy!

[@vickielovesrandy]

You two are so cute❤. I’m wondering, is this only useful for beetle stings or for any sting?

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Any sting 🙂

[@tangirapatricia]

What do you ou do with the rest of the leaf you cut of?

[@watchmanknowledge4345]

Is there a substitute for the coconut?

[@grammydayao7581]

I thought you were making a bitter dock, then you said you're making Singing Stinging nettle, maybe I'm confused 😊

[@shirleywilson5959]

Just made 2 little pots ❤

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Awesome ✌❤

[@thahn11]

Can I use Patience Dock to make this Salve? 💚🌱🍃🌿

[@anastasia10017]

is this good for anything else ?? bug bites ? anything ?

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Anything that stings 😁

[@olushayotriumph]

*The LORD provides for everyone's needs but not everyone's greeds.* Ge 1:29-30 *And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. 30 “Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so.*

Amen scripture is soo true! God is Our Provider

[@Prairie_Gypsy]

I live in a state where broad-leaf dock doesn’t grow. Is there another remedy for nettle stings?

[@geeyah7278]

Plaintain leaf

[@geeyah7278]

The plant plaintain not the 🍌

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

What is the point? everywhere nettles grow, Dock leaves grow and you just rub it on fresh picked. I am actually dubious of the efficacy of Dock leaves and think its the distraction of finding one that does the trick.

[@BeverleyW]

Thank you so much .. another brilliant video. I'm going to get my teen daughter to help make some of this as part of our home education 🌿💚

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Awesome! A great home education lesson 😁

[@tay7366]

I made a salve from dandelion flowers and it stops arthritis pain as well as any nurofen these remedies really do work

[@evelyneself4938]

Neat, a quick way of making a soft balm, I hope you ate the sides you chopped off.

[@summerbreeze1955]

Thankyou. Would it be more beneficial to leave in the oil for a few weeks before straining?

[@grahamcarter7048]

Brilliant video and will definitely be making some of this for the first aid kit. Thank you.

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Enjoy!

[@beckykarson6306]

I have yellow dock in my yard. Is this the same dock you used? If not, would it work too?

[@chroniclesofgrandadrice1501]

Another brilliant Saturday morning watch 😊

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

😁

[@rickellyphillips9888]

The coconut oil will work on its own. Same as the leaf.

[@JolleenHayon]

Can you use this for mosquito bites?

[@cristiburris4343]

Does it help with just itchy skin ?

[@karenmills6459]

Brilliant thank you XXX

[@billiebee7940]

Amazing, can you substitute the coconut oil for anything else? I didn't know it was the stem that heald the sting, I have spent several years doing it wrong and loosing faith in them! My horses field is absolutely full of dock leaves, so shouldn't be too hard to find some

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

You can use bee or soya wax 😁

[@billiebee7940]

Ok thanks! I'll give it a go soon

[@Bumble.and.the.B]

Oh my goodness, my son and i got stung by the nettles in our garden a few days ago and it literally hurt me all day lol, i will be defo making this for us lol thanks so much ! X

Thanks! I have a ton of this in my yard, and it is non-native where I live so I'd love to use it for something while removing it (aside from chop & drop mulch). Can you do anything with the root?

Great I'll be making some of this today lovely simple recipie thank you

Is dock related to burdock and yellow dock?

[@TruthFrequencyNews]

This is great!

[@ahmelmahay]

great video guys thanks

[@ceelo3998]

My favorite part was the babies voice in the background. Well done. I wish for you both a glorious Chef's knife and a glass measuring cup. I think you'd enjoy two such items in your Home where your heart is.

Wow I made this today and then went to forage nettles for nettle cake , stung myself while out and it really does work , Could you use something else instead of coconut oil ? Xxx

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

You can make it into a balm with bee's wax 😁

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I made nettle and lemon cake with pineapple weed.

[@duncanbain561]

I followed your instructions but found that it set very hard, is this normal?

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Coconut oil gets harder the colder it is. Once it's out at room temperature a whole or when you rub your finger in the salve your body heat softens it 🙂

Apparently dock is just placebo... its plantain you need.
