Skin problem? You can Bear it!

There are a few reasons many Indigenous people refer to Bears as our “Medicine Animal”. Centuries ago, we watched them prepare for winter and learned what foods were good in the colder weather to sustain us. When they returned after hibernation, we saw what plants were good to restore energy & strength. As one elder told it, “How do you know when you’ve picked enough Blueberries?”…”When the Bear shows up!”

Of course, here at The Bears Den, we are known for our healing salves – Minigan, Bear Oil & our exclusive Bear Salve!

Here is yet another example of how well these Bear fat based medicines help heal skin problems – in this case, psoriasis that was cleared up after only six days of using Bear Salve!
