The Cramp, Pain & Dream Salve may be used for cramps, different types of pain and for dream work (to enhance dreaming, help with dream recall or lucid dreaming).

One of the herbs in it is Mugwort, which has antispasmodic, antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-fungal topical properties. It is a warming herb that can be used to improve circulation and help ease muscle and joint pain. It can be rubbed into the abdomen to relieve menstrual cramps and regulate the menstrual cycle. It can also be used on fungal skin infections and bug bites.

Another popular use of mugwort is as a dream enhancer and meditation herb. It may help people remember their dreams and may also lead to lucid dreaming. For that purpose, it should be rubbed onto the temples, the forehead and back of the neck. It can also be rubbed into the shoulders to relieve tension. Alternatively, it may be rubbed into the soles of the feet.

The other herbs are also pain-relieving for different types of pain, as well as calming.
