About Us

Deep in the northern forests of Canada in 1865, a salve was prepared by an Algonquin elder with the hope of saving a small toddler’s leg from amputation after a severe burn infection. That child was Joseph Piquette, the great-grandfather of Puremedy founder, Joni Siegel. Joseph carried that knowledge with him for life, teaching his children how to make this powerful salve. For over 150 years it has been carefully passed from one generation to the next- made by hand, shared with love, and used to help people when they need it most.  Today, and for more than 20 years, Joni has carried on the tradition.
