Summer Time is Ointment Season

Summer is the time when the need for ointment goes up, with sunburns, over worked muscles, bug bites, poison ivy and other rashes, etc. It is important to have a variety of ointments in your refrigerator so that you have them when you need them.

My all time favorite and top of the list is the Complete Tissue and Bone Ointment, a must have for every household. Great for sore muscles, joints and carpal tunnel. This ointment works at an amazing speed to increase the of healing of abrasions, blisters, burns, cuts, sprains, broken bones, etc. I use Complete Tissue and Bone ointment just about every day rubbing into my knees and hips. I like to use it on those little paper cuts that hurt so much. It will quickly heal sunburns and help regrow skin of third degree burned skin. Read burn stories here. This is the same formula as the massage oil with beeswax in it to make it an ointment. Available in 2 oz and 4 oz.

Cayenne Heat Ointment is a great one to put on over the Complete Tissue and Bone Ointment for sore muscles and joints. Be sure to wash your hands very well, as this stuff is potent and you don’t want it in sensitive areas. Available in 2 oz and 4 oz.

Comfrey Ointment is a great healing balm. It has been used to successfully treat Mulloscum where nothing else would work. Wonderful for itching, chapping, minor burns, abrasions, scrapes and bruises. Available in 2 oz./span>

Glandular Ointment and massage oil is used by my family more in the winter months, but can also be used any time of year when needed. It contains Mullein & Lobelia. Mullein is a specific herb to help assist the body with many glandular disorders. There are lymph nodes that swell on the neck, breast, groin, under arm, etc. and should swelling happen the Glandular Ointment or Massage Oil is the one to reach for. At home we add the essential oil blend X-Plague to the bottle and use it on the tonsil area when we feel a sore throat coming on. Put it on the thyroid area of the neck for thyroid disorders. Available in 2 oz.

Itch Ointment is Dr. Christopher’s Chickweed Ointment and is excellent for Eczema, Psoriasis and other skin infections, sores and burning itchy skin. Make a bath of chickweed tea to bathe in and then put the Itch Ointment on afterwards to enhance the healing.

Rash Ointment contains a blend of herbs for the pain, itching and inflammation of dry, scaly skin and burns. Commonly used for poison ivy, oak or sumac. A great one to pack for picnics and camping trips. Available in 2 oz.

Essential Skin Care and Comfrey Ointment

Essential Skin Care is back in stock and I’m sure there are a lot of people that will be very happy to hear that news. Essential Skin Care quickly became a favorite for many people including me. This skin cream is amazing to say the least, it is an all-natural,
nourishing blend of organic herbs and natural oils. People with skin problems have found Essential Skin Care to be very healing. I love to use it on my face and neck, it is so light and absorbs right in without feeling oily. Two sizes to choose from 4 oz, and 8 oz, available in Citrus Cream and Lavender Bliss scents.

Most of the skin care products available have ingredients that are harmful to the skin. Here’s a great link to learn more about toxic ingredients that are often used. Essential Skin Care ingredients are all natural nourishing herbs and oils.

Molluscum contagiosum is a viral disease that is very prevalent among preschoolers. This little virus is easily passed from child to child and even to adults. Several people have mentioned that their babies got it after using a public restroom changing tables. Molluscum is a viral skin infection that causes raised, pearl-like papules or nodules on the skin that look much like a wart. They spread quickly going from one bump to many in a short period of time. The medical community has had a difficult time treating Molluscum contagiosum, but a few years back when our sales of Comfrey Ointment started skyrocketing I emailed the customers to find out what they were using it for. Come to find out it was for the Molluscum virus, and I was able to determine that Comfrey Ointment has a 75% success rate. Comfrey Ointment is all natural, just Comfrey in a base of Olive Oil and Beeswax.
