Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I used to use Hydrogen Peroxide too but not for about 25 years now. When I started learning about Homeopathy, I learned about Calendula ointment and have used it on all of my 5 kids for all wounds! It has natural antibiotics and works amazingly well. You can also use tincture in a compress if you want and I have done that when I really wanted to keep it medicated but breathing a little more. for the most part, the ointment is miraculous!! It used to be used after surgery too but that was before the AMA was formed and the pharmaceutical industry started their marketing campaigns! I remember reading papers comparing Calendula to the junk that they used back in the 40's or so and Calendula worked best! Mavis In a message dated 11/4/2008 8:34:50 A.M.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Most health food stores and some grocery stores that have a natural section like Shaw's here in Ma. You can also buy online . There is a link to purchase on first search item here as well as more information about it on the other links. Just be sure to get the ointment because it does not burn whereas the gel and cream seem to me to be more prone to for most things that I use it for. I have some that a friend made for me years ago using un petroleum jelly as the base and it still works great. Made from the petals of the Calendula or Pot Marigold! _http://www.google.com/search?q=calendula+ointment & ie=utf-8 & oe=utf-8 & aq=t & rls= org.mozilla:en-US:official & client=firefox-a_ (http://www.google.com/search?q=calendula+ointment & ie=utf-8 & oe=utf-8 & aq=t & rls=or\ g.mozilla:en-US:official & client =firefox-a) In a message dated 11/4/2008 8:51:07 A.M.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yes, I would go for the tincture. YOu want to keep it breathing, like you said.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Calendula is made from marigolds. Good for skin. Also the mother tincture combination of hypericum and calendula, known as Hypercal is very beneficial.. They would be available from most health food stores or from a dispensing homoeopath. > I used to use Hydrogen Peroxide too but not for about 25 years now. > When I > started learning about Homeopathy, I learned about Calendula > ointment and > have used it on all of my 5 kids for all wounds!

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Can I just add a slight warning about using calendula for wounds here? Calendula heals a wound from the inside out and does so very quickly, so if you are using it for wound care, make absolutely sure that the wound is clean, otherwise the surface could heal and dirt could remain underneath. Hypercalendula " , the blend that Maracuja mentions below is much safer, imo. In addition, the alcohol that is present in the mother tincture will help keep everything clean.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 We found the hypercal especially good for large abrasions (sometimes an entire buttock or thigh!) as we had 2 skateboarders, one of whom also cycled.. I used to get phone calls from the cyclist from various places within a 100 km radius as he was doing about 800kms per week. He used to say things like, " Mum, I'm just going in for Xrays. " He carried Vit C with him after a bee sting and it was great to have just before Xrays. he never had tetanus jabs though. From age 14 on it was HIS decision not to. All I had left to do was go pick up the mangled bike & rider and spend the next week debriding wounds!
