Guest guest Posted November 25, 2001 Report Share Posted November 25, 2001 Doc, I have a few questions if you don't mind. Of course I appreciate input from anyone else as well so please don't hesitate. I am trying to make a drawing/healing/anti-itch/anti-inflammatory ointment. On page 354 in School for Natural Healing, there is a recipe for an ointment that sounds excellent. Unfortunately I need to make it right now (in fact it's in the oven already, but still would like your thoughts/additions), and don't have the ingredients. These are the ingredients (without directions) for the ointment in the book: 3 quarts mutton tallow 2 oz chickweed herb 2 oz comfrey root 2 oz marshmallow root 2 oz goldenseal root 2 oz lobelia herb w/seed 2 oz Kino (when possible) 1 oz Poke Root 2lbs beeswax 6 oz olive oil 2 ounces wheat germ oil 1 pint pine tar A question, can I use something besides mutton tallow (or animal prods)? This is what I ended up doing. As of yet I have not been able to find lobelia or goldenseal, and I need to get out and hunt for chickweed (seems like that's the one i really need!). 4oz marshmallow root (dried) 4oz burdock root (dried) 8oz comfrey (dried) Enough oil to cover thoroughly - about 4 parts olive oil, 1 part wheat germ oil. Cook in the oven for 2-3 hours at 82 degrees centigrade. When it's done cooking I will strain and melt a couple of oz of beeswax. I immagine this will be somewhat effective, but can you give me an idea about how effective compared to doc christopher's recipe above for example? for the drawing/healing/anti-itch/anti-inflammatory effects? The person who will be using it itches all over with pain and minor swelling accompanying due to what we think is a release of toxins through the skin as she has been juice fasting and cancer attacking for several months now. We would also like to put it on a cancer growth that seems to be coming out quite nicely on it's own anyway (just not fast enough). I thought about adding cayenne, but wasn't sure how that would go over since she already has a burning sensation all over. What do you think? Thanks so much for your time responders.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2001 Report Share Posted November 25, 2001 Ok, now the ointment is done - how exciting! anyway, i have all these roots leftover, and they don't seem at all fully drained of their properties. I can smell them strongly for example. You think I can use them over again in one way or another instead of tossing them away? herbal remedies, thessabelcher@h... wrote: > Doc, I have a few questions if you don't mind.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2001 Report Share Posted November 28, 2001 Dear Thessa, First off, I wouldn't use cayenne in this mixture. You have Lobelia in it which will bring down the itching and calm the skin. The cayenne would be used if you were trying to heat it up and it sounds as if it is too hot already. This formula looks as if it would be dynamite (Never made it or used it myself), and should do the trick for your friend. Like you, I also question the use of Mutton tallow and would use a combination of Organic Olive Oil and Bees Wax, in a larger quantity than what is proposed to make up the difference. This formula should handle the itching almost immediately. Since you are missing a few of the items, and are having a problem getting them, I'd use Slippery Elm Bark Powder in their place. Slippery Elm Bark is very mucilaginous and by itself could handle the condition. It is very soothing. If you are planning on using it on a cancerous growth, then make sure you add enough Poke Root, Chaparral, and Red Clover Blossoms. These are the 3 top cancer fighting herbs. My Total Draw Poultice Powder Formula (in the files) would also do the trick with the cancerous growth and is simpler to make. However, this requires Pharmaceutical Grade DMSO which may be very hard to find over in Italia ??? Whatever, don't let the lack of an ingredient or two stop you. Go with what you have and I think you'll come out OK. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2001 Report Share Posted December 1, 2001 Doc, thanks so much for the pointers. My off the hip ointment worked pretty well to relieve the itching and dryness, but the swelling still remains. I can't seem to find the recipe for the poultice powder that contains DMSO (only the melanoma recipe). Would you be so kind as to point me to it? thanks thessa herbal remedies, " Ian Shillington N.D.
