Burn Ointment
New 1/2 ounce size!
This ointment is for the topical treatment of burns and scalds. Based on a highly efficacious formula designed and researched at the Ping-yi County Chinese Medical Hospital in Henan,1 Bob Flaws has modified this formula using Chinese medicinals commonly available in the West with which Western practitioners are familiar. It incorporates the ingredients of Chen Shi-gong’s famous Ming dynasty Zi Cao Gao (Lithospermum Ointment) plus several more to make it even more specific and effective for burns and scalds.
