Pamela,
as a follow up to the bizzare scratches remedy I posted yesterday,(very
non-herbal :]), and as a good after-care wound ointment, I really like a
product called Trainer's Formula. Has Emu oil listed as one of the main
ingedients. It smells really odd, and will last all day on your hands unless
you use gloves.
I had a horse that got really tangeled up in barb wire out on the trail, and
had some horrific wounds. After the the about 8 days of regular cleaning and
bandaging in standing wraps, the wounds were scabbing nicely and no longer
oozing and draining. I applied this stuff 2x day. He almost looks as good as
new, no hair loss, just some raised welts from the scarring.
Another herbal wound remedy I like to use is calendula oil or gel. I make my
own topical gels of calendula and arnica by getting generic lubricating
jelly and mixing in a few drops of tincture. Can also be put in a small
spray bottle w/ distilled water.
BTW, there is an ointment that has a steroid in it, Panalog, that also works
very well on scratches, but I was told to only use it with DMSO.
