Better than prescription cream

Posted by Helen on 15th May 2012

My toddler son had recurring impetigo-like sores on his bottom which medicated creams prescribed by our GP had failed to clear up properly. There were areas of blistering sores which were simply not responding to treatment and I knew my GP would prescribe even stronger medication I was not comfortable using if I took my son back. So decided to give the Herbfarmacy calendula & hypericum balm a try first. I applied the balm every time he had a nappy change in place of his zinc cream and prescription cream. After just a few applications the sore redness nad weeping was significantly reduced and after a few days his skin was completely healed.
I now use it whenever my young children have skin showing any signs of stress. It is wonderful to use as an overnight healer of sore, wind-chapped skin following outside play or for those little sore places that always appear on little childrens' faces when they have a cold.
This is a wonderful all-round healing balm to keep to hand!
