A friend of mine bought this several years back in Hawaii, and relied on it for all sorts, cuts, scrapes, bruises, bites and stings. Her daughter had terrible eczema when younger and if an area became really inflammed or the skin broken would use this and it appeared to settle down and heal very quickly. I was on holiday with my friend, whilst walking barefooted I stood on a wasp! Very painful I can tell you. I applied her 'magic' ointment and it was soothed within minutes of application. I have since purchased my own 'magic' ointment. If any of my children get a cut or scrape they will always ask for 'Dr Burt's' and it soothes them quickly too. Don't be put off by the dark green colour it smells fabulous - like lavender. Would recommend.
