Comfrey is an herb that contains the healing agent allantoin and is used to treat skin irritations. Topical preparations made with comfrey infusions are known to speed the healing process of the skin.

Know your Tea Tree oil!

May 17th, 2007

Tea Tree Oil has been at the forefront of essential oil usage in the US for several decades, but its origins go back thousands of years!  Tea Tree Oil comes from the tree/plant Melalueca alterfolia, which grows in Australia.  Its closest ‘relatives’ would be eucalyptus trees and others that produce oils and resins known as terpenes.

But here’s the important stuff!  Tea Tree Oil is actually made up of many different (over 25 and counting!) fractions of volatile oils, including cineol and terpinol.  The Australian government actually regulates and grades Tea Tree Oil from medical and pharmaceutical grade down to a household use and industrial grade.  When you purchase Tea Tree Oil in a drug store or health food store or wherever, most of the time, you have no idea what grade that particular bottle of oil might be, simply because the US government does not regulate essential oils!

At Dr. Wacky’s, we use ONLY a medical grade Tea Tree Oil in all of our products, high in terpinol and low in cineol, allowing maximum penetration and soothing with little to no irritation that can occur with some forms of Tea Tree Oil.

Have any questions about Tea Tree Oil or other ingredients in Dr. Wacky’s products??  Just ask!!

Testimonial

April 30th, 2007

I went to my 40th high school reunion last night. Of course, I wanted the “tall and sexy look”, so to increase my 5′1″ to a whopping 5′4″ I wore some hot looking high heel “tramp” shoes. Needless to say, after dancing the night away, I could barely walk this morning.

I remembered your Oweee Muscle Rub (thank goodness) - the relief was almost instantaneous (and it cleared my sinuses, too). It really is some amazing stuff! I know you already are aware of that, but I just had to tell you thank you. I only needed one rub down, and my feet were comfortable all day.

Take care and thanks again!

Did You Know?

That your toothbrush can harbor the herpes virus for days, reinfecting you after the present cold sore heals? Well it can! Throw your toothbrush away when you notice your beginning to get the virus. If you still develop the cold sore, throw the toothbrush away after the blister develops. Once the cold sore has healed just replace your toothbrush again. Always use small tubes of toothpaste because toothpaste can transmit disease. Think how often that toothbrush comes into contact with the opening of the tube. Lastly keep your toothbrush in a dry area. The herpes virus loves moist cozy areas!
