FatherSir's magic lotion

Lanolin + tincture of balsam poplar

You use maybe a cup of lanolin for each few tablespoons of the tincture.

[livejournal.com profile] votania's feet have never been so healthy. Nothing she used to put on them to heal the horrible gaping cracks in them would work. This did. My mother used to use it for severe clay dehydration.

makes sense, I'm guessing votania had the same thing I had for years until I found someone in a metaphysics shop who identified it. It's actually a form of microbacterial infection that gets deep into the skin and is damn hard to get to fuck off. It turns the skin on the feet scaly and hard and it will crack and pit miserably. I've had every kind of modern medical cream, ointment, you name it for my feet, and what worked was a combination of tea tree oil, honey, ...drat, I can't remember the other two ingredients but like the balm of gilead, they were highly antiseptical and antimicrobacterial. I've know maybe 5 other people who have had the same thing, and didn't get it healed up until they went the herbalist route.

go figure.
