Veterinarian-Formulated MeliHeal All Purpose Healing Salve™ Now Available for Purchase Online

Oct. 15, 2009 - PRLog -- Just in time for cold weather, MeliHeal All Purpose Healing Salve™ is available for purchase directly from www.MeliHeal.com.

With a unique blend of honey—an ancient remedy for the treatment of infected wounds—and natural healing ingredients, MeliHeal helps prevent infection, repair damaged tissue and encourage skin growth. It has proven an effective treatment for a wide range of equine ailments—from skin infections and allergic reactions to catastrophic wounds and soft-tissue injuries.

MeliHeal is particularly effective against common injuries and conditions that afflict horses during the fall and winter months, including:

• Rain rot (“rain scald”), one of the most common skin infections seen in horses, particularly in periods of wet, cloudy weather during fall or a mild winter

• Highly contagious fungal infection ringworm, also common during the winter months, when animals are stabled

• The scrapes and scratches that go hand-in-hand with wintry conditions

• Frostbite, which can cause tissue loss and scarring

“When I acquired my foal as a rescue, she was three weeks old. Both of her ears had been frostbitten and were quite sore. Applying MeliHeal once every evening encouraged the ears to heal and hair to grow back. Now, five months later, her ears are completely healed and there are no scars,” says Kim Myers of Frederick County, VA.

MeliHeal is made up of three primary ingredients—natural lanolin, honey and a proprietary blend of essential oils. Used since ancient times to treat open wounds, honey (“Meli” in Greek) is a natural anti-bacterial. The lanolin softens tissue, keeping it supple and moist to promote healthy healing, and is important for the re-growth of hair. The essential oils increase circulation to the wound, reduce swelling and contain vitamin E, vital in promoting healthy tissue re-growth—not brittle scar tissue or “proud flesh.”
