Amish Origins Draw Salve Ointment, 2 Ounce

This is an excellent product it drew out my cost painlessly over a couple of weeks

I really dislike leaving reviews because I fear that something that worked for myself did not for others or vise versa. But in this case I feel the product has by far excelled my expectations and very quickly too. Ive been suffering for around 6 weekf from drainage from an abcess after an ingrowing hair in my perenium,constantly sore and irratating even after antibiotics for two weeks.Id tried a few of the regular anti septic creams and gels but they barely calmed it down.So on pure hope I purchased this product after a quick look at Amazon and the next evening after showering I apllied a small amount before bed and a small dressing pad to cover and the next morning arose with ZERO pain and discomfort,so cleaned and re-dressed for work the next day and by the evening and even after a full days work the swelling had all but gone and very little discharge at all.Two days later and its absolutley done and dusted,no pain,discomfort,discharge and everything is great in my world again. For anyone who may consider purchasing this product I hope your results are as spectacular as mine.Happy and pain free new year people.

Drawing salve it’s working.It doesn’t work immediately of course, in my case it started to work after just over 24h. I was reapplying it roughly four to five times a day.It’s important to clean the skin with the warm water before each application and to apply medical dressing once drawing salve starts to work. The problem on my skin was sorted within a week. I hope this helps.

This really works, I had a troublesome long standing spot on my forehead that kept flaring up again and after just a day of using this, most of the gunk came out with ease. However, the scent is lovely but headache inducing. This may be less of a problem if using it elsewhere on the body, but if you're prone to headaches from essential oils then it's something to consider.

My husband had an infected cyst and surgery had been discussed but i used this product and the complete cyst came out in one piece very happy.

I've only just started using it but does seem good Just be aware the tin is tiny

does the trick worth the money

Extremely small tub, so barely lasts a few weeks of daily application. Despite constant correct daily or multiple times per day usage, I've seen absolutely no impact of reduction on any type of cysts or ingrown hair, no reduction in swelling, cyst size or bringing cyst to the surface. The only pro is that it's quite moisturising as its a wax/Vaseline type product, but for the actual intended purpose, totally useless!

I had a cyst on my upper inner thigh deep under the skin that was starting to give me grief. At first I figured it was something that would go away on its own, but it proceeded to get nearly 2 inches in length. I looked at other products, but they were pricey. Someone mentioned this so I checked it out. Application is pretty straight forward, put a thin layer on the cyst and then put a bandage over it so the ointment can work and prevent unnecessary friction. Do this twice a day after cleaning the area. Once in the morning, once before going to bed. The first week was uneventful for the most part, but I started feeling a slight cooling and tingling sensation. The second week of application, the cyst split in two and started draining. Week 3, it completely ruptured and was draining a lot more and required more cleaning and reapplication. A lot of irritation from week 2-3, but it means that it's working and moving the gunk to the surface and into the bandage. By the end of week 3, it's drained, sensitive and ready to start healing. It saved me a trip to the doctor and an expensive bill. Definitely recommend.

The best ever!!! I am so happy to have this! Oh the relief! I have hidradenitis suppurativa and someone from an hs connect support page recommended this. I was desperate fighting an cyst the size on an apple. I had been on multiple rounds of antibiotics and the cyst stopped going down in size. I ordered this and it was a miracle. At first when I put it on, I could feel the pain like needles. That is very common with hs cyst. This time, I could tell it was making a difference. It was painful the 1st time applying after that, it wasn't painful at it. It started decreasing the size within hours. I have been applying it multiple time a day and the cyst is getting dramatic smaller. It worked so well, I bought a 2nd one. For bug bites: my daughter swells and itches a lot from mosquito bites. We applied it once and I didn't hear anything more about her bites. I highly recommend having this on hand.

This is sorcery in a bottle/container. It actually does what it says. Had a boil that kept coming back. No matter what I did, I was able to get rid of it for a short while, and then it would return. The spot always had clothing rubbing on it, so that didn't help. On a whim, I searched online for something one night and got this as a recommendation. Best investment ever. It's not overnight magic. You need to re-apply it daily, ideally with some type of dressing, and after the boil/cyst or ingrown hair is gone, continue for another few days to make sure it gets to the root of the issue. For dressing, depending on the side of the affected area, use a band-aid, adhesive pad bandages, or make your own with some type of medical tape & gauze. Here’s my process: First, I clean the area with an alcohol pad or a cotton ball soaked in alcohol. Next, I apply some of the ointment directly to the troubled spot and also onto the center of the bandage pad. I follow this routine nightly, keeping it covered during the day. Each morning, I notice that the swelling decreases, and over time, the boil shrinks. Once it was gone, I continued the treatment for another three to four days, and just like that, the problem was resolved for good. I found that when I stopped using the product after the boil disappeared, it took longer to return, but it eventually did. So, the key is to keep applying it for a bit even after the area looks clear. While the jar is small, you don't need alot. And because it actually gets RID of the problem, you will find you don't need it after your problem is gone. At least until a new one pops up somewhere else.

I originally bought this product because my 4-year-old had a splinter in his foot. By the time I received it a few days later, the splinter had already been removed the "old fashioned" way with tweezers. But I kept the tin and put it in the First Aid Kit. A few weeks later, I ended up with a large number of bug bites on the back of my left arm and on my right ankle. In the last few years, I seem to have developed an allergy to certain bug bites, as they now seem to swell and itch more than they ever have before in my life. I even suffered an ice burn last summer after having been bit so bad that I put ice on a bite on my leg and when it finally went numb, I fell asleep with the ice on my leg, and the ice burned me. So obviously using ice was not a safe option for me anymore, so when I got my most recent bug bites, I remembered I had some of this in my First Aid Kit. I went ahead and tried it. I will absolutely tell you that it definitely stops itching instantly. My bug bites were itching so bad, I was scratching them until they bled and sometimes I would continue to scratch them with objects like a pencil or a nail file or even a Pumie Stone and no matter how bad I scratched them, they still itched, so I put some of this on it as an experiment, and it really does stop the itching and it really is instantly. My bug bites -- especially the ones on the back of my left arm -- were also really swollen like welts. I don't know if the welts went away because the salve made them stop itching so I stopped scratching them or because it has something in it to quell swelling or because it extracted the bug poison from my skin... all I can tell you is that it made me and my 2-and-a-half-year-old stop itching instantly. I am not sure that it draws or extracts things from the skin like it says. I honestly cannot tell. I do remember on one of my bites there was some clear fluid oozing out after I used it, but I've had that happen before from scratching it too much and the bite opens up and oozes, so I am not sure if it "drew" the bug poison out or if it was oozing because I couldn't stop scratching it before I applied the ointment. What I can tell you about bug bites -- which I THINK are mosquito bites, but I am not sure -- is this: It stops the itching, it reduces the swelling,and it does seem to speed up the overall healing time. Usually, I would have these bites for a week to a week and a half, and after using the ointment, a lot of the bites are all dried up, when usually, they'd still be like welts and very itchy. I also read some of the reviews after buying and using it, and some said to bandage or place a bandaid after you apply the ointment. I did not do that until tonight when a new bug bite appeared on my ankle and was itchy. So I applied the ointment and then a bandaid. That was only a few hours ago, so i am not sure on the draw-extraction factor, but I can for sure say it makes the itching stop. For the itch factor alone, I would buy this again. If I ever need to extract a splinter or something, I'll be sure to update this review and let you all know how it works. A lot of people mentioned smell in the reviews that I read. It does smell "menthol-y" or "medicated" almost like a very faint smell of A&D Diamper ointment or maybe like Selsun Blue or something like that, but it's not extremely offensive to the senses and it seems to be strongest when you've first opened the tin. As far as I am concerned, the smell is not a factor at all. So from what I can tell so far, it speeds up healing time and instantly stops itching. I will buy it again for sure.

I have been waiting to give this review until my cyst goes down completely but it’s gone down so dramatically that I think it’s good enough to share. I developed a ganglion cyst on my right thumb knuckle, my dominant hand. And it started hurting the moment it appeared. I’ve never got one before so I didn’t know what to do but it started growing fast. At first it started out small and bulbous. My thumb began to get more swollen and stiff and it hurt to bend it. It wasn’t long before I couldn’t open a bag of chips or use a lighter. And the pain was unbearable. I started to get concerned. I began reaching out to people on social media and doing research on what to do. I heard about castor oil packs so I ordered castor oil and a thumb pack (reusable bandage) and I began applying that multiple times a day. It was helping, but it was so slow. I felt like it was getting worse before it got better. Then I discovered this stuff. I read the reviews and I saw the results. There were photos of people with massive cysts that went down to almost nothing. I was amazed. Considering my options are to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars in doctors bills draining or surgically removing the cyst just to have it possibly come back I figured I should give this a try as well. I have been so anxious about the cost of removing the cyst considering everything that’s happening with insurance right now, and how much pain I have been in. I had made an appointment with the orthopedic doctor because it was getting so bad. Oh my god. I’m so glad I gave this a try. This stuff WORKS almost instantly. And it’s sooo cheap!! This saved me thousands of dollars. So what I do is I lather the cyst area in the salve. Then I take my castor oil and I place a glob of it on the bandage. Then I wrap my finger and I let it set. I reapply maybe 4 times a day. I sleep with the pack on my thumb. I have it wrapped constantly. After a few days I started to feel relief and the swelling go down. After a week I felt considerable progress. I was able to get some movement back in my thumb, you could start to see my thumb knuckle again. Now it’s been two weeks and I was able to postpone my appointment for another two weeks. I’m still watching it to make sure it doesn’t flare up again but with this Drawing salve I expect it to be completely gone in a few weeks. It’s made with all natural ingredients which just sets and a reminder that the earth has provided us everything we need to heal ourselves instead of bankrupting ourselves with medical bills. This country’s healthcare system is absolutely criminal. It should have NEVER been made into a FOR PROFIT system, we have corrupted ourselves and it comes at the cost of American people’s lives. I’m just so grateful this stuff works, I’m not gate keeping for anyone who is dealing with a cyst just try this stuff first before trying to remove it surgically. It seriously works. And it does take time. I apply it constantly to my thumb and I wrap it. I change the wrap daily and I apply the salve with castor oil. So consider that combo. I got my castor oil and the packs from Amazon too. The smell is not strong or anything, it just smells like balm. It is slimy and greasy yes, but that’s why I use the bandage to wrap it. Most importantly this has reduced the pain I have been in. It’s given me serious relief. My thumb was so stiff I could barely use it. It was disrupting my ability to function and I couldn’t stop using my hand or my thumb. I could barely text and now I am in so much less pain and I can use my hand generously now. I’m amazed at this stuff!! It worksssss!!! It’s so cheap too just please try this stuff out before getting your cyst removed. It has saved me so much money. My cyst is still going down it’s not completely gone yet but I am still using the Drawing Salve and Castor Oil Packs daily. I am about half way done with my bottle. It’s 2 oz and I apply it generously. I will buy another bottle if I need to and I am considering acupuncture if I need to! Don’t hesitate buy this stuff and watch your cyst go down!!
