Studies have shown that plantain has anti-inflammatory effects, and is rich in tannin (which helps draw tissues together to stop bleeding) and allantoin (a compound that promotes healing of injured skin cells). PINE TAR: Pine tar has been used in medicine for more than 2000 years to treat a range of skin conditions because of its soothing and antiseptic properties. Traditionally used as an ointment and a cleanser. From soaps to ointments, pine tar is used to treat cuts, and dry weeping skin sores. GALBANUM: One of the perfumes employed in the preparation of the sacred incense. (Exodus 10:34) It acts in a vulnerary capacity, helping to heal wounds with its anti-inflammatory properties. BERGAMONT: This oil boasts of powerful antibacterial, analgesic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, and soothing effects and is used as a natural mosquito repellent and insect-bite remedy.
