Time-tested remedy for over 140 years  Generations of families have been using Dr. Sayman’s Healing Salve since it was first formulated in 1877. To stand the test of time, it clearly had to be made by someone ahead of his time. Dr. Thomas M. Sayman, considered one of the first medicinal pioneers, created the effective extract, combined with other trusted ingredients. Sayman left home at age 9 to join the circus (P.T. Barnum), after which he got the opportunity to attend medical college at age 18. His curiosity about healing products drove him around the country in search of the hidden virtues of Native American herbs. He later opened the T.M. Sayman Products Company as a result.
