Review (5/5): Great for all kinds of things
A loooong time ago, my new roommate in college was unpacking her things and out popped a can of Dr. Naylor's Udder Balm, which she set up on her dresser. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but the distinctive red and yellow can caught my eye and I read what it said. Udder balm? What the heck do you use Udder Balm for??? Everything. ????? I began to wonder what kind of roommate I had. Turns out her grandparents lived on a farm and it is used for chapped cow teats. Yup, really. They also used it for pretty much everything else. Chapped, lips, irritated nose from a cold, scrapes and cuts. The stuff is amazing. When we left for winter break, I asked her to bring me back a can. I still actually have that first can, dated 1982, because Udder Balm holds a special place in my heart. Since then I have used it for all kinds of things with my family. if you have a bad cold and have been blowing your nose a lot, you end up with a very sore, chapped and irritated nose that can take many days to heal. A little Udder Balm before you go to sleep and the next morning the skin feels almost completely better. Same for chapped lips. I actually use it each night before I go to sleep and I can't even tell you the last time I had chapped lips, Now, I will caution, on chapped skin it may sting at first, but that stops after about a minute or so. We dab some on the gauze side of a band-aid for cuts. It's great for chapped hands. If you are coloring your hair, you can use some around the hairline and ears to create a barrier and keep the dye from staining your skin. There are many uses, and a little bit goes a long way. I was a little disappointed when I got this from Amazon the first time because the ingredient list was different from the original can, and I was concerned it wouldn't work as well. But it does, and I am thrilled.
