Black Drawing Salve for Infection

Black drawing salve or black ointment is a mixture of strong herbs with drawing properties. Drawing salve has been around since your great grandmother's days. Multiple herb roots mix into an ointment such as Vaseline.

  1. Function

    • Black ointment, an alternative method to draw infection out from under the skin, is used for boils, bites, stings and even warts. The mixture of herbs is very powerful; caution should be taken with use.

    Time Frame

    • A very small dab is applied directly on top of the infected area only, and covered with a bandage. It must be kept dry and covered for three days.

    Identification

    • Herbal Mixture

      The black salve should contain herbs such as comfrey leaf, golden seal root, plantain root, marshmallow root and many more. Be aware that a small indentation may appear in the place of the infected area.

    Effects

    • You may feel a stinging on the skin or drawing when first applied. If drainage occurs, change the bandage but do not apply additional ointment.

    Considerations

    • Black drawing salve can be found in most herb markets or online. Only a few manufacturers, such as Nature Sunshine, make a product that actually works. The original formula is the best and can be made at home but will cost about $75.00 to do so.

    Warning

    • Do not get salve on surrounding area. Check the warnings on the label; some may contain beeswax and many people are allergic to products from bees. Consult a dermatologist about any suspicious-looking areas on the skin before using this product.
