Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this for post partum care and... ahem, it worked amazing at reducing swelling and speeding up the healing process. I wanted something that could be used as a gentle all purpose healing ointment for me and my baby after my lady area no longer needed it and it is very soothing stuff. All herbs added to it are actually what my midwife recommended as the best for perineal care. I have to warn any other fans of all natural healing though that this CANNOT be used as a nipple cream, used on open wounds, or placed somewhere on a child's body where they can lick it. That bummed me out since pot marigold is suppose to make a great nipple butter. Unfortunately the added St. Johns wort causes infants to be overly drowsy. Comfrey in it will destroy an adults liver if eaten or placed on a open wound for more than two months straight at a time. Infants have underdeveloped livers and one tragedy has already resulted in the past after a mother drank comfrey tea while pregnant. She took it without knowing the full effects of such a powerful herb and her newborn died from liver failure a month after their birth. Please, please, remember people, herbs are like taking medication. They need to be used the proper way with caution, at the proper times, with proper education.
