While ichthammol is not technically an herb, it is of natural origin and our version of this drawing ointment incorporates pine tar. Our ichthammol and pine tar drawing salve is just like the old-tyme product everyone has so many fond memories of and it is amazing as a drawing salve to help draw things from the skin. We started making this ichthammol for people but it can also be used on pets.
Ichthammol is manufactured through distillation of shale oil and as such it has a really strong odor of tar. There are many products claiming to be ichthammol on the market today, but many are actually counterfeits from China that consist of soy. If it doesn't smell like tar, it is not ichthammol.
We also incorporate sheep's lanolin for for its wonderful moisturizing qualities.
Due to the handmade nature of this product, colors and scent may vary slightly from batch to batch.
