Bag-Balm

Jaya, Any idea if this can also be used on the scalp or is it too greasy? does not have too many problem areas. His scalp is still very dry even after using the Aveeno shampoo. Belinda

Hello Everyone,

I received an e-mail the other night from someone who wanted to give

information about a product that is very good for eczema. She was

hesitant to post the information herself because she works for one of

the band companies and was afraid that her personal endorsement of

the product would be taken as an endorsement from the company that

she works for, which it is not. So I have agreed to post on her

behalf. As it turns out I know the product that she e-mailed me

about. The product is called Bag-Balm....way back when I was a child

I had goats and Bag-Balm was a wonderful product to use on the

chapped udders of milking does. Consequently, I found out for myself

the wonderful healing affect that it had on my own severely chapped

hands....I am one of those people that suffers from " winter itch " .

Here is what was e-mailed to me regarding this person's own personal

experience:

" My oldest daughter is now 19 and when she was a baby she used to get

eczema on her feet so bad that the skin would crack and bleed.

Sometimes it

would be so bad that the poor little thing could not even walk. I

remember

one day she was walking on her heels. It was terrible. My next door

neighbor at the time saw her and came over with a product that she

used on

her children. I started using it at night, putting it all over her

feet and

putting white socks on when she went to bed. Depending on how bad it

was at

the time, it would be gone within 2-3 days. When my 2nd daughter came

along, she would get diaper rash. I would put this on her and the

used

it for diaper rash, I asked my pediatrician if it was safe. He said

it was

and he was amazed at how many people had been asking about it. I

have 4

girls and used it on each of them , and still do for cuts dry skin

etc.

I don't know if people are still using it as much now or if it was

more

prevalent where I lived in Boston. I still buy it and use it to

this day.

I use it for everything , cuts, dry skin, chapped lips.- Its

Wonderful. Now

that I live in Florida, I have been finding it at WalMart. The name

of the

product is Bag-Balm. It comes in a square green can. The reason

that most

people have a problem with it is that on the outside of the can it

says for

veterinary use only. This was originally made for using on cows with

the

milking machines so there was no chapping. They do sell it now like I

said

at Walmart an d Walgreens, CVS, . The can usually costs around $5.00

at

Walmart.I hope that this information can be useful for someone. (or

everyone) "

Now she is right, this was a product that at one time you would buy

in feed stores....but I can also tell you most people that used it

for their livestock also used it on themselves...myself included as

well as several other people that I knew that kept goats. I have

been following the recommendations for dry skin carefully because

i has horribly dry skin. I have tried EVERYTHING...not even

Cortisone cream works. I plan on looking for Bag-Balm now that my

memory has been jarred and I remember how well it worked on my own

chapped, bleeding skin.

Happy New Year everyone!

Sincerely,

Jaya Dong

Do you know where in Wal-Mart to look for this Bag-Balm? Would it be in the Pharmacy/Beauty area or with pet supplies? I will definitely go look for it!
