This product helps soothe itchy, red, raw and irritated skin caused by allergies or infection, as well as help heal minor wounds, scrapes and insect stings. As an external spray, it works brilliantly with the Recover and Heal and Skin Care Remedy products, giving pooch both internal and external support. It can be used on its own too and provides relief from the symptoms of a wide range of conditions, including sunburn/damage, eczema, hot spots, minor burns and scalds and pressure sores. As an all-round skin healer, this spray is a handy addition to any first-aid kit.
Common skin conditions seen by veterinarians are varied and have many different causes, but incessant scratching, red, inflamed areas on the skin, flaking skin and/or hair loss are usually the signs you’ll notice first. Conditions include eczema, hot spots, rashes, mange, allergies and ringworm. Infections from poorly treated wounds are also common.
The most common causes of skin problems are allergies, infections or a lowered immune function.
Each 100 ml contains:
Name | Quantity |
Calendula officinalis herba (Marigold) extract |
1.07g |
Calendula is a European herb with a long history of healing all types of skin problems. It is classified as a ‘vulnerary’, i.e. wound healer, and has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antimicrobial (antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal) properties. It helps cuts, grazes, minor wounds, burns, scalds and bites to heal properly and helps to prevent infection. Calendula is a very gentle, non-toxic plant that can be used for a very wide variety of skin problems – rash, eczema, psoriasis, acne, irritated or inflamed patches of skin, dermatitis of all kinds, ringworm etc. Possibly also of use in alopecia (hair loss) in dogs (De Bairacli Levy 1985). It has a history of use as a wound-cleansing agent (Wynn & Fougere 2007). It has been used to help with sun damaged skin and with skin cancers. | |
Hypericum perforatum herba (St. John’s Wort) extract |
1.63g |
St John’s Wort is another herbal vulnerary with a long history of use for minor wounds and cuts, abrasions, burns and skin ulcers (Wynn & Fougere 2007). It is anti-inflammatory and promotes healing of wounds. It is useful as a mild painkiller and is especially good for injuries to the nerve rich areas such as the paws, nose and tail. May also help with viral eruptions such as herpes or shingles. Hypericum combines well with and potentiates the effect of Calendula – it was marketed as HYPERCALTM. | |
Symphytum officinale fol (Comfrey) extract |
0.98g |
Comfrey is one of the greatest wound healers in Western herbal medicine. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and promotes the healing of tissues; it literally ‘glues’ the tissues back together – even bones – and for this reason was known as ‘knitbone’. It contains allantoin which promotes cell division and therefore speeds repair of the skin. It is an important medicine for wounds of all kinds, bruises, blood blisters, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, burns, scalds etc. It soothes, moisturises and heals. It is cooling, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial (antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal). It has been used to stop bleeding. It has been used to heal ulcers of all kinds, including skin cancers. Comfrey contains potentially toxic (when ingested) pyrrolizidine alkaloids and for this reason internal use is not recommended anymore. These alkaloids are poorly absorbed through the skin and so Comfrey is considered safe for external application (Wynn & Fougere 2007). | |
Urtica dioica fol (Nettle) extract |
0.27g |
Nettle Leaf has strong soothing, anti-inflammatory effects. It is primarily included in this formula for the treatment of itching. It is also very good for burns and scalds and helps with bites and stings, particularly if they are itching. Nettle is very good for red, raised, itching skin eruptions such as allergic reactions, hives, bites and stings. Nettle can help stop bleeding. It can assist with the itching of any skin condition such as eczema or other dermatitis. | |
Glycyrrhiza glabra radix (Liquorice) tincture |
1.11g |
Liquorice root extract, when used topically is a strong anti-inflammatory and has antiviral effects. It has been investigated in atopic dermatitis (eczema) and been found to be effective in reducing redness, swelling and itching within 2 weeks of use (Saeedi 2003). Liquorice outperformed phenytoin cream in treating open skin wounds in rabbits (Arzi 2003). | |
Aloe ferox (Cape Aloe) leaf gel extract |
0.02g |
Aloe gel is soothing, cooling, anti-inflammatory, pain-killing (cf. Hypericum) and moisturising. It is a vulnerary which accelerates wound healing by stimulating the appropriate cells. It has been used for seborrhoeic dermatitis, fungal infection and pruritis ani (itchy bum). It is hydrating, insulating and protective. It can be used for burns, sunburn and pressure sores (as can Comfrey, Hypericum and Calendula). It can be used to treat resistant ulcers (cf. Symphytum, Calendula) and is also known for treating frostbite. Swain (1992) found that Aloe vera stimulated early wound healing in foot pad injury in Beagles. | |
