This stuff is great. I live out in the country where I am always getting splinters and nasty insect bites. If you thickly apply it right after a bite, you can immediately feel the itching subside. With burns, the pain melts away. I even was able to expel a bad splinter overnight.

My family has been using Epsal Ointment (or as we affectionately call it "the white stuff") for about 25 years. Not only does it draw out splinters, it helps pimples heal faster! Sometimes it brings that irritating pimple that never seems to want to go away to a head. At other times, if it is a small blemish, it practically disappears over-night. Just put a glob on the spot and cover with a bandaid. We always have one to two jars in the house at any given time. My husband has always had acne problems since puberty. When I got him to try it, he took the jar and kept it in his night stand. I had to get another jar! It is so much better than the black, greasy icthamol that stains clothing.

Epsal ointment REALLY works! This is the first review I have written for any product. I had a cyst of my chin, it had been there for years. The cyst was getting bigger so I went to the dermatologist to have it removed. My doctor advised me to leave it alone. I asked about different methods I had heard online to try and he said they don't work. He said, if it really bothered me he would send me to a doctor more specialized in removing them near the face and neck area. I left the office frustrated, but wanted to think about more about having the procedure done. (doctor was afraid of scarring on my face.) I didn't do anything for a few months and then I was at my aunts house one day and she raved about Epsal Ointment for bee stings, burns, getting splinters out etc. I told her I was going to order a bottle and try on my cyst, hoping to 'draw' the stuff to the surface. Even my mother said it wouldn't work for a cyst. Well, it WORKED!! I put it on twice a day and after 4 days it came to a head and I squeezed nasty stuff out. I did this a little for 3 more days....it has now been 8 days and my cyst is completely gone. It was the size of a pea! My friend had a cyst removed from her neck last month and she paid $1500!! Please try this if you have a cyst, I am so glad I did!!

I have a grandson on the autism spectrum. This epsal has really helped his ticks by us applying it at night. I don't have any idea why epsom salt pulls the heavy metals out of his system allowing his brain to better process information, but it does.

This is not the intended use for the product but I am a believer.

I got this salve in an attempt to relieve my itchy scalp (dry and scaley). It was less expensive than the cream I have been getting at Macys, but still pretty pricy. It seems to help.

EPSAL SALVE: My mother swears by this stuff. She says it's the best for drawing out poison from bug bites and infections.

When I found out the active ingredient was Epsom Salts, I bought it in hopes of clearing up my acne and oily skin.

Not only did it clear up my acne but it absorbed my oil like a sponge. No more shiny skin and I don't have to wear any type of foundation!

The consistency may throw you for a loop. It's thick, feels kind of greasy and it doesn't spread well but you only need a little bit.

I was so pleased with this product, I bought two more for back up!

Oh and it's VERY cheap!

Splinters and thorns are not an everyday problem, but so far on the two we have had, this salve has had no effect and the offending sticker or splinter had to be removed with a needle. I will keep using it for a few more tries because I'm not sure we have given it a fair try yet, but so far, I'm disappointed.

I didn't think I would ever find a "drawing" salve even close to the old (what we called) Black Tar that my Grandmother had. This stuff works almost as well, and is a heck of a lot less messy and stinky.

Well it isn't exactly what they said it was. It is very oily and doesn't dry out , so how is it suppose to dry out the area you put it on? It just doesn't. Not happy with it really.
