Have used this for years. It is a wonderful product.
I've been using this salve for thirty years, following new manufacturers. I always have one at home and two in my purse – for myself and for a friend in need – as an impromptu gift. Abrasions, bug bites, burns, bruises, and more – this salve heals everything in no time! Highly recommend!!!
I just received my latest order of Olive ReLeaf Herbal Salve (formerly Balm of Gilead). It's now 23+ years and counting, having become a necessary staple to keep my dry skin in check (though I also use it on cuts, abrasions, poison ivy, etc.). However I use it, it does the job. By the way, I only gave it 4 stars on value and price because of the past switch from the larger jar to the smaller jar, requiring me to order 10 to 12 small jars at each order. On the other hand, the value of the salve itself is immeasurable!
I can't say enough about this product. It's magical. It has been relieving my dry skin for over 20 years. And it helps to heal minor burns, scrapes and cuts.
I think it works alright. Tried it with bunch of other products at the same time so not really sure what worked better than the other or if they just work all together. In any case my face has gotten a lot better much sooner than expected after having a real bad reaction to whatever it was I put on my face before. Will probably try out the other herbal salves.
I have very dry and cracked cuticles this salve is unbelievable! Has brought my cuticles back to life!
Over 20 years ago, I suffered from very dry skin on the bottoms of my feet, to the point the skin was cracking and it hurt to walk. I saw several dermatologists with limited success. A co-worker recommended Balm of Gilead, which cleared up my feet, and the rest is history. I continue to use it on my feet, as well as other areas prone to dry skin, especially my face. It became a necessity a long time ago. When Balm of Gilead disappeared, I had a panic attack, but it was only a name change. It used to come in a large jar. I use a lot, and now have to buy 10 or more of the small jars every couple of months. A small price to pay for relief from dry, itchy skin.
Cuts, stings, cracked skin, infected scratches..... always works.
BEDSORES!!! I took care of a friend while she lay bedridden slowly dying from cancer. She'd have new red areas that were the beginning of infected BEDSORES. This salve cleared them up over night. I learned to put the salve on any area beginning to go pink and never had a problem. It's a Blessing!!
My family had this when I was a child when the company produced it as balm of Gilead. Now 30 yrs later I still use it as my number one remedy raising five energetic children. Works on any wound or rash but it is unmatched for bruises. If applied often it keeps them from discoloring! I hope they never discontinue.
I feel like this salve is a little pot of gold! I work on a farm and at an animal hospital, so scratches and cuts are pretty much a constant for me. I've never found a product that works as well or as fast as this one does. I'm so happy to have found this, and I will definitely be recommending this product to lots of friends!
This salve is magical! I have a bad bacon grease burn on my wrist and was fortunate to have this salve on hand. It stopped most of the burn from blistering and even more amazing, I have no pain. Would highly recommend this product to all my family and friends.
This stuff is amazing! I use it like an herbal Neosporin On my families cuts, scrapes, burns, rashes, and all sorts of skin issues.
All the skin issues I mentioned above get better so quickly...even an overnight improvement can be seen with this salve.
I first got it as a gift from my sister and law, and it has been one of my best first aid remedies for years now.
I have tried other salves with Balm of Gilead in them but they do not work as nicely as this one.
I highly recommend it!
