Burgess Lion Ointment 30g

Ordered this to help with a nasty deep splinter. Remember my mum having some when I was younger. Applied to site using a plaster and 2 days later the splinter was visible and I was able to remove. How does it do that? Fantastic!

Used this product years ago. Delighted to find again as it was great for cleaning out grazed skin etc

I got a splinter in my finger a week ago whilst gardening and I had not been able to get it out. I remembered my mother always used to swear by Lion ointment when we were kids. So I thought I would order some and give it a try as the wound was beginning to become infected. When it arrived I put some on where the splinter was and covered with a plaster. I left it for a few hours until I had my shower and removed the plaster and there was the splinter sat on top of my skin! The lion had drawn it right out, magic!

The tin states that it is antiseptic, but don't see any reference in the ingredients, it has no smell, but it did sooth the pain So we will see whether or not it contains any healing properties as time goes on. I was hoping that it would draw out the boil. Magnesium sulphate paste is best, but they seller expects the buyer to buy 2 pots (not practical for the ocassional boil) and is very expensive all of a sudden.

I always seem to get splinters in work or in the garden. Usually those little hard to see and get out splinters. This seems to do a great job at drawing them out. Used time and time again with good results.

Really effective at drawing splinters to the surface

Great to know you can still buy Lion Ointment as I've been using it for most of my life (50+) as did my parents and grandparents however, it's not the same as it was years ago. I'm still using a pot i have that must have had for 35+ years and yes, it still works! The new one doesn't smell much (the old one smells horrible :) ) and it's white instead of the ear-wax yellow it always was before. I'll wait to see whether it does the same job.

Very good used it years ago did no think you could still get it but Amazon have everything I could want came 2 days early very impressed
