Zack’s Tack has a new product that we produce in Malaysia. Introducing ZT Botanicals, a combination of Comfrey, Tea Tree and Lavender.
Comfrey was once commonly called Knitbone because of its amazing ability to heal broken bones and “knit” them back together again. The botanical name, Symphytum, means “to unite.” The incredible healing action this plant has on broken bones and wounds comes from a constituent contained in the leaf and root called allantoin. This compound is a cell proliferant which helps to regenerate wounded areas of the body and speed up new healthy cell growth. The plant is also excellent to use topically on sprains, pulled muscles, swellings and fractures. It is a wonderful first aid herb to have on hand.
The anti-inflammatory effect of Tea Tree Oil is well documented. It helps to soothe and relieve painful and irritated skin. It may also help to reduce redness and swelling.
In essential oil practices, Lavender is a multipurpose oil. It is purported to have anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antidepressant, antiseptic, antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, as well as antispasmodic, analgesic, detoxifying, hypotensive, and sedative effects.
We recommend ZT Botanicals for:
- Skin and fungal infections
- Dry skin and eczema
- Oily skin: one of the uses of tea tree oil is in reducing oiliness on the skin.
- Wounds and infections: the antiseptic and antibacterial properties in ZT Botanicals boost the healing properties of skin.
