Pure-Heal Gel contains a carefully selected combination of well known
and respected traditional herbal remedies for promoting natural healing.
The soothing gel base and subtle lavender aroma also provide an
immediate comforting effect.
Like
all Native Remedies products, Pure-Heal Gel has been developed with care

the highest pharmaceutical standards. Individual ingredients are
well-researched and have been specially chosen for their high safety
profile in family health.
Ingredients of Pure-Heal Gel:
Pure-Heal Gel
contains the following carefully chosen herbal ingredients in
therapeutic combination:
Calendula Officinalis (Marigold) is one of
the best and most well known herbs for local skin problems. Calendula
will also promote the natural healing ability of the skin and help to
reduce scar formation by stimulating healthy skin and tissue
regeneration. These properties make Calendula an ideal topical skin
remedy.
Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) is
a well known herb which has been traditionally used for centuries by
Aboriginal Australians. The powerful healing and protective qualities of
Tea Tree are enhanced by its ability to penetrate the skin.
Lavandula Officinalis (Lavender) not only
imparts a beautiful, soothing fragrance, but will also promote healthy
circulation to the skin thereby enhancing the body’s natural healing
processes. In addition, the aromatherapy properties of Lavender will
also help to comfort and soothe the individual.
Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) has been used
as a medicinal herb for thousands of years in Ayurvedic, Chinese and
Indonesian traditions. Legend has it that an ancient Chinese herbalist
lived for more than 200 years as a result of using the herb and this has
led to Gotu Kola being called one of the “miracle elixirs of life”! Gotu
Kola contains compounds called triterpenoids which aid the natural
healing process by strengthening the skin, increasing the concentration
of anti-oxidants and maintaining healthy blood supply to the affected
area.
Aloe
Ferox (Aloe)
has been traditionally used in wound healing since ancient times. The
Egyptians were using Aloe as early as 1500BC. Aloe contains a number of
active compounds that have proven healing properties and an excellent
effect on skin health, growth and repair. It is not surprising that Aloe
has a history of being a common household remedy and is found in many
commercial skin care preparations!
These
herbal ingredients are combined in a soothing aromacare gel base.
How has Pure-Heal Gel
helped others?
“Pure-Clenz Solution (and Pure-Heal Gel are) the mainstay of my medicine
chest at home. Between my husband, a DIY enthusiast, our three children
and myself we must use (them) at least once every week in our family. It
is the only product that I ever use as it works fantastically. My
children love (Pure-Clenz) because it doesn’t sting ...... and it stops
the bleeding right away. We always use your Pure-Heal gel afterwards and
are thrilled with the way they work. So far no infections and no
scarring in our family!”
Bianca,
full time mom, MA
“Thank
you for your great products! I have just added Pure-Clenz and Pure-Heal
to my collection and I am so impressed with the way that they work. Keep
up with the great new products!”
Ms M
Timballe
“My
daughter and I both react terribly to any kind of insect bite and living
in Houston we get plenty. The bites always swell up, go all red and
itchy and we can’t help scratching. Both of us have scars on our arms
and legs - my daughter even has one on her face. I saw your website and
decided to try Pure-Clenz and Pure-Heal. The results were so amazing
that I just had to write in and tell you. I use them for everything and
Pure-Heal is great for those little burns and scalds in the kitchen
too.”
Jocelyn Wickham, TX

What do I need to know
about Burns?
Please note that
this information is offered for educational purposes only and is not
intended to be a substitute for professional medical attention. When in
doubt, please consult your health practitioner.
Burns are not
uncommon and most of experience minor burns at various points in our
life. Children can be particularly vulnerable to burns, especially in
the kitchen, as they do not always understand the consequences of their
actions. More serious burns can have devastating physical health and
psychological consequences. It is in all of our best interests to know
how to handle burns at home.
There are three
classifications of burns:
·
First-degree burns
– only the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) is burnt on the surface.
The skin is usually red with swelling and pain sometimes present.
First-degree burns can be treated as a minor burns unless they involve a
major joint or substantial portions of the feet, hands, face, groin or
buttocks.
·
Second-degree burns
– the epidermis has been burnt through and the dermis (second layer of
skin) is also burnt. The skin becomes intensely red and blotchy and
blisters develop. Second degree burns cause severe pain and swelling. If
they are less than 2-3 inches in diameter they can be treated as minor
burns. If the affected area is larger than this or involves the face,
hands, feet, buttock, groin or a major joint, you will need to seek
emergency medical help.
·
Third-degree burns
– these are the most serious burns and involve all layers of the skin
and possibly even underlying fat muscle and bone. These burns require
emergency medical attention and may be accompanied by smoke inhalation
and respiratory difficulties.
How do I treat minor
burns at home?
Minor burns, which
include first degree burns and second degree burns as specified above,
can be managed as follows at home:
-
Cool the burn
– hold the burnt area under cool running water for at least 5
minutes or until the pain subsides. If this impractical, then
immerse the burnt area in cold water. Cooling will reduce swelling
by conducting heat away from the skin. Do not put ice on the burn
– this can cause frostbite and further damage to the area. Do not
apply oil or butter to the area.
-
Don’t break
blisters
as this makes
the burn even more vulnerable to infection
-
Gentle
topical cleansers and healing gels
such as
Pure-Heal Gel can be of great value in promoting pain relief,
preventing infection and encouraging healthy healing
-
Cover the
burn
with a sterile gauze bandage wrapped loosely to avoid putting
pressure on the burn. This will keep the air off, reduce pain and
protect blistered skin from further damage and infection. Do not
use fluffy cotton wool which can further irritate the skin.
Minor burns
generally heal well with careful home management. Should you see any
signs of infection such as increased redness, pain and swelling or
oozing please seek medical attention. It can take up to a year before
the new skin of a healed burn is as “tough” as the rest of your skin so
it is important use sunscreen on the affected area.
What must I do for
major burns?
Major burns will
require emergency medical attention. These include second degree burns
that are larger then 2-3 inches in diameter and/or involve the hands,
face, feet, groin, buttocks or a major joint as well as all third degree
burns.
While you are
waiting for emergency medical assistance follow these steps:
·
Do
not remove burnt clothing
– leave clothes on but make sure victim is not in contact with any
burning or smoldering materials or exposed to heat and smoke
·
Do
not immerse severe large burns in cold water
as this could lead to shock
·
Check for circulation signs
including breathing, coughing, pulse or movement. If there is no
breathing or other signs of circulation begin CPR if you are able to do
so.
·
Cover the burnt area
with a cool, moist,
sterile bandage, cloth or towel
First Aid for
treating cuts and scrapes at home
Please note that
this information is offered for educational purposes only and is not
intended to be a substitute for professional medical attention. When in
doubt, please consult your health practitioner.
Most minor cuts and
scrapes can be effectively managed at home, but proper care is essential
to avoid infection and to promote healthy healing. Here are some
guidelines to help you care for simple wounds:
·
Wash up –
if at all possible wash and clean your hands thoroughly before dealing
with any open wounds. If you have any surgical gloves available wear
them. This will help to reduce the risk of introducing infection into
the wound.
·
Stop the bleeding
– this is the first step in wound care and most minor cuts don’t bleed
excessively and often stop on their own in time. If they don’t apply
gentle pressure to the wound with a clean cloth or bandage for 20-30
minutes. Don’t keep lifting the cloth as this may damage or dislodge the
clot that is forming and the bleeding could resume.
·
Clean the wound
– Scrub your hands well and then rinse the wound with plain clean water
to dislodge any infective particles that may be embedded in the wound.
Only use soap on the area around the wound as it may irritate the broken
tissue. You can use tweezers soaked in alcohol to remove obvious debris
stuck in the wound
·
Apply an antiseptic
such as Pure-Clenz, to the wound. This will clean the area of infectious
organisms and promote healthy healing
·
Cover the wound –
this will help to
keep harmful bacteria away from the open wound and will also make it
difficult to scratch and pick at the wound, all of which can introduce
infection. Don’t blow on the wound – this can introduce infection.
Covering wounds is especially useful for children – they love bandages
and plasters and it can stop them from picking at their injury. Remove
the covering once the wound has healed enough to make infection unlikely
as exposure to air will now aid healing
·
Change the dressing
whenever it gets
dirty or wet and at least once a day.
·
Deep wounds may need stitching.
If you cannot bring
the two edges together, the wound is very deep or there is protruding
muscle or fat please see your health care practitioner as stitches may
be required
·
Watch for signs of infection –
If you notice any redness, swelling or pus or feel any throbbing pain
please see your health care practitioner as the wound may be infected
When should I
consult my doctor?
While most cuts and
scrapes can be effectively dealt with at home there are occasions when
you will need to seek medical assistance. Here are some pointers:
·
Bleeding is not stopping
with continuous pressure or is profuse. Any blood loss that appears to
pump or come in spurts requires urgent medical attention as it may be
arterial
·
Cuts that go below the top layer of skin
and may require
stitching. In general the sooner the stitches are put in the lower the
risk of infection.
·
People with decreased immune system,
eg cancer patients
and those on long term cortisone medications, are more likely to develop
an infection and should seek medical care
·
Diabetics
are also more prone
to developing infections and should take extreme care in treating wounds
·
Puncture wounds,
eg from stepping on
a nail, can be extremely deep, introducing infection deep into the
tissues and even into the bone if they have penetrated far enough. Use
the same first aid tips as above, keeping the affected body part
elevated, and if you have any suspicions that bone may have been
penetrated or that there is infection please consult your doctor
·
High risk wounds
should be seen by a
doctor. These include animal and human bites, wounds with embedded
gravel, deep puncture wounds and wounds with ragged edges
·
The
elderly and those with vascular or circulatory problems
are also more prone
to infection and may need to seek medical care sooner rather than later
·
Any
injury near to the eye
should be evaluated
by your doctor
How will I know if
the wound is infected?
There are a number
of signs that a wound may be infected and these are some of the most
common ones that you might see:
·
Red, inflamed skin around the wound
·
The
area around the wound is swollen, warm to the touch
·
The
wound is becoming increasingly painful, often throbbing pain
·
The
wound begins to drain greenish or yellowish pus
Note:
Red streaking of the skin around the wound
can indicate that the infection has entered the lymphatic system. This
can be serious and you should seek prompt medical care.
