I had these stubborn cracks on the heels of my feet that hurt and would not heal. I tried foot creams and butters but none of them worked. The other day I was in my natural health food store and saw this ointment called Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Ointment and Vitamin E. Therefore, I decided to get a jar and try some of the ointment on my cracked heels and to my surprise, it actually worked amazingly well.
The Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Ointment and Vitamin E comes in a small almost 2 ounce jar, but a little bit of this ointment goes along ways. The ointment is thick with a whitish appearance, but is not greasy. The natural ingredients in this ointment are vitamin E, paraffin, sodium sulfate, alcohol and tea tree oil and that is it. The ointment does have a tea tree oil like scent to it that I do not mind. However, some people strongly dislike the scent of tea tree oil.
Now before I apply the ointment to my cracked sore heels of my feet I like to soak my feet in a warm footbath made with 1 cup of oatmeal powder, ¼ cup of olive oil and ½ cup of Epsom salts. I find soaking my feet first helps soften my rough heels up and helps soothe my aches and pains away in my feet. After soaking my feet for about 30 minutes or so, I like to pat them dry and take about 2 tablespoons of the ointment and massage it directly into the heels of my feet really well focusing on the cracks. Then I place a pair of cotton socks over my feet to help protect them so they can heel sup better. So far, I have been soaking and rubbing ointment on my feet for about 2 weeks straight now every night and my cracked heels are almost healed up nicely. I am very pleased with how well this ointment has worked.
The other night I even used it on my cracked fingertips. My fingers become dry and cracked a lot because I paint and I type a lot and seem to be always using them for something. However, as soon as I applied the ointment to my fingertips, the cracks began healing up and by morning; my fingertips were all healed up.
I would highly recommend having the Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Ointment and Vitamin E on hand to help treat wounds and cracked heels and fingertips because it is working well for me. I do hope those of you who try this ointment get the same pleasing results.
