Yes, it is for sale - $12 for a 4 ounce tin, plus shipping. <br />It is wonderfully healing - we have gotten to where we use it on almost everything from animals to humans. I almost always keep a tin or jar if it in the milkroom for animals with cuts or scrapes, as well as for mastitis on my dairy goats. I even rub some on udders when I just want to increase milk production. It feels really good on my hands too.FourMileFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14439158857586689533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34683200.post-5355502998267138362009-06-09T15:10:42.264-05:002009-06-09T15:10:42.264-05:00Hi Kamardan, This is a salve that is thick enough ...Hi Kamardan, This is a salve that is thick enough to scoop some out on your fingertips, without it sliding off. <br />You can always remelt it and add a bit more beeswax until it reaches the thickness you like best. I like it to be thick enough that when I leave a jar of it out in the milkroom in the 95* heat it does not turn liquid. :o)FourMileFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14439158857586689533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34683200.post-56593321787611853032009-06-09T14:52:07.213-05:002009-06-09T14:52:07.213-05:00Is this a thick or thin salve?and is it for sale y...Is this a thick or thin salve?and is it for sale yet?I love the ingrediants!

You bring up a good point that I hadn't considered - not being a cat person myself. :o) (We do have two cats, and I like them! I just don't give them a whole lot of thought. lol)<BR/>I can see that labeling this stuff is going to be something that requires a lot of thought and research! I have used it with great success on my goats udders, and on a wound that one of the chickens had, and on people. But, havent tried it out on any other animals...<BR/>I see an increase in milk production every time I massage it into an udder. Plus it helps chapped udders. <BR/>Thank you!<BR/>RachelFourMileFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14439158857586689533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34683200.post-26118337636107477512009-03-01T10:27:00.000-06:002009-03-01T10:27:00.000-06:00Hi Stephanie!I do agree with you that it could be ...Hi Stephanie!<BR/>I do agree with you that it could be a problem and some sue happy person could come along and sue me.

I've always been hesitant to put any comfrey in a product that I SELL because of the concern of the wound not being thoroughly cleaned and closing too quickly. I guess I'm just thinking about liability too. Have you ever heard of that being a problem with anyone? I know I'm just usually overly cautious. : ) Very pretty salve.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573007407596911927noreply@blogger.com
