Every family should have a tin of Watkins Petro Carbo Salve in their medicine chest, first-aid kit, purse, gym bag, and brief case. It relieves the pain and itching caused by minor cuts, burns and skin irritations, scrapes, hemorrhoids, and insect bites. It’s drawing properties will help remove splinters and stickers. Just put a dab on the splinter, cover with a band-aid, and the salve will draw the splinter out. This salve comes in a large tin for your medicine chest and a travel size for your pocket or purse.

What Watkins customers say:

My husband had cracks between his fingers and we spent a lot of  money trying to get them healed. We rubbed Petro Carbo Salve on the cracks and within one month his hands were completely healed and have not been a problem since.

I purchased Petro Carbo Salve about 20 years ago. I bought it for a drawing salve to use on my face. Over the years I have found many many uses for it and recommend it to everyone. They call me the salve pusher at work. I highly recommend it for minor burns. I once reached for a pot right out of the oven and I instantly went for the Petro Carbo Salve. I really didn’t think I was going to be able to use my hand thats how bad it burned. I didn’t end up with any blisters, and I believe its because I put the salve on it so quickly. I also use it on insect bites, it really does stop the
itching and bites go away alot quicker, mainly mosquito bites. Also, when my kids get scraps, paper cuts the salve is wonderful. I call it the miracle salve. My son has two boys, his family recently got stationed in Germany. The first package I mailed his family had the Petro Carbo Salve in it. That was a must with two boys. It took a while to locate the salve, it seems to be hard to come by. The only place I can seem to find it is at fairs. The one I had I gave to
my mother in law who used it on her face. Bacon grease splashed on her face. I think she believes its a miracle salve also.
