Manuka Defense - Manuka Healing Balm

I was recommended this product by a friend that told me my scarring will be better and not itch as much well let me tell you that it is a great product and definitely helped me out for a few months with my scarring

Note: I'm not a doctor and don't play one on TV. Thus, this is not medical advice, etc., etc. A family member has had a continuing itchy skin condition for some time. They have seen dermatologists and had things prescribed, but nothing has gotten rid of it. So, simple relief in any form was the goal. We came across Balm of Gilead, and have been buying it for a few years now. After showering, it is applied and it controls the itch for 2-3 days. By the third day it needs another application. Again, it's not a cure, but low-cost relief...if applied regularly. We've used tea tree products for years and have had good results with them. This product is not overpowering in terms of fragrance, and is easy to put on. You don't need a lot of it. We've had a 2 oz. tin last from 2-3 months.

I can’t say for a fact that it is actively healing my skin, but I can say that I do like how it makes my skin look and feel. However, it does have a bit of a grainy texture to it. But it does melt into your skin. So once you get passed that, you should be fine. It also has a strong scent. I’m sure because of the ingredients. I just needed something to help with the skin abscess and it has been keeping it moisturized. As for healing, I’m not sure entirely. Still would recommend for dry skin if you want something more “natural”.

This stuff is amazing. I am blown away that there are not more reviews. I suffer from a plethora of skin issues - and have for over a decade. One of those issues happens to be a very painful, very itchy rash that will appear on the top of my hand during times of high stress. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING works to alleviate the rash. I have suffered with this rash for several years. I purchased this balm and I experienced almost immediate relief upon first use. A few weeks later of nightly use and the rash is completely gone! This is essentially a miracle considering that I’m one of the “lucky” people who never experiences beneficial effects from things like this; yet this stuff worked! Also, the lip balm keeps another stress related and very painful issue, that involves my lips, at bay! So far, this brand is amazing to say the least. I highly recommend for resistant skin issues.

Works amazing, makes my skin soft. I live in dry area with hard water so this has worked wonders

This product is great for burns, itchy bites and small injuries. I will buy it again.

Purchased this product twice and I use it to soften my feet. The bonus is that it also includes Manuka Honey which has helped with my diabetic neuropathy. A little goes a long way!

This is a great product. I take blood thinners so bruise easily. Not sure about the scientific explanation, but if I apply to the bruise it heals twice as fast. Also, the first sign of a cold sore on my lip, I apply to exterior of area and cold sore completely disappears by morning. Again, have no idea about explanation for such.

Ointment is okay. Didn’t really have any effect on excema which is why I bought it

Happy with this.
