“I’ve been using Watkins Petro-Carbo Salve for cold sores for several years.1 I have gone from having outbreaks monthly and sometimes more often, to two outbreaks for the entire year last year, and no outbreaks this year. Before I started using Watkins Petro-Carbo Salve, my doctor had given me a prescription for a salve that cost $85, and it did nothing for me.Watkins Petro-Carbo Salve is the most soothing, healing and economical salve I have ever used. I’m so thankful to Watkins, and I have been telling everyone about your salve!”

Aloe Vera for Oral Health

New reports published in the January/February issue of General Dentistry show that the aloe vera plant, used to heal skin for more than 2,000 years, can also treat many oral health problems, including canker sores, cold sores, herpes simplex type 1 virus, lichen planus, and gum disease such as gingivitis.
Researchers suggest that aloe vera accelerates healing and reduces pain associated with canker sores and blisters on the lips and mouth and could be a very inexpensive alternative remedy.

Author Richard L.Wynn discusses a study done on a patient with lichen planus, a disease affecting the skin and oral mucus membranes. The patient drank 2 ounces of aloe vera juice daily and topically applied aloe vera to the lips. The oral lesions cleared up in four weeks and complete success was achieved. Dr.Wynn cited the study as showing that oral health problems can be treated with aloe vera.

"Aloe Vera can be taken both as the aloe vera juice and aloe vera gel. These are the two modes of
delivery recognized by the FDA," said Dr.Wynn.

Watkins Aloe Vera Juice is 99.7% pure, cold-processed and stabilized. For the greatest benefits,
drink at least 2 ounces of Watkins Aloe Vera Juice daily.

Consult your physician before taking any dietary supplements.
