Flower of Sulphur Soap and Powder

From what I have learned, this fabulous yellow powder is a real help to animals for all kinds of problems. It is safe to use and does no harm if ingested. It is a natural and pure product and readily available.
Flowers of Sulphur is used as a treatment for sweet itch, lice, mud fever, lice and fleas, mange & flea allergies, scabies to name a few. Also for cuts and abrasions, as it is known as being anti fungal and antiseptic.
I now use it on my pets as needed, dog, cats, and chickens! It can be put on wounds and it seems to help the healing process.

I put it on using a cotton wool ball, but others using it for larger animals such as Pigs and Horses, put it in a flour shaker, an old talc tin or use a large powder puff. Just put it on and the results are quite quick. It stops all itching and you can almost see the relief. You can put it on wounds, grazes etc too. Brilliant for animals and worth a try, I was impressed.
It even stops a gnat bite from itching!

You can of course use the powder, and it is in fact supposed to be very good for skin problems, itchy skin, rashes, dermatitis, psoriasis, but I have not used the powder on me so can't comment, I went straight to trying the glycerine soap bars.

There are two types available. An unfragranced for extremely sensitive skin, and this is also the one to use to wash your pets with, especially good for dogs who love to get messy but have very sensitive skin! Or, there is one designed just for humans, which is lightly fragranced with Rose, Geranium and Lavender. It is a glycerine soap which draws moisture from the air and thus helps keep the skin moist and supple, a necessary condition for the relief of problem skin. With excellent moisturising properties but no artificial moisturising or foaming ingredients.

They are large bars at 200g and last well. This is a link to the fragranced soap in Morgans Shop

Morgans have a blog with even more information, and will answer questions, they have been using and selling this for a long time so are well worth asking if you have a particular problem. I found the comments from customers very informative, people certainly have used this versatile powder and soap for many different things!

I wouldn't have thought to use it on my rescue chickens if I hadn't read the blog.

The little ones are off back to school after the Summer Holidays, and while mums and dads may breathe a little sigh of relief, that sigh could turn to a scream if they come home with little visitors (and I don't mean bringing their friends home for tea lol). We have all experienced it, the dreaded hunt through tangled hair, everyone upset, you clear it and it happens all over again.

They build a resistance to the harsh chemicals used to kill them, so it means either using the latest nasty chemical filled treatment, or, endless hours of combing.

Well, it has been suggested that using Flowers of Sulphur, and remember this is a totally natural product, no nasty chemicals on your childs scalp, could be used to treat head lice. The idea I think is to use the powder in the little ones hair, leave it in as long as possible, then comb it out. I don't have little ones any more, so have not tried this, but would be very interested to hear from anyone who has used this and if it worked well, and can honestly say if I did still have little ones I would give this a try. I don't think the soap would be as effective as the powder, but this is only a guess, and if anyone does try the soap for the treatment of head lice it would be lovely to hear the results.

I took a look at the Ebay module, as suggested by my Squid Greeter in the comments section, and while looking noticed a Google Blog Search. This looked very interesting, so I added it, and then noticed that the blogs were mainly about the use of Flowers of Sulphur with plants! I felt this deserved a mention of its own as a use for this mineral powder.

Apparently it is used to store bulbs over winter, and can even be used to treat ant nests! People use it to treat Thrip and other bugs and fungal infections that attack plants. Those blogs make very interesting reading for gardeners, especially those who want to reduce the use of nasty chemicals!

Those who like to keep their lawn looking like a bowling green need to read the blog called natural lawn care, I shall certainly be giving this a try come spring, my wayward lawn needs some serious help and I have too many animals in my family to risk using chemicals.
