Thank you for taking your time to visit us.  People in my life had some very specific health issues that I wanted to help them address. During this process I found a passion in how herbs can help the body heal itself. Finally I reached a point where I could no longer afford to just give my salves away without marketing some to defray the costs.

    The name for this little company came about when a friend was caught in an explosion in the foundry he worked at. His lower body was burned extensivily and the medical profession did well on most of it. However there were areas on his ankles and feet that would not heal in spite of Western Medicines best efforts. I had just finished development of my first salve, the Original, for my Sister who is Diabetic so I gave he and his wife some to try. As I was driving long haul truck (it afforded a lot of time to research) at the time I did not see them for about a month. Upon returning a month later his wife shouted out while I was still across the room "I need more of that Green Stuff". Several years later when I was searching for a name to call my little company that phrase kept popping up in my mind. Hence a name was found, so now let me introduce you to how That Green Stuff and each of its products came about.

    

♦     That Green Stuff Original was developed after watching people around me lose limbs to wounds that would not heal due to diabetes. This salve is very antiseptic and was designed to help with tissue healing on both a deep tissue and outer skin level. Since its introduction it has been used successfully on insect bites, diaper rash, burns, mole removal, hand and feet cracking, and even a man with lung cancer taking an experimental drug to stop cellular regrowth. To heal scratches and superficial wounds on his hands and feet became an issue that this salve seemed to offer great relief. So if you are a slow healer this is the salve you would use.

♦   That Green Stuff for Psoriasis was discovered during development of the Original and is still used by a very good friend who suffers from this condition and help graciously in my research of this product. Since then I have had people who suffer with large areas of psoriasis test and endorse this salve for me. Performance has exceeded the Rx salve prescribed by doctors to my friend. After three days the small areas he has were healed and the larger ones took about two weeks.

♦    That Green Stuff for Arthritis is made up of two basic healing herbs with one a deep tissue healer. The remaining herbs were selected for their anti-inflammatory actions. Twenty minutes seems to be the average time until relief is felt and duration seems to be approximately four hours. If your pain is not caused by inflammation this salve will not be very effective for you. It will still help heal wounds.

♦   That Green Stuff for Shingles was requested by a friend who suffers often from this afliction. Shingles is caused by the Herpes Zoster virus and it remains dormant in nerve tissue until provoked by stress. Breakouts can be very painful and last for as much as two years in some. There is an almost immediate relief of symptoms and with repeated use the antiviral herbs in this salve will help shorten the duration of attack as well as help heal the surface sores that can occur. Being antiviral this salve has been effective with Cold Sores and Genital Herpes lesions as well.

♦  That Green Stuff for Pets is the same basic formulation as the Original and has the same healing properties. Friends who use it on animals wanted me to provide a jar with its own label so they could keep it separate from their other jars. They were the first to use it when their small dog had an open, infected and draining sore develop where his collar rubbed. They used it and within three days it had closed, not infected and covered with new skin.

♦  That Green Stuff for Tattoo's is developed for the rapid healing and reduced scarring of your new artwork. Tested by friends who like tattoo's with input from Tattoo artists the response has been refreshing. It is Color Safe and I have been told it works much better and faster than the current popular brands available at less cost.

♦    That Green Stuff for FireAnts is a new one and still in the  testing phase. It was requested by someone in Florida that worked for the parks department.  We do not have much of an issue here in Idaho as yet so it has been hard to test. Please send in your contact information and I will select people to test it for me. I hate to ask someone to intentionally suffer pain but if you are in a industry or area where bites are a way of life the feedback would be greatly appreciated. To heal the sores is not an issue but one ingredient should disable the venom responsible for the pain.

     The majority of this site is to help people interested in dealing with disease in a more natural way. Please feel free to browse at leisure the sections on disease and disorders and the Folk and Herbal Remedies used to treat them. Being mostly a researcher myself I am aware of the hours spent just finding which herbs are used. Hopefully this will speed your search and lessen the wasted hours. You will find help on the Useful Links page to databases and learning sites as well as a few on the Wisdom & Humor page just to help you laugh or ponder.
