Awesome Product of the Day: #3

Another favorite of mine is an ointment that is not only inexpensive, but combats fungus really well! On top of that, it is all natural and made by a small company in California by Georgette Topakas. She is extremely kind and is always happy to help if you have any questions.

Got hard to treat fungus, rain-rot, scratches? Try this! It's worked better than any other anti-fungal treatment that I have ever tried. I wouldn't recommend it if I didn't love it! For some odd reason, both of my boys love the smell of this too. They actually sniff in the jar for a while. Very funny!

Zephyr's Garden Anti-Fungal Salve

Georgette's Facebook page for Zephyr's garden is here and she usually offers a first time customer discount and posts great articles and info on barefoot horses, holistic care, and natural solutions. If you go to her notes page, she has some great tips for natural horse care and great articles about allergies and getting rid of fungus if it's REALLY bad.

Do not be fooled, 4 oz goes a LONG way! I bought my first jar in June of 2011 when I was battling some pretty intense scratches on Romeo. They clear up very quickly and since he lives down in Mississippi, I just make sure to get his legs very clean at least once a week and apply this to areas that look like they might get a little fungus-y. I still have over half a jar left!

Product description:
Sick of treating Rain Rot, Scratches, ring worm, and dermatitis with products that are ineffective, full of chemicals, really smelly, or require latex gloves for application? We were, too, so we developed a product that is tough on fungal and bacterial infections, gentle on the skin, and smells as natural as the herbs it's created with. Though called an Anti-Fungal Salve, it contains anti-microbial herbs and essential oils that battle both fungal and bacterial infections. This horse salve is one of our best-selling products and #1 with CA Riding Magazine. It was rated "TOP PRODUCT OF THE YEAR" in their October 2008 issue. Join the growing list of horse owners who discovered that Scratches, Horse Fungus, Rain Scald, Ring Worm, and Rain Rot don't stand a chance against this horse salve. Plus, you don't need latex gloves to apply this safe and effective horse preparation. Salve contains Echinacea, Burdock, Goldenseal Root, Chapparal, Calendula, Sage, Tea Tree, Black Walnut Hulls and other herbs.
The Anti-Fungal Salve is best for "crusty" fungal/bacterial infections such as Scratches, Rain Rot, and Ring Worm. The salve can be applied daily until skin is healed and new hair growth is evident. For non-crusty skin fungal/bacterial infections such as girth itch, face, ear, and chest dermatitis we recommend our Anti-Fungal Spray, which can also be used as a Rain Rot preventative. For skin fungus that is a combination of scabs and is spreading quickly, both products can be used together safely.  First apply the salve to all crusty and open skin areas, then spray total affected area.  And don't forget our Anti-Fungal Shampoo.  New in 2011, it's tough on topical infections, gentle on the skin and will leave your horse's coat gleaming.
