The Best Homemade Ointment for Wounds, Bruises, Rheumatism, Arthritis, Sciatica, and More
If you’ve ever suffered from persistent muscle aches, joint pain, or painful bruises, you know how challenging it can be to find relief — especially from over-the-counter products that are often expensive and full of chemicals. But what if I told you that one of the most powerful healing remedies can actually be made in your own kitchen, using natural ingredients you probably already have?
I never imagined that traditional, folk medicine could offer such a potent, effective treatment — but after trying this homemade ointment just once, I was convinced. Now, I confidently recommend it to everyone, knowing it could bring real relief just as it did for me. I sincerely hope it becomes a helpful, healing part of your life as well.
This all-natural balm is not just for one specific issue. It’s a multi-purpose remedy that works wonders for:
Cuts and open wounds
Bruising and blood clots
Hard lumps from injections
Rheumatism and joint stiffness
Sciatica and lower back pain
Salt deposits in joints
Arthritis and chronic inflammation
🌿 Why Choose a Homemade Ointment?
Unlike pharmaceutical creams that may only target one symptom or come with unwanted side effects, this homemade ointment combines the power of natural oils, healing waxes, and traditional antimicrobial agents to provide broad-spectrum support. It’s safe, gentle, effective — and most importantly, it works!
Let’s dive into how to make it, step by step.
🧴 How to Prepare This Powerful Healing Ointment
To make this ointment, you’ll need to prepare two separate mixtures, which will then be combined into one final product.
🔹 Part 1: Onion-Infused Oil Base
Ingredients:
200 grams of vegetable oil (sunflower or olive oil works well)
1 large onion, finely chopped
Instructions:
Pour the vegetable oil into a small saucepan or pot.
Add the finely chopped onion to the oil.
Place the pot over low to medium heat.
Allow the mixture to heat until the onion becomes golden and fully fried.
Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, and then strain the oil through cheesecloth or a fine sieve to remove the onion pieces.
This onion-infused oil is the base of your ointment. Onions are known for their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and wound-healing properties, making them a powerful ingredient in any home remedy.
🔹 Part 2: Medicinal Wax & Resin Blend
Ingredients:
100 grams vegetable oil
10 grams natural gum resin (like frankincense or myrrh)
0.5 bottle of propolis tincture (usually around 12–15 ml from a pharmacy)
10 grams of natural yellow beeswax
1 small jar of pharmaceutical-grade Vaseline
3 tablets of chloramphenicol (crushed)
10 tablets of streptocide (crushed)
Instructions:
In a small saucepan, gently heat 100 grams of oil.
Add the 10 grams of gum resin and stir until fully dissolved.
Then add the propolis tincture, beeswax, and Vaseline.
Keep stirring until everything is completely melted and well-blended.
Crush the tablets (chloramphenicol and streptocide) into fine powder and stir them into the warm mixture.
Mix thoroughly until the consistency is smooth and uniform.
This blend is where most of the antiseptic and anti-inflammatory action happens. Propolis is a natural antibiotic, beeswax helps seal the skin and retain moisture, and the added tablets offer a gentle medicinal support for infections and inflammations.
🔄 Final Step: Combine & Store
Now, all that’s left is to bring the two mixtures together:
Combine the onion-infused oil with the medicinal wax blend in a clean pot.
Heat the mixture gently over low heat, stirring constantly until fully blended.
While still warm, pour the ointment into a sterilized glass jar or container.
Allow it to cool completely before sealing the jar.
Store the ointment in the refrigerator, where it will keep for several months.
💡 How to Use the Ointment
Use this ointment as needed — simply apply a small amount to the affected area and massage gently into the skin. It’s especially effective when used at night before bed, allowing your body to heal while you rest.
Here are just a few ways to use it:
On bruises to reduce swelling and discoloration
On wounds (after cleaning) to prevent infection and speed healing
On stiff joints and sore muscles to relieve pain
On the lower back for sciatica or nerve pain
On hardened areas under the skin (like post-injection lumps)
On arthritic joints to soothe chronic inflammation
