The Best Homemade Ointment for Wounds, Bruises, Rheumatism, Arthritis, Sciatica, etc.
I never imagined that folk medicine could offer such a powerful healing remedy! It has already been tried once, so I confidently recommend it to you. I hope it will also help you and bring the relief you desire.
We use it when we have:
Wounds
Marks at injection sites
Bruises
Rheumatism
Sciatica
Salt deposits
Arthritis
To prepare the ointment, you must first make two separate compositions:
Composition A (Infused Oil Base)
Pour 200 grams of vegetable oil into a pot.
Add a finely chopped onion (use one large onion).
Place the pot over heat and warm it gently until the onion begins to fry slightly.
After it has heated and infused, remove from heat and strain out the onion solids, retaining the infused oil.
Composition B (Medicinal Base)
In 100 grams of vegetable oil, dissolve 10 grams of gum (resin or a gum-like substance).
Add propolis tincture — half of a pharmacy‑bought small bottle.
Add 10 g of yellow beeswax.
Add one pharmacy bottle of pharmaceutical-grade petrolatum (vaseline).
Crush and incorporate 3 tablets of chloramphenicol.
Add 10 tablets of streptocide.
Mix thoroughly until fully blended.
Once both compositions are ready, combine them in a pot. Heat gently, stirring continuously, until the mixture is well-blended and reaches a homogeneous consistency. Finally, pour the warm ointment into a sterilized jar (sterilization is essential). It is best to store this ointment in the refrigerator. Use the ointment as needed for the problems listed above.

The Best Handmade Ointment for Wounds, Bruises, Rheumatism, Arthritis, Sciatica, and More
I never thought that traditional or folk medicine could present such a potent healing formula! Having tested it at least once, I now recommend it to you with confidence. My hope is that it will also benefit you and bring the relief you seek.
We employ this ointment when facing various issues such as:
Open wounds
Marks or discoloration at injection sites
Bruises (ecchymoses)
Rheumatism or joint pain
Sciatica or nerve pain
Salt (mineral) deposits around joints
Arthritis (joint inflammation)
To achieve the ointment, you must first prepare two distinct mixtures (we can call them Composition A and Composition B), and then merge them into the final product.
Composition A — The Infused Oil Base
Take 200 grams of a neutral vegetable oil (for example, sunflower, olive, or another good quality oil).
Chop finely one large onion.
Place both the oil and the chopped onion into a pot or saucepan.
Warm gently over low heat, allowing the onion to slowly cook and infuse its bioactive compounds into the oil. Be careful not to overheat or burn the onion; the goal is to warm enough to release the onion’s therapeutic constituents into the oil.
After sufficient heating, allow the mixture to cool slightly and then strain to remove the solid onion bits. Keep the infused oil.
This onion‑infused oil is believed to carry anti‑inflammatory, antimicrobial, and circulation‑stimulating properties from onion (such as sulfur compounds) into the base medium.
Composition B — The Medicinal Base
Measure 100 grams of vegetable oil (similar kind as used above).
Dissolve 10 grams of gum (resin or herbal gum) into that oil under gentle heat, so it fully melts in.
Add propolis tincture — half a pharmacy bottle (adjust per strength). Propolis is known in folk medicine for its antimicrobial and healing properties.
Add 10 grams of yellow beeswax, which helps solidify and stabilize the ointment.
Add petrolatum (vaseline) — one standard pharmacy bottle — which provides occlusion, moisture retention, and spreadability.
Take 3 tablets of chloramphenicol (an antibiotic) and crush them into fine powder, incorporating into the mixture.
Add 10 tablets of streptocide (sulfonamide antibiotic) similarly crushed.
Stir thoroughly until the composition is uniform.
This second composition delivers targeted antimicrobial and pharmaceutical action (from chloramphenicol and streptocide) along with supportive base ingredients.
Combining the Two Compositions into the Final Ointment
Gently pour Composition A and Composition B into a single pot.
Heat softly on low flame, continuously stirring to integrate both parts thoroughly.
Continue heating just enough to meld them but avoid excessive temperatures which could degrade active ingredients.
Once you achieve a smooth, uniform consistency, remove from heat.
Pour the ointment into a sterilized jar or container. Sterilization of the container is crucial to prevent contamination.
Once cooled, store the ointment in the refrigerator to preserve its properties and prevent spoilage.
Use this ointment as needed for the conditions listed above — wounds, bruises, rheumatism, arthritis, sciatica, injection marks, or salt deposits.
Additional Remarks & Warnings
While this remedy is drawn from traditional or folk prac
Safety of combining ingredients: Mixing antibiotics (chloramphenicol, streptocide) with herbal and base ingredients may carry risks of instability, degradation, or unintended interactions.
Sterility and contamination risk: Since this ointment is used for wounds, bruises, or broken skin, any contamination may lead to infection. Proper sterilization oft is essential to approach it with caution and awareness:
containers, utensils, and handling is critical.
Allergy potential: Some ingredients (propolis, beeswax, onion, or certain gums) can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Antibiotic resistance & medical oversight: Using antibiotics topically must be done under medical supervision to avoid misapplication or contributing to antibiotic resistance. Overuse or inappropriate use can be harmful.
Efficacy is not medically proven: Traditional formulas, however venerable, do not always stand up to modern clinical testing. Their benefits may be anecdotal or limited in scientific support.
Consult a healthcare professional: For serious infections, deep wounds, systemic illness (arthritis, rheumatism, sciatica), you should not rely solely on home remedies. Use such salves only as complementary, under professional guidance.
Storage & shelf life: Even refrigerated, homemade ointments have a limited shelf life — watch for changes in smell, color, or consistency, and discard if spoilage is suspected.
