I started using this salve for my fingers which develop cracks because of the dry weather even though I have used commercial Hand Creams on a regular basis. I asked Theresa if she could recommend something for my hands and she said to try the Plantain Salve she makes. This has been truly wonderful for not only helping a finger split heal but also has helped to prevent them happening so often. I have sent some Plaintain Salve to my 91 year old mother who gets splits in the pads of her fingers and has told me that this has helped her as well. Thank you Theresa!!
