Cansema Salve - Deep Tissue Cansema Salve - Deep Tissue

(102 g.)
Main Cansema Page

Introductory Note: This version of Cansema was made only in the large "clinical-sized" jar (102 g. net). It contains half the potency of Original Cansema®. Please read below for particulars.

This product (introduced September, 2009) was created for those who want a less aggressive formula than the Original Cansema® formula. It contains roughly 50% of the Original formula with fresh aloe vera gel. (The balance of the formula is primarily 18% calcium carbonate -- an inert base that works to provide proper consistency.)
For years we had been advising customers that if they found Cansema® too aggressive to go ahead and dilute with 50% aloe vera gel (available at most health food stores). This formula provides the user with a trade-off: (1) it needs to be applied more often, and (2) there is less pain response because the timeline of the escharotic process is extended.
Whereas the use of Original Cansema® brings about the initiation of an eschar formation with one -- sometimes two -- applications, this product may need to be applied a half dozen times or more over several days to accomplish the same thing. Additionally, the stages between eschar formation, drying out and contraction, ejection, and decavitation, will be extended, as well. Again -- the entire timeline of the escharotic process is being extended to minimize the pain response. (The stage between decavitation and "heal over" should, however, be roughly the same).
If you have any questions about this product, please email us with your queries or concerns.

Ingredients: Wild-crafted aloe vera (gel), calcium carbonate, zinc chloride (ZnCl2), chapparal (Larrea mexicata leaf [contains active principle: NDGA (nordihydrogauaretic acid, 17% by weight)]), glycerine (used as a humectant, to keep the product moist), graviola leaf extract (distilled water, Annona muricata), oleander leaf extract (distilled water, Nerium oleander), sanguinaria root powder (Sanguinaria canadensis), and methylcellulose.

Which To Choose?
We realize that this is the fifth Cansema version to be introduced, since we began selling escharotic preparations to the public in 1990.
That some users -- and perhaps even practitioners -- may be confused by the choices, is understandable. Below we provide here a quick summation, in brief, of the versions now available, their functions and differences, and links to more detailed product pages:
( 1 ) Cansema® Black Topical Salve (Original) -- This is the original Cansema® formula -- with trademarks prior to 1995 including HerbVeil 8 and Formula G.
( 2 ) Cansema® Salve Deep Tissue -- A variation formulated with enhanced transdermal properties.
( 3 ) Cansema® With Iodine -- This variation contains added Lugol's iodine.
( 4 ) Cansema® Salve for Cats, Dogs & Horses -- This is a variation for veterinary use. It is a variation of "Deep Tissue."
( 5 ) Cansema® Salve with Nuwais -- This variation was also introduced in Sept. 2009.
( 6 ) Cansema® Salve with Aloe Vera Gel -- And, finally, this variation -- a less aggressive formula that extends the timeline of the process.
A complete list of ingredients, along with more detailed information, can be found in the answer to Question #200 in the Cansema FAQ section.
