Use: Always clean skin before adding any salve to it: you do not want to seal dirt, debris, and microbes into a wound because it could lead to infection.  After cleaning both skin and your hands, use a figure-tip amount at a time of Vein Salve on desired area. Repeat as needed. Regular, consistent use will yield better results.
