Ichthyol: through its processing in ovens at very high temperatures (up to 250 degrees), the ointment was made. An ointment that at that time was mainly used during the war as an antiseptic and pesticide to treat soldiers' wounds.
The miraculous ointment, used in the form of an ointment to fight infections and to protect ulcers, sores and other skin lesions, is what our grandmothers remember well: ichthyol.
