Flying ointment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Flying ointment, also known as witches' flying ointment, green ointment, magic salve and lycanthropic ointment, is a hallucinogenic ointment said to be used by witches in the Early Modern period. Some sources have claimed that the ointment is absorbed best through mucous membranes, but henbane essential oil, for instance, blisters mucous membranes, so it is doubtful that it was applied to a stick that was inserted in the vagina. Twilight Sleep was a mixture of scopolamine, a belladonna alkaloid, and morphine, a papaver alkaloid, that was injected and which furnished a combination of painkilling and amnesia for a woman in labor. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Flying_ointment   (537 words)

Topical ointment for preventing infection in preterm infants In the large trial conducted by Edwards and colleagues, no significant difference was found between the prophylactic ointment and control groups in the risk for bacterial infection with a known pathogen (RR 0.96, 95% CI 0.67, 1.38) (Edwards 2001). Daily application of a topical ointment was also found to reduce transepidermal water loss in the first six hours of life in one of the four trials, although these findings were not consistent in the two additional trials measuring fluid balance and transepidermal water loss (results not reported here). In the Edwards study (Edwards 2001), individual tubes of ointment were administered to each treated infant daily, while in Lane's and Nopper's studies (Lane 1993; Nopper 1996), the emollient ointment was administered in sterile syringes. www.nichd.nih.gov /cochraneneonatal/SOLL7/SOLL.HTM   (4380 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ointment in Scripture Likewise the ceremonial and sacred use of oil and ointment was of early origin among the Hebrews, and, of course, was much elaborated in the prescriptions of the later ritual. Oil and ointment however, are distinguished in Luke vii, 46: "My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she with ointment hath anointed my feet." Identical or similar preparations, in which myrrh was an important ingredient, were used in anointing the dead body as well as the living subject (Luke 23:56). Ointment of spikenard, a very costly unguent, is mentioned in Mark, xiv, 3, "an alabaster box of ointment of precious spikenard" (cf. www.newadvent.org /cathen/11229a.htm   (320 words)

OINTMENT in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online) The scented oils or ointments were kept in jars or vials (not boxes) made of alabaster. The word translated "ointment" in the New Testament is muron, "myrrh." This would indicate that myrrh, an aromatic gum resin, was the substance commonly added to the oil to give it odor. In Lk 7:46 both kinds of oil are mentioned, and the verse might be paraphrased thus: My head with common oil thou didst not anoint; but she hath anointed my feet with costly scented oil. www.bible-history.com /isbe/O/OINTMENT   (349 words)

Backpacker.com - A Fly In The Ointment You may have heard reports that ointment does nothing to prevent infection, and that it may even be counterproductive. "Ointment (applied to a wound) generates a moist, receptive environment for new cells," says Garth Russo, M.D., an acute-care physician at the University of Georgia. That's why many docs recommend using a "double" antibiotic ointment containing polymyxin and bacitracin, instead of a "triple" antibiotic ointment containing neomycin as well. www.backpacker.com /article/1,2646,2043,00.html   (287 words)

Newborn Eye Ointment - from Ronnie Falcão's Midwife Archives Some midwives suggest prophylactic eye ointment for babies born in the hospital, even if they wouldn't make the same recommendation for a birth that takes place in the home or birth center. The use of ointments and AgNO3 is in this perspective obsolete that nowadays eye infections, caused by gonococci or other germs, easily can be treated and cured from the moment of onset. My thought on that one is that there is likely some kind of local irritant reaction to the ointment, which causes swelling of the tear ducts and blockage. www.gentlebirth.org /archives/eyeointm.html   (1597 words)
