Hey there,
found some coconut and lanolin as helpful in healing wounds.
I especially was interested in how coconut got rid of head lice. I spent 3 weeks combing my daughters hair recently to get rid of those pesky varmints!

I did find some articles about allergies to lanolin in less than 1% of population. So if you get a rash from wool, best to steer clear of lanolin.
