Sky Background for Iodex Ointment

Iodex

Iodex® has been a part of our family's medicine chest for such a long time that we could not imagine the product disappearing from the marketplace forever. Iodex® was off the market for a few months because Lee pharmaceuticals has closed its doors. We are happy to announce that Baar Products has purchased Iodex®. We are currently manufacturing Iodex® and we can ship it to you immediately. We want families for generations to come to be able to experience the healing powers of this time-tested formula.

We love hearing about the many ways families have been using Iodex® over time. Please don't hesitate to share with us all of the healing experiences you and your family have had with Iodex®.

Sincerely,
Bruce Baar

”This product has been a staple in our household for about 100 years. My mother who passed at age 90 always used Iodex on us kids for scratches and scrapes. Now that I am an adult I use it myself and my kids. I always buy 2 jars when I order so I don't run out.” - Amazon Customer

”I used Iodex when I was in high school for bruised hands when I played handball. It worked quickly to heal the bruises so I was able to play in the next meet. I still use it today. It has many uses for cuts, scrapes, bruises, burns... It still works great!!!” - Amazon Customer

”This salve is the greatest. I have used it for about 50 years and it works great on cuts and burns. It's a drawing salve so it helps draw infection to the top to help you heal. You have to use it to believe how good it really is.” - Amazon Customer

"Iodex is like a miracle. I strongly recommend it. When I grew up in New Orleans it was the go-to salve for my family to use. It works great on bruises and abrasions. It is because of how useful it is that I send it out to friends." - K.E., Spartanburg, SC

”My grandmother used it for everything, I still have one that I don't know how old it is, I saw this one and did not hesitate to buy, it is already part of my first aid kit.” - Amazon Customer

”Trust your elders . I took the advice of someone older than me and went with what "grandparents" used... No BS... stuff works.” - Amazon Customer

”I like this product because whenever I get a bruise or such I apply this ointment a couple times per day. It doesn't take long before they lighten up and disappear. I recommend this product.” - Amazon Customer

”Iodex was created in 1910. I believe my family started using it not far from 1910. Consequently, it became a tradition to the family first aid supplies. I can go to any of my cousin’s homes and find Iodex there too. Best stuff around.” - Amazon Customer

”I have used Iodex since I was a child in the 50's. It did a multitude of goodness. It is awesome on bruises and general wounds. But it helps to heal deeper wounds once they have started healing. It is good on minor burns, as well as mosquito bites. It was my parents’ go-to antiseptic. And it works well to help draw out splinters. A good, old-school product!” - Amazon Customer

”It is a very good medicine. It works very quickly. Without a doubt I would buy it a thousand times more.” - Amazon Customer

”We have used this for years! Got a tough splinter and your child won’t let you near them with tweezers? Put a dab of this on the sliver area, cover and within a day or so you can remove it without infection.” - Amazon Customer

”I’m using this product on my hand after getting surgery, along with therapy and taping during day. This helps to keep scar pain to a minimal.” - Amazon Customer

“As a Naturopathic doctor, my approach to most health issues is holistic and integrative. Recently, I had experienced an extremely painful ingrown hair that had become infected on my leg that required taking a short round of antibiotics. The day I started the antibiotics, I knew however, that I needed to “draw out” the infection too, since the antibiotics take a while to feel their effect. No exaggeration, within an hour and a half of putting a pea-sized amount of Iodex over the infection, to my surprise, the area began to draw out the infected tissue! Each time my body pushed out the infection, I felt the severe pain in my leg ease. Also, the bright pink color around the infected hair follicle began to lighten as well. After 4 days of consistently applying the Iodex, the ingrown hair came out as well. After the hair came out, I had no more sensitivity near the area. This stuff is amazing!” - Dr. R.B., Plymouth Meeting, PA

"My family has been using this product for decades and it has worked wonders every single time. It is such a consistently well made product and only full of the good stuff. Please continue making this product for generations to come. Best, A very happy customer" – G.R.

"My husband's grandparents were the first to use Iodex Topical Antiseptic Ointment. They passed it on to their children (one being my husband's mother). She passed it on to my husband & I, and we passed it to our children, and then to our grandchildren. Now our great-grandchildren are having it used on them. We estimate that our family has used Iodex for a good 100 years. Our granddaughter growing up would create a great trauma when hurt. We tried to put on medicines other than Iodex on her wound. She would put it on herself when she found that it did not sting or cause more hurt to the wound. I have used it on my badly chapped lips and on a cold sore. It heals. It lasts a long time and there isn't a time limit on it because we have had a jar that lasted for a good 10 years. It still worked like when we bought it new. I tell everyone I know about it. It's wonderful at healing wounds and drawing out infections, splinters, and small thorns." – B.R., Beaver, UT

"Iodex is a mainstay in my medicine chest, as well as, in the medicine chest of every member of our family (including, by choice, the 20-40 year old ‘kids’). It’s our ‘go to’. I am 60, and this product has been in use in our family for at least 4 generations now. As a kid, it was called ‘black magic’ in our household. Obviously, black for the color, and magic for how magically it worked. Every sore throat that anyone in our family has ever had, was treated with aspirin, then Iodex lightly rubbed on our throats followed by a warm towel wraps. (old towels, as it does stain). No one ever held a sore throat for more than 3 days. Also used on bug bites, skin scrapes/scratches, skinned knees, minor skin infections and bruises. There was a time where Iodex was hard to find and had to special order through a pharmacy. Making it more difficult, the pharmacists’ weren’t aware of the product, making it even harder to come by. We are so happy to find that Baar carries Iodex. Thank you!" – C.S.H., Aurora, CO

"I am so happy that my daughter remembered using Iodex from her childhood. I used it as a child, and have always found it to give amazing results. She found it online and we purchased it... We are so happy to find Iodex again!" - D.R., Mineral Wells, TX

"I recently had knee replacement surgery and was bruised very badly around my ankle and calf of my leg. I immediately went to my 20 year old container of Iodex. I had very little left in it. I used it all over my calf and ankle, and no longer had bruising on it. I also had some blood marks under the skin on my forearms. Not sure why and where they came from, but have had them for months. After ordering a new jar of Iodex, I have been putting it on my arms and have almost remove all of them. I am only 70 years old and my Mother used this on us as kids when we got bruised… I remember getting bruised easily and I would have a large bruise with a hard knot in the center. Iodex would reduce the soreness from it within days." – L.D., Valrico, FL

"Growing up, Dad always had a jar around and instructed me to use it for the many cuts I received as a growing boy. He learned to use it from his dad and I'm now teaching my daughter how to use it when she gets a cut. Still the best product on the market." – A.L., Lake Oswego, OR

"I have been using Iodex for over 60 years. I started using it in the 10th grade of high school, and I'm 78 years old and have 4 children that I got through sports with it. I have informed people in Michigan and people in Florida how helpful this product is for muscle problems and how to obtain the product. I ask people to ask a druggist to order it... We ordered two bottles as we always like to have one extra. We have even have given partial jars to friends so they can try it and find the benefit of it. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT PRODUCT." - L.J.B.

"I was introduced to Iodex Salve growing up on a farm. When I became an adult, I have always made sure I kept a supply handy. My supply had been on hand so long that the top rusted away. I have finally got around to ordering a new jar, even though the old supply seemed to be working well. I consider Iodex the 'go-to-treatment' for those situations that do not seem to respond to other treatments. I wished it was more conveniently available through my local pharmacies… It is a great product!" - H.D., Decatur, GA

"I have been using Iodex for over 55 years. I have raised 4 children and this product was always close at hand. It is amazing for any kind of cut, scratch, rash, anything I'd use an antibiotic for, I substituted Iodex and it ALWAYS worked... When my daughter-in-law called and said she had an infection from her earrings and nothing worked to clear it, I asked her why she didn't use the Iodex. She said the other stuff didn't work and she doubted that would work. I told her to try it. That's why I gave it to her. She did, it did, and now she reaches for it often for the family. The problem is getting folks to believe it works the way it does. Everyone believes the pharmaceuticals are the only answer... Thank you for still making a wonderful product, I had an easier time raising my kids because you do." – P.A.P.

Here's a review from Carl about Iodex:

I grew up with Iodex for every cut, scratch or burn. By the time my grandchildren arrived the bottle was almost depleted. I had tried to get it from the large drug retailers but no they didn't have it. In discussing this problem with our office assistant (whose husband like me had grown up depending on it), she advised that I could order it. Eureka, I went on line and there it was. I ordered it and even got two bottles, one of which I gave to the daughter (mother of the grandchildren who I had wanted it for). Great product. Thank you!!
