Therapeutic 7 Cream, Applications and Information
for Health Professionals

 

7 Cream has its background in the homeopathic and naturopathic health field. It was developed and tested in a clinical setting over a period of several years. There are no formal trials or studies to refer to and most of the information we have about it is anecdotal. However the combination of clinical experience, testimonials and a study of the ingredients can be helpful in understanding the whys and wherefores of its use.

Firstly, because it was originally developed for practitioners and patients that prefer non-toxic, natural ingredients, the non active parts of the cream were chosen for their benign nature. The stabilizers and emulsifiers have been kept to a minimum and are of as type not known to cause any long term damage or side effects.

Generally, apart from being a very good moisturizer, 7 Cream is most useful wherever the promotion of healing of damaged skin is called for – burns and wound healing in particular, but many conditions where there is inflammation of the skin can benefit from its use. The attached extracts from testimonials gives some more idea of how the cream is being used.
