Precautions & Patch Test Guidance
NEVER use warm or hot water; heat denatures blood proteins and bakes them permanently into fibers. Spot-test colored silk or wool on a hidden seam first.
For any topical preparation, always conduct a 24-hour inner-arm skin patch test first. Informational traditional wisdom only—not medical advice. Read full Health Disclaimer .
