MediHoney Homeopathic Wound Care

MediHoney | MFASCO Health & Safety

MediHoney Wound & Burn Treatment

We are excited to introduce a new product to our customers. MediHoney is an innovative product that is on the cutting edge of wound care. Best of all, it is homeopathic! MediHoney is designed to heal wounds by using a special type of honey specifically from Leptospermum trees, a species grown only in Australia and New Zealand. By using MediHoney on burns and hard-to-heal wounds, it expedites the natural healing process, getting rid of the neurotic (dead) tissue and debris from the wound, encouraging the growth of healthy tissue.  MediHoney takes advantage of the moist wound environment and goes to work in the presence of blood, tissue, and wound fluid.  The product doesn’t stop excessive bleeding but rather heals wounds such as: diabetic foot ulcers, first and second-degree burns, and donor sites.

We offer the MediHoney  2X2 Dressing, MediHoney 4X5 Dressing and the  MediHoney Tube containing just the honey, no dressing.  Each product has been formed for a slightly different use. These products have been proven to work effectively by addressing the factors that delay chronic wound healing such as lowering the pH of the wound and encouraging osmotic activity around the wound.  Click on any of the 3 links above and learn more about how MediHoney can help you!  We look forward to hearing feedback about these new products and are happy to provide this line to our customers.

Medi-First Antacid Tablets

The holiday season is in full swing! Presents are being carefully picked-out, lights are being strung, and families are gathering together for meals. Along with all of the celebration comes stress and holiday treats that cause stomach ailments.  The digestive problems you are experiencing can be relieved with the help of our Medi-First Antacid Tablets.

These antacid tablets are chewable and sugar-free. They contain an aluminum-free calcium carbonate supplement and are designed to relieve heartburn, indigestion and sour stomach in a timely matter. The tablets are mint-flavored, which is a leaf often used to aid in digestion and soothe an upset stomach. Indigestion, or dyspepsia, can be caused by gastric, esophageal, ovarian, liver, or pancreatic problems. Notably, it can also be induced by eating too fast, too much of a greasy food, or drinking too much alcohol. No matter what the reason, the pain needs to be controlled.

As with any physical ailment, you should always consult your doctor.  If they suggest using an antacid, then give these a try, they really are effective.  Our Medi-First Antacid Tablets are packaged in a “pre-dose” package containing 2 tablets per package.  We offer a box of 250 packages, 125 packages or 50 packages ready to help sooth your holiday stomach symptoms.  They are sold at a low cost so our customers get more for their money! This product has been described by our customers as “Good quality,” and “as good as tums.”

Don’t spend another meal writhing with uneasiness and missing out on memories that can’t be replaced. Find our Medi-First Antacid Tablets here!

Plantar Fasciitis – Common Foot Pain

November 1st, 2011

Do your feet ever hurt when you wake up? Is every step filled with pain? If yes, it could be plantar fasciitis.  Inflammation of the plantar fascia tissues in the sole of the foot, which extends from the heel to the front of the foot, could be torn or stretched to its limit. The Plantar fascia is what supports the arch of your foot and if tension becomes too great it can tear. Plantar fasciitis is common for runners, ballet dancers, flat-footed, and those who are overweight.  Thankfully, there are products out there to ease your discomfort.

We stock several different types of plantar products ranging from “boot” type devices to  simple “wraps” that offer additional support.  They are all designed to ease the pain and discomfort of this ailment.  The boot style in the picture to the right helps provide tension and stretch the plantar fascia tissue then relieving the tension.  We have a selection of products have been designed to be worn within a shoe, to sleep in, and others are designed as splints and boots.

Talk to your doctor and ask which type would be best for you. Don’t pay for expensive braces or boots at the home health care store.  Take a look here and see all of the products we have that could help you relieve pain caused by plantar fasciitis!
