Abstract
Compositions of matter and method of use of compositions consisting essentially of a mixture, in effective amounts, of (a) a terpene or mixtures thereof, and (b) vitamin E. These compositions are used for treatment of cuts, burns and abrasions of the skin in mammals, particularly humans, to facilitate healing and reduce swelling, bleeding and pain, by applying the mixture to the affected external area of the skin, as by swabbing with an applicator. Alternatively, the treatment mixture can be pressurized by means of a carrier, such as ethylene chloride, for application by spraying.
