Neurolaena lobata, commonly known as Jackass Bitters or Tres Puntas, has a longstanding history in traditional Mayan and Garifuna medicine. This plant is widely recognized for its potent antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an effective remedy for various dermatological conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, sores, insect bites, bacterial and fungal infections, and cold sores. Its bioactive compounds, including sesquiterpene lactones, contribute to its strong therapeutic potential in skin healing and immune modulation.


To enhance its efficacy, Jackass Bitters is carefully combined with lemongrass, tea tree, clove, and thyme essential oils, each selected for their complementary medicinal properties. This synergistic formulation amplifies the balm's therapeutic benefits, creating a highly effective botanical remedy for diverse skin ailments. While Jackass Bitters alone is renowned for its efficacy, the integration of these additional botanicals enhances its capacity to soothe irritation, combat pathogens, and restore skin integrity.


The medicinal properties of this formulation are delivered through a carefully curated blend of hempseed oil, coconut oil, arnica oil, and shea butter. These carriers not only facilitate absorption but also offer their own dermatological benefits:

  • Hempseed Oil: Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, hempseed oil supports the skin's barrier function, reduces inflammation, and enhances moisture retention, making it particularly beneficial for conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
  • Coconut Oil: Known for its deeply hydrating and antimicrobial properties, coconut oil helps to soften the skin, prevent infections, and accelerate wound healing by providing a lipid-rich environment that supports skin repair.
  • Arnica Oil: Derived from the Arnica montana flower, this oil is well-regarded for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, which help alleviate pain, swelling, and irritation associated with skin conditions.
  • Shea Butter: Abundant in vitamins A and E, shea butter deeply nourishes the skin while promoting cellular regeneration and healing. Its natural anti-inflammatory properties help soothe redness and discomfort, making it ideal for sensitive or damaged skin.


The addition of carefully selected essential oils enhances the balm's therapeutic potential by targeting inflammation, microbial infections, and oxidative stress:

  • Tea Tree Oil: Recognized for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, tea tree oil helps combat bacterial and fungal infections, making it particularly beneficial for treating acne, eczema, and fungal conditions.
  • Thyme Oil: Possessing strong antiseptic and antimicrobial qualities, thyme oil supports the treatment of skin infections while exhibiting anti-inflammatory effects that contribute to skin comfort and healing.
  • Clove Oil: With its potent antifungal, antiseptic, and analgesic properties, clove oil aids in addressing fungal conditions and alleviating discomfort associated with skin irritation and infections.
  • Lemongrass Oil: Known for its soothing and astringent properties, lemongrass oil helps reduce inflammation and itching while imparting a refreshing aroma that enhances the balm’s sensory appeal.


By harnessing the medicinal properties of Jackass Bitters alongside a carefully selected blend of carrier oils and essential oils, this balm offers a comprehensive and effective approach to skin health. Its ability to reduce inflammation, combat microbial infections, and restore moisture balance makes it an invaluable remedy for individuals suffering from chronic skin conditions. The combined action of these botanicals not only provides immediate relief from itching, pain, and irritation but also supports long-term skin regeneration and resilience. This formulation exemplifies the power of plant-based medicine in addressing dermatological concerns through a holistic and scientifically grounded approach.
