My gran swears by Echinacea, you have a cold- echinacea, you have an infection- echinacea, you feel unwell- echinacea. I read it's generally to encourage the healing of wounds particularly if prone to infection, and as a natural antiseptic. Improves the integrity of the skin. Minor wounds, cuts, grazes, bites and stings. Boils and skin infections. neuralgia, shingles, cold sores....
Can I used this in a cream form to help new tattoo heal?

Apply what your tattoo artist told you to apply. I would not be happy if my clients decided on their own what they feel they should use as an aftercare product. I also would not guarantee any work if my clients departed from my instructions. Grandma doesn't know a thing about healing tattoos, does she?

Echinacea may make a great cream, but stick to the classics. A&D, Neosporin, bacitracin, etc. are tried and true. Use what every other tatto artist would suggest; they know what works.
What does grandma use on her tattoos?

DO NOT put neosporin or vasoline on your tat.... they can draw the ink out of your skin- use what your artist suggested, or A&D ointment, until it starts to peel, then a gentle non scented lotion like lubriderm.
Good Luck!

i don't know of that cream but what i found fantastic for my tattoo's was almond oil with lavender oil. the lavender is a natural anesthetic and great skin healer and the oil stops the scab hardening

your best bet would be to just go with applying nespoin every day until it is heals tat is what my dad does and it works .
