- Almond (and other nut) oils work better than olive oil, which is strong-smelling and gives a rather slimy consistency. The nut oils also allow smooth motion in massage, while giving enough friction to generate heat.
- Bee’s-wax, besides helping keep the ointment solid, also has antiseptic and anti-fungal qualities. That is why bees-nests don’t get moldy.
- Cocoa Butter is, of course, used in many sun-screens. It is also just generally soothing, as well as keeping the solid but soft consistency of Fairie Balm.
- Calendula Flowers….[is] antiseptic, anti-fungal, astringent, wound-healing….therapeutic for burns, scalds, sunburns, bruises, wounds, and slow-healing sores. An effective anti-inflammatory, it brings down swellings of sprains, insect bites, varicose veins, and contusions. It is also used in cases of athlete’s-foot, and to treat conjunctivitis.**
- Plantain Leaf….speed[s] wound healing….[soothes] burns, bee-stings, hemorrhoids, and conjunctivitis.*
- Chickweed Leaf….once used to fade freckles….treats inflamed skin, itching eczema, psoriasis, and surface veins. It soothes rheumatic joints, draws out splinters, and heals wounds.*
- Comfrey Leaf contains calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and allantoin which speeds cell renewal in damaged muscles and broken bones….speeds healing of cuts, burns, open sores, and eczema.*
….speed[s] the healing of broken bones, sprains, bruises, wounds, and skin problems.**

Art by Moro Baruk
Moro Baruk is an artist. He was born in Egypt in 1947.
When barely 16, Moro arrived in Milan, Italy. Circumstances demanded that he undertake quick technical studies, which would enable him to earn a living. For two and a half years he studied fashion illustration and design, after which he and his family emigrated to the United States of America. There he continued his studies while he worked to earn his living.
In 1979, Moro and his wife Paule, responding to a calling to serve their Faith, traveled to Haiti. After a year of living in Petion Ville, the Baruks decided to plant their roots in Jacmel, in the South-East of Haiti. In the beginning of their sojourn in Jacmel, Moro and Paule started a business of hand-painted clothing: Paule was in charge of the sewing and Moro of the painting. It was quite a successful enterprise.
In 1983 a chain of circumstances brought the Baruks to start a craft enterprise. It was quite small at first: Moro was the designer/salesman, Paule was the manager, doing accounting and varnishing the merchandise. They also employed a young lathe woodworker, and another young man to paint what was produced. Moro designed all the wooden items, which were then decorated in a new way created by him. He introduced the black background boxes with red and other-colored birds and leaves all around.
Moro also designed a whole assortment of carved zebras, giraffes, elephants etc., and painted them in bright colors. Among the various crafts designed by Moro, one can find serving trays, boxes of all kind, utilitarian containers, Kleenex boxes, Placemats, Coasters, even some furniture. This enterprise grew rapidly. "Les Creations Moro" is known throughout the Caribbean, the United States and some parts of Europe.
Today, the Baruks live in a house they built in their adopted hometown, Jacmel. They employ 25 artisans, and they are very busy helping to establish the principles of race unity, the equality of men and women, the elimination of prejudice of all kind; all principles brought by Baha'u'llah the Prophet-Founder of the Baha'i Faith.
