Our family has used Z-M-O Oil for more than 80 years. We have used it on family members to relieve the pain and help promote healing for bed sores.

For most people it does not sting or burn upon application.

We cannot guarantee that Z-M-O will completely heal all bed
sores, but it should bring relief from the pain

consistently. Application three to four times per day is  recommended. Just dab Z-M-O on the affected area with a cotton ball.

You can use Z-M-O on your pets for their injuries as well.

A:     Z-M-O Oil was named by and for its creator Max R. Zaegel. The M is for Magic (according to a 1906 History) and the O is for Oil. Zaegel was a Pharmacist in Sheboygan Wisconsin. Today the building he and his partner, Dr. C. Muth,  built in 1886 is a designated landmark in Sheboygan. The three story building housed Zaegel and Company (pharmaceuticals), doctors' offices on the second floor and a college on the third floor. If you visit Sheboygan you can check out the building. It is located at the corner of 8th Street and New York Ave. To the best of our knowledge, today the ground floor houses a deli restaurant called New York on 8th Street. We had a good lunch there August 6, 2001.

A:    Z-M-O Oil is a combination of Mineral Oil, Menthol, Methyl Salicylate, Turpentine, Camphor, Cottonseed Oil, Safrol and Oil of Eucalyptus. Developed by a pharmacist in the mid to late 1800's. See our History.

A:     Good question! Z-M-O Oil is not nationally known because it is not on TV or Radio. In fact, we have done little or no advertising for many years. Therefore, you can not get it in the chain stores. Z-M-O Oil exists today, only because our loyal customers still find it to be the best, all-around first aid medication that they have ever used. In order to continue to offer this amazing oil, we are presenting it here on the web. We believe that once you have used it on a sunburn, your sore muscles, a painful joint, scrape or cut, you will know why you bought an old time remedy through the mail.

A:     If you click on the Home Page, the photo shows our current labels on the Eight and Four ounce bottles in the front row. You will see that our labels match the colors on our web page. Z-M-O Oil is a golden yellow liquid. 

A:    One 8 oz. bottle is a good supply for a new customer. For the average household, this will last many months depending on how liberally it is applied. A 4 oz. bottle is a good starter size, to see if you experience the same pain relief from Z-M-O Oil as our many loyal customers.
