cerate

(Obtain and use Calendula cerate or ointment in episiotomies where it is very soothing.)

Goulard's cerate is a cerate containing this extract.

The cerate of the United States Pharmacopoeia is a mixture of three parts of paraffin and seven parts of lard.

Goulard's Extract was a primary ingredient in both Goulard's Cerate and Goulard's Water.

Cerate, historically simple cerate, (from Latin cera "wax") is an unctuous preparation for external application, of a consistency intermediate between that of an ointment and a plaster.
