The medicinal properties of Hekla Lava were discovered by Dr. Garth Wilkinson after he observed that sheep grazing on the slopes of the volcano developed maxillary exostoses, a type of benign dental tumor. These observations led to the use of this remedy to treat rheumatic pain such asheel spurs (inflammation at the base of the heel) and parrot’s beak (vertebral osteophytes).
