I hope some of the stuff I post is helpful...I can’t imagine my health without herbs! (Huge Shudder)
I was thinking today while mixing up a couple of batches of herbs the various conditions I’ve used for myself and others that have cured or healed various conditions. From insomnia to stress to kidney stones, heart problems, boils, acne, UTIs, allergies, pre-cancerous cervix, post cancer treatment, swollen lymph nodes, high prostate numbers/prostate symptoms, acid reflux, and more.
Pinging the list again, sorry if too much! This time posting my recipe (or suggestions) for pain liniment. The addition of camphor and menthol really help, we use this a lot. If you try this, you can adjust the proportions of EOs to the water/alcohol to your liking.
Essential oil base for pain liniment.
To a 4 oz bottle, add a couple of teaspoons of this base, and top off with half water and have 190 proof alcohol, or top off with vodka. Shake well. I have since found that adding natural camphor crystals and menthol crystals really give it a huge punch. Add the crystals at your discretion, I just dumped in without measuring! I bought both crystals on Amazon. This is a LOT of varied EOs and I am sure some can be skipped if you don’t have them. It’s sort of overkill.

Shake well, and the crystals should dissolve.
Links to the crystals on amazon, it is vital to get natural camphor, the industrial kind is toxic.
