No, I had some arnica gel and tablets.<<<

those I have not used.

I would be using the oregano, peppermint,and always the lavender, for it heals everything.

Before essential oils, we used the liquid insides of vitamin E capsules and I sometimes, crushed a zinc tablet and made a paste of the vit. E, if you have fresh comfrey leaf add that, crush into a green smear and spread it on, it works.

Bill kept a vit. E, with a pin in it near his chair, LOL, he would apply it to his cuts and put the pin back in the hole ready for the next time......sterile?
NO, but it served him well for many years.

We never bought all that stuff from the drugstore.

Ok, thanks.

:) And frugal way of using it as well. I have some of those and will be doing the same!
