On TB every waking moment
Just got another bottle today (for a friend I gave samples to) ... good stuff, and for me the effects have been cumulative. I use it about every third day now, not twice or three times a day. Bad knees ...

Just an FYI, I am currently dealing with an abscessed tooth (lowerjaw) and the ouch works on that pain too!
My landlord soaked a cotton ball with it and taped it over his belly button, claims that it eliminated a lot of interior pains and aches he had.

Okay, I’ve got to try this one. Since the appendectomy a few weeks ago, I’ve had random shooting pains that feels like I’m getting zapped.

I’m fairly confident it’s normal, just nerve endings regenerating, but dang. When you jerk upright in your seat at church with a loud ‘UgAhh!’, it tends to draw attention.

Landlord actually slept like that and said that getting out of bed was much easier (he is late 80s)

Guys... I've studied herbs, health and alternative medicine for years. In an effort to help both hubby and I get relief from various injuries as well as the aches and pains of getting older, I've experimented with various combinations of essential oils for topical use, and have come up with a recipe that has proven very effective for us, and many others who have tried it.

It's not cheap to make... the base oil is jojoba oil, which is the oil most similar to human sebum, so it absorbs quickly and without feeling "greasy"... we often use it at night and it absorbs so fast that there isn't any greasy staining of bed sheets or clothing. The problem is, the stuff costs about a buck an ounce, by itself!

And I don't even like to think about the cost of the oils!

But anyway... for things like old fractures, inflammatory pain (hubby often has specific spots in his spine and sacrum that create so much inflammation it feels like you could fry eggs on his skin) and both chronic and acute muscular-skeletal pain, it often works better than the Rx meds or NSAIDs, allowing us to relax and get a good night's sleep.

It also works really well to reduce swelling and pain in acute sprains, strains, etc...

Hubby often has me apply it to his spine at mid-day so he can keep working through the afternoon. It has a pleasant, distinctive odor which doesn't scream "I used BenGay!" like many of the commercial rubs... LOL!

I don't know whether or not it would be useful for fibromylagia or severe arthritis... It did give hubby quite a bit- but not complete- relief for his hip pain when it was bone-on-bone before his hip replacement, but I haven't really tested it on arthritic joints much.

I wish I could offer to just send it to anyone for free to try, but we're dead broke. Shipping costs are going to be the biggie. I should be able to break even on a 1 ounce glass bottle shipped in a padded envelope for about $12. Obviously, larger amounts would be much less expensive per ounce

If anyone is interested in trying it, PM me and we'll arrange it.

Having lived with chronic pain for too many decades, I really am amazed at how well this stuff works for us.
