Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 The most common use is as a flavoring. It is also a ver common ingredient in muscle rubs. Often listed as Methyl salicylate. I use it at a rate of about 2% in my muscle rub. In aromatherapy they consider it unsafe, however there is no testing or data to back up the assertion. Cruise your drugstore shelves and you'll see it is used in a lot of products. Joanne Cosmeticinfo wrote: Subject: Wintergreen Oil? Can anyone give me information about Wintergreen Oil? I am looking for what it is used for, usage rates, can it be used neat on the skin or does it need to be diluted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 My Father in Law got a sample of this in the mail. http://www.flexogan.com/prod2.php He said it works for his Carpol Tunnel like nothing else he has ever tried. He is 85 and when I looked it up on the web I was shocked at the ingredients. Marge, what do you think? How can they get away with this?

I wouldn't touch the stuff. it may immediately reduce the pain, but it has nothing that will do any long term healing. there ARE natural products that are safe, gentle, and promote carpal tunnel healing thru their anti-inflammatory action. the above formula isn't one of them.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 In my quest for info to create a safe & effective arthritis formula, Deb posted a link for info on Plai or Zingiber cassumunar Roxb. Has anyone tried this eo? Have you found it to be an effective analgesic in your experiences? (thanks, Deb!) And Olga (thanks, Olga!) recommended MSM. Does MSM interact with eo's in any positive or negative way .... are any eo's recommended to use in combination with MSM? Or would effectiveness of MSM be lessened if used in combination with eo's? Any supplier info for MSM would be appreciated. Thanks, on behalf of my mom-in-law's knees. Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
