I agree with Cathy. Absorption through the skin will put any product into your other bodily system. I would stay far away from anything with toxic warnings. I suffer from several illnesses and am always careful about a treatment for any one of the issues that could exacerbate other ones. Alway remember to "Treat the whole patient, not simply just one of your issues." It is a tough buy important balancing act. ❤️

I'm thinking that while this may be used topically, the skin is considered an organ of the body. The skin has absorptive qualities so this has the potential to enter the body.

I'm apprehensive about using any questionable ingredients because of the potential for self harm. I realize that there is a strong desire for relief of our symptoms but please be careful with what is used. I'm anxiously waiting to hear what Deb has to say.

After doing more searching, I guess there is ways it is prescribed/applied, but I do not know any of it. It shows it can help muscles, aches, and more.
Perhaps Deb can enlighten us, as I had not heard of it at all before.

Google turpentine... It's poisonous if swallowed... Even tho wivestales from days past show it used for many things. The things I personally have used it for, you always wash it off as soon as possible, it's to clean brushes after painting, and such. So, I'm sure it's labeled differently, but,..
