I'll start with the rub.
:grat:
I've spent years climbing trees. One hand, chainsaw, other hand limb (or top, or whatever).
Two months ago I had to cut off my wedding ring 'cause my fingers had swelled so much (and tore up the ligaments).
This rub did not take away all my pain, but it cut it way down!
To me, the biggest benefit was mobility. The morning after a tough day at work, it would literally take hours to get my parts moving again. I usually wake up and honest to God, lifting the coffee pot with one hand is like entering a strongman competition. I'm back on the road! :tiphat:
I'll go into the oils tomorrow, but this rub is good meds.
I haven't used it on my shoulders yet (they where my control ouch), but will tomorrow.
My opinion: If you are lucky enough not to have constant pain, this works dandy to soothe dry skin, my missus loves the way it makes her feet feel.
If you Do live with pain, in my experience, this helps. It has helped me a lot.
I can pour my coffee, lacing up my boots is much easier, I can actually flex my fingers in the morning.... I'm getting misty so I'll shut up.
No smilies this post, I wanted to be dead on serious. (Well, one!)
Many thanks to you, Musturd and Missus.
Life changing.
