Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 You can cut the recipe down Gayla.. I did when I made mine. I came across the other and it works good. Both are good... herbalcom.com has arnica flowers and peppermint oil.. Wintergreen oil can be got at a number of places here is one http://www.nowfoods.com/index.php?action=itemdetail & item_id=3671 Suzi Gayla <goatclearing@...> wrote: I printed out the recipe for Deep Tissue Repair Oil and sailed off to town to the HFS to get what I needed. The laugh is on me...they had very few of the ingredients! I asked about Wintergreen Oil (the recipe in the files calls for a quart) and I was shown 2 and 4 ounce bottles of vanilla extract and told they probably did not carry it. So, can someone please repost sources for: Arnica flowers Wintergreen oil Peppermint oil Also I see that Suzi's post on Dec 1, 2004 is different from the recipe in the files. Any comments on this? The one in the files calls for 32 ounces of Wintergreen oil, the one in Suzi's post calls for 1 ounce. And no menthol crystals in Suzi's. TIA!!!__________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wintergreen oil, and Sweet Birch oil, with their high content 98% or so of methyl salicylate, have been shown to be hepatotoxic in large amounts and most wintergreen oil you will find will most likely be sweet birch oil as they are very similar. True wintergreen oil is quite expensive. Camden Gray sells wintergreen oil that is supposedly true but I have my doubts. It is too inexpensive. Sweet Birch oil is much more readily available than wintergreen and therefore much cheaper. As the two are almost identical in content of methyl salicylate you can understand why sweet birch is usually marketed as wintergreen oil. Something to consider anyway. You want to also be careful with mentol crystals as they are not totally benign either. Just words of caution here. Do some research on them on your own and formulate accordingly. Peace be with you Gayla. -- Peace, love and light, Don " Quai " Eitner " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.
