My memory was correct as to the concoction in the bottle at my Grandpa’s house. It was cedar twigs, cedar berries, and kerosene that was used as a muscle rub and on cuts, scratches, etc. My mother remembers her dad rubbing sore muscles with it, but not using it herself that much. My husband decided to try it using alcohol as we couldn’t get hold of any kerosene. It is pleasant to use and has a great smell. (More testing is necessary before we can report on the effectiveness!) The essential oils in many plants are so beneficial! That’s why we use them in many of our bath and body products. The fragrances are not only pleasant, but the oils themselves are good for our health. Bye for now…… ECB
