LINIMENTS

Liniments are made to be absorbed through the skin and must never be consumed, but only used externally. The most common type of liniment is one used for aching muscles. To get the herbal remedy into the muscles and ligaments, liniments are made of a mixture of the herb with alcohol or apple cider vinegar, and sometimes are made with an herbal oil. Here is one recipe for a warming and relaxing liniment.

Mix equal parts of Lobelia and Cramp Bark with a little Cayenne and one quart of rubbing alcohol in a container that can be closed. Let this stand for a week, shaking it well every day. Strain the mixture at the end of the week and store it in tightly sealed bottles. Rub a little of this into your tired muscles to relax them.
