It left my skin so soft and silky.<br />God bless.<br />RB<br /><><<br />RBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053380234618898848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-32072098579724718432015-11-07T15:30:09.446-08:002015-11-07T15:30:09.446-08:00You might be able to email Mountain Rose Herbs and...You might be able to email Mountain Rose Herbs and ask them.

She does a lot of running and hurt her ankle back in basic training. I gave her only one, and she said it worked great on her ankle. I grind it up in my food processor, add a tiny bit of flour to make a paste (you can use chia too). I spread it on gauze, wrap it up and freeze it in a zip bag. Then you place it on the sprain, previously broken bone, or bruise. I had her wrap it with saran wrap to keep the juices in place and from making a mess. The second one I made was used the same way for another daughter's friend (sprain). Works very well.Pioneer Woman at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533698959389851926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-48627068649849307462015-11-05T04:47:16.161-08:002015-11-05T04:47:16.161-08:00Glad to see you got another item checked off the l...Glad to see you got another item checked off the list of winter prep.
