Hi Merinda,

 

 

 

I have a question regarding your recipe: you note clove and rosemary camphor

as anti-infammatory. This seems strange to me, because they are

rubefacients, bringing heat to the place where you apply them. An

inflammation is too hot already (hot, red, swollen, pain or calor, dolor,

rubor, turgor are the signs of inflammation). So why make it even hotter

with this oils? How is this going to help? Isn't it better to cool it down?

 

 

 

Sincerely,
