Apparently, that's the Tea Tree and eucalyptus oil.<br /><br />I whipped out my "The Green Pharmacy Herbal Handbook" and looked up Tea Tree.<br /><br />Amazing stuff. Anti-fungal, anti-yeast - all kinds of stuff. Great on wounds.Chief Instructorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13604561415860237705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-49287026054616770492010-08-19T12:46:30.541-07:002010-08-19T12:46:30.541-07:00Funny your mention of Vicks.

I was thinking the other day about adding it to our supply list as pasting the bottoms of your feet and applying white socks does wonders for chest congestion and the night hacking that comes along with a cold. But with raising a special needs child, we've lately been trying to get away from all the "junk" they put in commercially prepared items. Found this homemade recipe (on the net) for a Vicks sub which incidentally is made up of items I already have in my medicinal supply: 10 drops peppermint oil, 5 drops eucalyptus oil, 2 drops tea tree oil, 2 t almond oil. Apply using a cotton swab. I would imagine that the tea tree oil would give this the same anti-fungal properties as the commercially prepared rub.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-25310301330225603802010-08-19T11:25:28.307-07:002010-08-19T11:25:28.307-07:00I'm telling you, the FoodSavers are absolutely...I'm telling you, the FoodSavers are absolutely amazing. Once the fish were thawed, the flesh still had a nice springy feel to it, the eyes were quite clear. Honestly, they looked better that most whole fish you'll find at the mega-marts.<br /><br />They were cleaned and vacuum sealed about 3 hours after they were caught.Chief Instructorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13604561415860237705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-46397653576134507822010-08-19T11:10:57.901-07:002010-08-19T11:10:57.901-07:003 years, eh.
