Around Christmas Eve I found myself laid up in bed with a sprained muscle. It was not how I expected to be spending the holiday but this is life and things happen.

The sprain was severe enough that even now two weeks into the new year I am still trying to nurse it back to health with physical therapy and constant motion and anyone who has ever had a severe sprain knows that this is not a comfortable task.

So when I can I massage the muscle and apply a nice round of icy hot to help relax it however a few days ago I ran out and mentioned to my friend that I needed to run and get some more to which she replied “No you don't I have something that works just as good.”

So she went to her cabinet and pulled out a small jar and gave it to me. Told me to use it and let her know if I needed more. Skeptical I took it home, used it and was surprised that it worked just as well if not better than the store bought stuff. So of course, I asked her how she made it and have decided to compile the information on the next page for all of you.
