LINIMENTS AND OILS

Liniments and oils have been in existence for thousands of years. They run from your basic feel good muscle rub to penetrating, target-specific formulas. A liniment is an alcohol-based formula, one in which herbs have been soaked in alcohol for an extended period of time. An oil is created in a similar manner, but no alcohol is used. Liniments absorb more quickly and generally have better penetration than oils.
