My sis told me about a new (I don't know how new) gel that is supposed to help... she's tried it and found it helpful. I've ordered some to try on my aching back. It has emu oil in it. Supposedly, emu oil has the ability to penetrate the skin and sink in deep in a very short time, thus delivering whatever other ingrediants are mixed in to the area in distress, ie. joints.

I just happened to be reading about essential oils for use as healing agents. The oils must be high grade (not perfume grade). My masseuse uses them and I always feel great when I leave her parlor. I also smell like a salad. But she gave me reading material about the oils. They've been used for many hundreds of years for healing. I'm going to try some for my daughter to see if I can't calm her down. Any one else used oils?
