annathepiperSo I have this bottle of something calling itself "arnica pine salve" which my former chiropractor gave to me some time ago. It is supposed to be good for aiding the healing of bruises and muscular aches, and since I do in fact have some lingering muscular annoyance due to the whole arm thing, I decided to use the rest of this stuff on my arm. I've been smearing it on the last couple of nights and it does seem to be helping some.
But it's also kind of oldish at this point; I've had it for well over a year and I don't know how long this stuff keeps. The bottle has no expiration date on it, but it does smell a little different from when I first got it. There isn't any discernible change in how it works, though.
It's made by a company called Herb Technology, and there is a Seattle address on the label, but these folks don't seem to have a web site so I can't go look them up.
Has anyone heard of this stuff and in a position to advise me on whether I can happily use up the rest of this stuff vs. going to find a fresher batch? Also, anybody know where I might buy more of this or something similar? It's got tincture of arnica in it, and witch hazel, and pine tar, and apparently also turpentine and a couple other things.
