Here is a possible cheap DIY version of Monkey Holding Peach. As far as I can find out the active ingredients of Monkey Holding Peach are:
Camphor - 22% Menthol - 19% Methyl Salicylate - 3% Eucalyptus - 3% Mix together 1 package each of: Natureplex Muscle Rub (Ben Gay knockoff at dollar store) Methyl Salicylate - 15% Menthol - 1% Vaporizing Chest Rub (Vicks Vapo Rub knockoff at dollar store) Camphor - 4.7% Menthol - 1% Eucalyptus - 1% Heat in a double boiler and add Edible Camphor to get 22% Camphor. Edible Camphor is available at an Indian grocery. Here you get 3.5 oz of Camphor granules for $3.99. The resultant is not quite the same, roughly: Camphor - 22% Menthol - 1% Methyl Salicylate - 7.5% Eucalyptus - 0.5% But it may be close enough. - Steve N -----Original Message----- From: bodhisattva [mailto:bodhisat...@mutemail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 7:40 AM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: CS>ya might wanna know.... Its the camphor in it that kills ticks, camphor is very potent. It used to be, Vicks had a higher concentration of camphor, but the FDA got all angry because it was curing stuff, so they limited any sale in the US to be 10% or less refined camphor. The US version of Tiger Balm is very poor quality, the one you get off Ebay from Thailand, now that's the good stuff. Around 20% camphor! If you have an asian grocery store around, you can find "Monkey Holding Peach" which is even more potent than any of them. It's purely medicinal, and amazing.. Stops pains in seconds, stops headaches. I think it is around 25% camphor, along with other good stuff in it. I have a few satchels of it around here. Vicks today, is a distant cousin of the vastly more effective medicinal Vicks from days past before the FDA tyranny. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
