Old-fashioned home remedies

Arnica salve/horse salve.

Nice and of course refreshing!
Arnica Montana, Camphor, Menthol, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Horse Chestnut and so on.

Nope, I'm currently not sick, I just liked to get something refreshing, because the crappy weather sometimes drives me nuts. Storebrand, I'm honest.
"Pharmacy Quality Level" ;)

But nicely, the menthol and eucalyptus is not too strong! :) I'm suprised about that! They seemingly learned.

There are numerous hallucinogenic plants — peyote, psilocybin, baby woodrose seed, etc. — that might take a person on a, um, spiritual journey(?). I strongly advise against ingesting any of them, especially for the less hale and hearty among us, as I know how fortunate I am to have suffered few lasting ill effects from my more reckless behaviors in my younger days. What I got away with then might well kill me today. I mention this only to point out that humans were “tripping” for millennia prior to the Summer of Love.

This is not to discount the potential for therapeutic uses of such psychoactive substances. But to date the only practitioners of my familiarity offering such therapies might fairly be called quacks.

Especially not the legendary Fly Agaric, it looks good on fairytale pictures but notoriously difficult to judge but then I guess you know that
