User Reviews for turpentine oil

Both sides of my family have used Turpentine (like you buy at the hardware store) for deep cuts and gashes. I have used it many times in my 60 years and it significantly reduces pain and soreness - especially the next day. Oddly enough it has ZERO sting - much less than water does. It's always hard to get the uninitiated to try it but for the half dozen times I have - they are always amazed at how it works. I also remember as a kid that you could buy Turpentine in little brown bottles in the drug store. Read More Read Less

1 tsp of turpentine daily (orally) cured me of acid reflux.

Used to treat intestinal parasites. Very effective.

My mother used this on cuts and scrapes when we were growing up. I currently am using it applied with a Q-tip to my big toe to relieve soreness. It has helped tremendously.

I have several health issues. My number one problem is leg,lower back and joint pain in shoulders. Dr. J M Mc Clean volcanic oil really works for me,and I use it 3x a day. The best over the counter medicine I've ever used. It even helps with the diabetic pain in my feet. Love it and can't keep enough of it around.

I used 1 teaspoon of Turpentine in 3 sugar cubes daily for 10 days to clean up my gut. It really helped with my food sensitivities and brain fog.

the relief of the pain

I'm getting back into shape. I've been very sore. I have to say this helps with the soreness and the pain! You don't need a lot just dab some and rub it in.

Painful boil on leg. No money for doctor. Tried ever home-remedy but only Turpentine stopped the pain when rubbed on the area.

I have used this since I was a kid on any bumps or bruises as soon as they happen. Amazing the way it takes away the pain.

traditional Chinese linament - works well for short term relief of muscular pain without the burning and discomfort of methanol and capsicum ointments (aspercream)

worked for me

I put 2 - 4 drops of turpentine in 4 oz of warm water and gargle with it to relieve sore throat and swollen glands. I do this up ton3 times a day for upnto 3 days and it works fantastically. Usually only have to use it 2 times and swelling soreness subside.

good

Used for back pain - and found it to be ineffective for me. I broke my back in 96' (no surgery) and often experience lower back pain. Over the years I have tried numerous treatments to ease the pain...save your your time on this one. Camphor is still the most effective treatment for me.
