Comment:
I was recommended this 20 ish years ago, by a young arthritis sufferer who says he was completely cured! I used it (a few drips onto v clean fingers and allow to dry naturally) for a few months then cut down gradually as I didn't seem to need it. I now use it for very occasional flare ups and it still works a treat for me.

I used the product when I was about 43 for a brief period(mid80's) . For several years I experienced severe pain radiating from my neck down my shoulder. Like I had an ice pick jammed in my shoulder.
