I want to make my own salve using turpentine and camphor. Does anyone have a recipe?

Question

After searching for so-shur or so-sure and not finding it, I would like to make something like it. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Don't know if this is what you are looking for or not. An early Lethbridge druggist, J.D. Higgenbotham, made this ointment for the flu epidemic of 1918.

2 large jars white Vaseline
2 oz. turpentine
1/4 oz. menthol crystals
2 cakes of camphor gum
1/3 oz. oil of peppermint
1/4 oz. eucalyptus
1/4 oz. oil of wintergreen
Melt and mix well over low heat and store in covered jars.
