Old Fashion Liniment – Better than Sore No More!

Liniment the way it should be - with a fresh, pleasant and clean smell unlike the horrible smell of some liniments that are loaded with chemicals. Brewed slowly in our herb cottage until done, turning the jar at least twice time per week for best results.

We hand measure all the herbs, and from the photo above you can see the various stages of the brewing process taking place in each of the gallon jars (we now use 2 gallon jars). Our base formula is Arnica Flowers, Blessed Thistle, & Comfrey. Queen of the Meadow, Meadow Sweet & St John's Wort and have added some Tumeric Root as well.

We brew our formula in a very high human grade of Witch Hazel, that is a plant extract used topically and has a very long history of being one of nature’s most potent medicinal plants as well as a carrier for other herbs. Native to North America this plant can also be found in some parts of Asia including China and Japan and yields its therapeutic values from its leaves and bark. The bark, twigs and leaves of the plant are used to extract active constituents that are mixed with either water or alcohol to make a concentrated product known as witch hazel water. Chief among its healing properties is its ability to act as an astringent, providing a number of benefits for skin care, as a carrier to herbs soaked in it to make a tinture more bio-available for healing and it is also known to have the natural ability to reduce puffiness or swelling and more.

It is a good basic liniment or can be used as a brace. Our liniment is made in small batches of 2 gallons each and is hand turned twice daily as it brews in Witch Hazel and about a 6" of 80 proof Vodka. It takes anywhere from 6 up to 8 weeks, or a bit longer for each batch to complete the process, depending on the weather, during fall and winter when it is colder it does take longer and then is hand strained in to gallon jugs.

We make our liniment here at Earth Song Ranch, by hand of course and have tested it for over several year’s time on horses, humans and dogs, Dr. Fenton, DVM recommends my liniment to his clients who he sees in our area for their horses and dogs – he also uses it, everyone who has used our various blends are amazed! It is all natural, made the way liniment should be made, and let to brew until it is done. Everyone who has used it says it is better than Sore No More! He also recommends our homeopathic blend of ARRB given orally for soft tissue injuries! (Arnica, Rhuta, Rhus Tox and Byronia). I leave room in his bottles for him to add a bit of DMSO to the brew.

I use it on my 31-year-old little senior mini, Annie Rose, who has a little arthritis in her little right fetlock which she came to me with and it really helps her to keep going too, I usually rub her knee at the same time along with the fetlock in the morning and last thing at night during fall and winter when she feels it the most. I have also mixed the liniment in some bentonite clay and made a poultice for legs that felt warm or were swollen or on a hoof or sole.

Some lady friends who are needle and crochet enthusiasts have gotten relief in their hands by rubbing the liniment on before they do their crafts and at night before bed. Others with back and sciatica issues have also found natural relief when they have used the liniments too.

This liniment has also been used on dogs who have had injuries to legs and backs, including two Chi's who have had back injuries and could not move their hind ends nor stand up. So after the Dr Fenton, DVM did chiropractic and acupuncture on them, he suggested that the owners use a cotton ball that she put liniment on and apply to his back each night, little Victor is as good as new with all the extra help he received to heal including the liniment and Oliver our most recent Chi is up and walking again! Wish I could insert the before and after videos here to show you all!
