Apparently on old farms a century ago families used to drink kerosene to de-worm, thank god we don't have to do that anymore.

I've recently looked into the healing powers of Turpentine 100% pure gum spirits. Verbatim.
No fillers.

IIRC: It's distillate (from the old school stilling; conceivably DIY) of spruce pine needles.

Likely, the stuff of southern legend.
Stories of the plantation owner's daughter dying, and having exhausted all available alternatives he turns to the slaves for one of their cures.

The unlikely pine needle potion is consumed.

The young girls fever breaks, and she's awake by morning.

I'm currently trying it, and can say that it's on par with diatomaceous earth (which I started with first).

I've been topically applying it to ingrown hairs, and pimples, and whatnot. Handling out makes my hands, cuticles and fingernails feel cleaner. Healthier.

I've been running out of hairs and irritations to try it on.

Not exactly scientific, cause it's a diatomaceous-turpentine combo.
Results trump "science".

Also, legit science is awesome.

The wisdom of the ancients warrants a look by a non-medico-pharma interest.
The original source documents, and good ol gumption..

Black walnut oil is on the menu.

Edit: I forgot to include the exceedingly credible Turpentine 100% pure gum spirits DIY source.
