Ther is also the essental oils of clove and cinnamon. Use EXTREMELY SPAREINGLY as these are volitoile oils. Sorry I can't remember the spelling and down't want to go downstairs for the book. Place a few drops at a time in a small amount of light oil. Canola cooking oil is a good carrier oil. It is light and easiely absorbed. Mix this in a small bottle with a lid. Shake a while, smell, and test on yourself. If you can't smell any cinnamon add some more. When you get a nice scent, test somewhere delicate on yourself. THEN WAIT A WHILE!!! This is an oil so will soak in. It will take time to warm up. Also check if reapplication to the same spot will increase the "burning" sensation. Keep checking it out and adjust accordingly. I have only used this for aromatherapy and in healing so that is the best I can tell you. However I can add this last bit of information and you can see where your happy little heart takes you. When I was a kid we used to buy a small vial and soak the ends of toothpicks in them to suck on, no gum in school and kids aren't into mints. Sort of like Big Red and Dentine gum. Only you controlled the burn. Continued reapplication, or a longer soaking (less control with the outcome, trust me I know) increases the burn dramatically. The oil soaks into the wood you see. So your mouth would give you a fairly accurate understanding of how this will feel. Makes dowel rods come to my mind. This must be let dry thourougly before use. Direct pure oil contact on skin can cause 2nd degree burns. So use EXTREME CAUTION!!! Enjoy, Anabella
