Would some of you who are more versed in the use of turps for alternative
healing purposes mind writing about them. The only experience I have had with
them is as a muscle relaxant during a massage... the destruction of my garment,
however, kind of put me off using them.
Thanks.

Most everyone gets theirs at the hardware store, in the paint section.
Just read the labels because they carry both kinds.
There has recently been discovered a new, though more expensive, place
to buy the absolute best turpentine. It's from a mom and pop type artists
supply web store. These people took years and found the only US made
turpentine, done in the old way, in small batches. One of the people that have
been using turp for a while recently got some and said the difference in
taste/smell between 'regular' turp you get in every hardware store, and
this--is incredible. So if you want to just try some turp and won't need a lot
of it, and want the best, go to the link below. It's not that it's super
expensive to buy--about the same price as what you would get in the
store--around $7, but it's just for a much less amount. Thing is, you have to
order $20 worth of product (if you are a painter there are some great products
there, or soap cleaners you may want to try) or you can just order 3 containers
of the turp. But it's worth checking out.

Ok, this is great information! (thank you). Now, where can one mostly
find some natural US 100% pure gum spirits turpentine? In an art store? At a
hardware store? Somewhere else?
