Croton oil has been used for years and years until of late in various 
veterinary liniments and that is what I want it for. It is a counterirritant.  
I see on the net that it may have some cancer fighting applications too, but I 
have not really studied that aspect of it.

        Croton oil?  Never even heard of it.  The sap of a species of croton is 
called sagro de drago, but that's not an oil.  What is it used for, if you 
don't mind?  And do you mean the same type of croton plant that is sold as 
house plants here in the US?  Sorry--just being curious.
