Thanks, that's good to know and keep in mind. I'm working on a similar problem myself and put together a potion which includes Bloodroot. Powders of Myrhh in a fine poultice; Licorice, Goldenseal, White Oak Bark and Bayberry Root Bark. Extracts, not tinctures of Bloodroot (45-56% alcohol); Echanechia (no alcohol) Alternately 1 drop of Ti Tree or Lavender Essential Oil used every other application whetted with CS and a drop or two of DMSO mixed until a paste like consistency is attained. I use half a cotton ball elongated. . I find that Tinctures perhaps due to their higher alcohol content seem to be harsher on compromised tissue. Carol Ann
