    "Cell Salts"??? Na-Cl IS common table salt...they probably removed all the

     valuable minerals from same and SOLD it as an "HEALING SUBSTANCE"???
      Yikes what a RIP-OFF!  There ARE some herbals  commonly available and
usually
      grow in most wild areas ( except one)  MULLEIN, Horehound, usually are
found i
      in the wild but can be purchased from a GOOD Herbal company!  A close
relative
      that I ADD to the afore-mentioned is "Lamb's Ear". An astringent and
.another
      "hairy-leafed" herbal as they ALL  are  I also add RED CLOVER..a KNOWN
      anti-oxident and skin healer.
      A minute pinch of Ceyenne assures healing!  Take equal parts, "Bruise"
and simmer
      for 10 minutes..filter when cooled and  bottle and keep in a cool place.
GOOD STUFF
      MAYNARD!!!  It has kept me HEALED now for over 10 yrs after 40 yrs of
MISERY!
      All to whom I've given this recipe have been blessed with its' healing
qualities.  B-0b1
