This ointment was formulated for a curandera who asked me to provide a topical that could serve the same place as fire in breaking up stagnant energy and driving out undesirable entities and energies.
It is a conjuration with the elementals and spirits of fire and so is appropriate for fixing or anointing anything with a fiery energy. I use it on my hands and head before doing hot work as a warm up, and it's effective in driving off a whole host of nasty spirits.
You can think of it as a hot and fiery complement to camphor/menthol/eucalyptus.
Medicinally it is great for joints, swelling, and driving out colds. It contains ingredients selected for their ability to kill infections, increase circulation, reduce swelling, and break up inflammation.
