Pomada “Peyote con Arnica”
I am posting this for your general entertainment, education, and amusement (please select relevant category or discard).
In Creel, Chihuahua, I bought (for around $3.50 each) a couple of 120 g. jars of “Pomada PEYOTE con Arnica” which claims to be:“used for twists, dislocations, cramps, rheumatism, decongestion of the muscles, and softening of the nerve fibres.”“Apply before going to bed, and in that way as your body rests the cream will be working.”LOI in actual order, though I rather doubt that it conforms with the usual % priority rules… (grin):(mesquite turpentine, as near as I can guess: “trementina de ocote”) but I am not sure which particular wood, it could be (eg) weeping willow…“guayacol” - neither my wife nor I nor Google Translate knows what this might be.“salicilato” - got to be methyl salicylate.“arnica: - well we all know what that is.“alcanfor sintetico” - camphor“extracto de Lophophora Williamsi” - this is Peyote cactus extract. Please bear in mind this is a rare and slow-growing hallucinogenic cactus.“petrolato” - Petroleum jelly I think, possibly Vaseline.Appearance/ application: like dark green Vaseline.
