LEG SWEATS etc... I have used them ALL..
I got fed up with stuff that cost ALOT and did NOT work.. limited ROI..
SO as those who know me.. I read labels and do alot of reading..
I came up with a CHEAP *mix your own* leg liniment and sweat.. I was going to
market it ..but it was too much trouble.. I called it the RECIPE..
I gave it away.. to a number of riders.. This stuff really works .No *burn*
or any problems what so ever.. but does it ever draw down the legs..
You get all the ingredients (sp) from the ole CHEAPIE drug store..
Here it is;
MIX IN EQUAL PARTS
GREEN ALCOHOL ( methysylicate (sp) a counter-irrentitent) I need a
spell checker ) to increase circulation
WITCH HAZEL old time remedy astringinat ? draws soreness out
BROWN MOUTH WASH.. yes BROWN cheap stuff.. its what inside..
not going to try to spell all that stuff.. read it on the label then
read the label of the high price stuff... same ingredents..
ALOE JUICE from GNC soothing. vascular dialator sp
Cost about $10 per GALLON
The ALCOHOL will cool out the legs or other places where used.
The remaining ingredents will increse blood flow, and reduce fluid build up.
I soak the legs after a work out or ride with this stuff , its cheap. then
wait about 1/2 hr then do it again, but then I wrap with cotton quits and
run-downs . not tight..
Before we go home I take the warps off ., soak again and put on the shipping
boots
The legs look great.. when we get home I soak again and turn her out.
Then I use this stuff every day for 3 days after a ride/race without wraps
unless we get filling..then I warp , softly, with cotton rundowns and turn
her out.
Every one I gave this too has had the same results...good tight legs..
Try it ..its cheap.
I never use a poltice.
Now all that said...
I have been trying some of the Homeopathic leg products.
( I am a new proponent of the Homeopathic Medicine.. it does work)
I am testing with good results a product from HILTON HERB (UK) called
LEG-AIDE
GREAT STUFF.
Witch Hazel, Arinca Comfrey Ruta Grav
For those into homeopathy.. this is very clear.
Arinca pain , inflamation
Comfey herb soothing drawing
Ruta Soft tissue tendons
Been using this most of this season on one horse. After works at home and
rides
Great Results
A bit more costly then the RECIPE
$14 for 500ml (16 oz) ?
a Little goes a LONG way
We carry many of the HILTON HERB products
Post note on hemopathic medicine....another posting later..
We had an incident /accident at the OD50.. see posting later..
We corrected the problem using ONLY homeopathic remedies.. I was tempted to
use the convential stuff..but a vet on the ride..Dwight Hooten who does
alternate treatments..said this would be a good test.. It was ..she recoved
well and her cuts etc have all but healed.. more on that later.
Anyway try the CHEAP stuff first.. We used it for years and still do for all
the workers except my mare. She is my *tester*
