What are Medical uses for turpentine?

Answer 1

About 30 years ago, I got a swollen gland in my neck and my grandmother used it as a rub for this gland. Within a couple of days the gland had gone down. It did work. The thing is that you don't want to use regular turpentine, like in the paint department. You have to use the medical turpentine that is available in small bottles in the small old time drug stores.
