: Is this just from the camphor in the mix, or can you see any : difference in oxidation from rubbing on camphor post-paste? There was absolutely no difference in the spots where I applied camphor post - paste with a Q-Tip. I didn't rub, I just dabbed on camphor spirit. : So you think it is the oxidizing of the camphor that made a difference : and not any heat created by the rub (in other words, it would have to : be camphor specifically, not any heating balm would do)? I really couldn't feel any heating effect at all. The amount of camphor spirit in the mix was far less than one would use with a splash on and rub thing. I didn't do any prepping or camphor rubbing, to eliminate that as a heat source. Presumably, both my legs would have been the same temperature under the blankets sleeping. The longer it's going now, the more difference there is between the two. The color isn't different....it's not a dye thing, its a darkening thing. I'm going to do more tests.... The color difference is not as obvious as with/without NS, with/without heat, or with/without a wrap, and it's definitely not the dramatic difference of the ammonia trick, but it IS a difference. Here's what I DON'T know about the camphor spirit test.....was it the 20% camphor that made the difference, or the 80% alcahol that made the difference? That's the next thing to check.
