Hi,
Yeah, I'd never even heard of the stuff until the other day on this list.  I 
looked it up though and it does seem like a good product to have around. 
It has lavendar, ucaliptus, and a couple of other ingredience that I can't 
remember right now in it.  I'm going to make sure to have some on hand this 
winter when Remus is most likely to have his first cold.
