I am really well & truly into local remedies - I reckon the best thing for arthritis & pretty much any muscular aches & pains is the local Bokashi Rub Oil aka Minyak Oles Bokashi.
Would you beleieve " I even had a local friend of many years from Lovina absolutely insist on rubbing my " Ever so white belly - with this oil when I came down with full on BB earlier this year" She said her Dadong said it would cure anything ! Who was I to argue ?
I have lost count of the number of local Balinese friends who swear by it for almost everything under the sun ! It cost absolute peanuts & is available almost everywhere,we just love it.
Probably a bit like our old wives tales in Australia - no doubt the old Balinese Dadong's & Mother's have their old family remedies that have been passed down through the Mother's of one generation to another !
Who are WE to laugh ? I'll give pretty much anything a try.
