Interesting Find: Snake Oil

I know the term "snake oil" refers to any type of medicine or product that is bogus, but this is the real thing! Snake oil supposedly has inflammation-reducing properties because fats and oils from snakes are high in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). EPA is an omega-3 fatty acid by the way.

So, where'd I get it? Dalilredmama recently traveled to Haiti and received both Castor oil (a.k.a L'huile Mascreti) and Snake oil. She was told to mix the oils for better results. Even though I'd rather have just the Castor oil, the mix is just fine. I'm kind of scared to try it though... We'll see...

By the way, the picture to the left is an actual picture Dalilredmama took while driving around in Haiti. It's absolutely beautiful!
