When my Lemon Balm has matured this summer (it SHOULD be mature by May sometime, though it seems to be growing very slowly, albeit's in a pot outside during the day, and I pull it inside when evening falls) I was planning on making it into a liniment (as well as a cheesecake, etc.!) for my leg muscles, because I walk and job to stay fit (well, I'm trying, anyway). So, I'd like to produce a liniment that has a body and structure, so that when I pour it into my hands it wont run through my fingers and get on everything, etc. Ya' know what I mean? Sadly, Purell doesn't list what they use to thicken up their wonderful product!
