Green Rubbing Alcohol Baths?

A co-worker of my DH's has fibro really bad and she told him that taking a warm bath in green rubbing alcohol really helps her. Has anyone tried this and if so, what is your opinion? How much would I have to put in my bath water?


Thanks,
Lindy

I bought some.
**$2 at WM. It is 70% isopropyl alcohol, wintergreen, glycerin, and methyl salicylate**

I am not going to add it to my bath water!! ekkkk
I am going to rub it in to the bad places & see what it will do for some temporary relief.

I would be scared to take a bath in it but would rub it all over. I like those Salonpas (sp?) thingys that are like little dots that I put on my sorest areas. I get them at Walmart or Walgreens. They are in the section with bengay or those heat wraps.

Just my personal opinion but doesn't sound too healthy to me. The skin must absorb the alcohol which has to be dangerous. Seems to me there has to be a better safer pain relief.

it does not burn and it is sooooo soothing and relaxing.  And I have fibro also.  I do know that for sore, aching muscles it has helped me. I usually pour half a bottle into a full tub of bath water and just sit back.  Instead of Calgon, I just ohh greehol take me away!!! And it does gives me that relief I am looking for.   Has never burned me .

OH YES, I use it at least once a week, and no it does not burn. I am sure that if you put too much in your bath water that it could/would burn.
I thought the same thing when a co-worker suggested it, but to my surprise, it does not burn.
I usually put half a bottle in a full bath and I always add it before the tub is completely full, and it has never burned me. I especially like to wait until bedtime. It is calming and relaxing.
