I just wanted to add I found some safety precautions that should be upheld when working with Sulfur on someones Fotki
http://public.fotki.com/nurseN98/sulfur-mix/sulfur-recipe/fotki021.html


******SAFETY INFO (copy & pasted from another info sheet)******
"Make sure the sulfur is precipitated (which is also called'sublimed' or 'flowers of sulfur' and many other names). You can mix your own because it is really cheap that way, but be sure to mix it well with an electric mixer or in a blender. Don't breathe in any of the sulfur powder. Use a face mask. If you have protective goggles this would be good too...Just in case the sulfur powder flies into the air by accident. It will burn the heck out of eyes, nose and mouth. Be careful. Also see that the powder does not get on your skin. And clean the blender really well afterward...Some people are allergic to sulfur ointment. It is very important to get the percentage right. An
8% mixture might not make a person react when a 10% mixture does make them react. Also, anything over 10% sulfur if mixed incorrectly can make almost anyone have an allergic reaction. It has to be made correctly."
If you use a blender, add the powder little by little - by the spoonful, take care to avoid dusting - and slowly as you would when making a mayonnaise.

Myjourney2009,

Excellent addition to the thread. Thank You.

This should be a sticky!

Crysdon posted this recipe in the BT Gate thread:

I just received the recipe from someone, so I'll share...

2 teaspoons sulfur
4 oz jojoba oil
3 oz olive oil
4 oz coconut oil
10 drops essential oil (your choice)

Directions: Put sulfur in bottle first, then add oil. Shake well. Use like BT.

**All these ingredients can be found at amazon.com. However, www.americarx.com sells the sulfur powder for a cheaper price.**
