Camphor Oil & Ayurvedic Spice Mix

What a morning so far. I've been awake an hour & gotten a lot done, herbal medicine-wise. I bottled the CAMPHOR OIL I had in the crock pot overnight. It was a little strong, so I added more OLIVE OIL. My muscles were in an intense spasm and I thought I might have to see the chiropractor or splurge on a deep tissue massage (in this case it would amount to survival, not self-indulgence), but I used the camphor oil just as a tester and my muscles are basically numb at this point. That is certainly a testimony to it's strength, however it was stinging my skin a bit, so I'm gonna try the batch again in an hour or so, after diluting it a bit. 
Making my morning smoothie, I realized that I'm really missing out on my AYURVEDIC SPICE MIX that I have been adding to my daily morning smoothies for over a month now. I ran out, and now I am so in love with the flavor and how good it makes me feel, the sort of energy boost i get from it, and a basic, clean regenerated feeling (super good for circulation, perfect for starting out the day. Also jump starts your digestion) I get after sprinkling a teaspoonful into the blender with my frozen fruits, nut or coconut milk & green juice. The digestion aspect is major since those spices are mostly also carminative, aiding in the digestive process all around. I think it's really been helping my stomach, aiding my digestion in general, and preventing me from getting sick, since also many of the contents are herbal (plant/food-based) antibiotics. Going to make another batch now so I don't have to miss out again. Here are the contents:
