Hi there,

I have been making balms and ointements for my family and they include Hypericum perforatum and capsicum infused oil, and rosemary essential oil to help alleviate pain. I have had great success with this formula, however I am wondering about topical use of these three ingredients in a person on heart, blood pressure or MAO inhibitor medication. I have taken my herbal consultant certification and I do know that taking these internally may cause risk, however I am unsure about the topical aspect. My grandmother is on blood thinners, as is my uncle, and they would both like to use the product, however I have not let them due t my concerns. Medical doctors that I have spoken to about it, do not seem to know the answer (as I suspected). Please advise, thank you.
