Lion Balm to sooth muscular pains and cold symptoms

This powerful ointment is made to sooth muscular aches and pains. Infused with wild harvested St. John’s Wort and organic Cayenne Pepper for extra deep, natural healing powers. These herbs are also what gives the balm its beautiful orange colour.

Your totally natural and clean alternative to the classic (maybe not so clean) tiger balm. No petrochemicals in here, only the good stuff and more!

Can also be used as a chest rub to relieve symptoms of the common flu and cold.

KEY INGREDIENTS:

St. John’s Wort (Hypericum Perforatum), with its soothing nature, stimulates blood circulation to damaged skin cells. Rich in antioxidants and its anti-inflammatory, astringent, anti-bacterial, pain-relieving and wound-healing properties makes it a powerful healing herb, perfect for arthritis, gout, joint discomfort, and muscle pain.

Cayenne Pepper (Capsicum Annuum) is extremely high in a substance called capsaicin, known to relieve joint pains and other inflammatory conditions. Capsaicin reduces the chemical that delivers pain messages to the brain, and as a result you feel relief. Applying capsaicin to the skin also makes the brain respond by releasing dopamine, the feel-good hormone that offers a sense of reward and pleasure.

Camphor reduces pain through distraction by activating your skin’s temperature sensors and tricking you into feeling cold. There’s only so much input the nervous system can handle in one location, so forcing the body to focus on the chills has the effect of masking the underlying pain. It stimulates nerve endings, sensitive to heat and cold, producing a warm sensation when vigorously applied, or a cool sensation when applied gently.

Menthol is an alcohol extracted from mint oil. Like camphor, it triggers your cold receptors, which might be why it reduces blood flow and swelling—just like an ice pack. Because it also seems to interact with opioid receptors, menthol may have painkilling effects beyond its powers of distraction and inflammation reduction.

Olive Oil is full of antioxidants and vitamins, making it an amazing food also for your skin! It is anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial, moisturizing and anti-aging. Ancient history and modern science agree, it is safe and gentle for even the most sensitive of skins.

Beeswax is an incredibly remarkable ingredient that we love to use and work with.  It protects and moisturizes the skin while at the same time allowing it to breathe. Beeswax is rich in vitamin A and is an emollient, helping to soothe and hydrate the skin. It can help against razor burns and irritations. Good for acne prevention, liver protection, cholesterol stabilization, pain relief, anti-inflammation, stretch mark reducer, anti-fungal, general relaxant and more! It’s the perfect natural choice to give firmness to products like lip balm, deodorant, creams and salves.
