First, if you're expecting this product to be anything like most of the pain relief creams and balms that you're used to, you might be disappointed. Or, if you're like me, pleasantly surprised. Personally, I was tired of the icy/hot sensations of muscle creams. Those creams are formulated to distract you from the pain by overlapping one sensation (cold or heat) over top of another (pain). Eventually, if you're in enough pain on a consistent basis, that just doesn't work anymore. Plus, you have to go out smelling like menthol, which, let's face it, isn't really appealing.
I have a genetic joint condition, so I'm in pain on a daily basis, and unfortunately it's not limited to one joint. I have pain in my neck, shoulders, knees, ankles, you name it.
First, I admit that I didn't expect much from this roll-on because the label was a little bit quirky. But I was really very surprised at how well it worked. It wasn't instant relief. I've been using it for a few days now, and I feel like the inflammation in my joints is improving steadily with each use. During the first use, I didn't notice too much, but now I definitely see some improvement and overall decrease of stiffness and pain. It smells great too! Here's a list of ingredients:
Tea Tree Oil, Blue Malle Eucalyptus, Vanilla, Olive Oil
I never knew that tea tree oil reduces inflammation, but I did some research on it, and apparently it does! It's also a natural anti-septic as well. Eucalyptus is known to be very soothing and has been used for aches and pains for centuries, so I wasn't surprised to see that on the ingredient list here. As far as vanilla, I thought it was only used to fragrance this, but apparently it is also a natural anti-inflammatory and has properties similar to capsaicin. Who knew!
I'm going to continue using this, and I'm also going to purchase one for my mom as well who is in need of some arthritis pain relief.
I received this product at a discounted rate. My opinion and review is unbiased and honest.
