A variation of the popular Tiger Balm formula from Korea, this balm is at once warming & cooling. Apply gently to the temples to help relieve a headache, massage into achy joints & muscles to alleviate the pains of sprains, strains, & arthritis. A small amount applied under the nose can help relieve congestion, as can a larger amount applied to the chest & throat.
Do not allow balm to come into contact with mucous membranes or use around the eyes; it will cause uncomfortable burning.
With stretch marks, the point is to keep them from occurring in the first place. This balm was originally developed for a young friend of mine & is comprised of a number of rich oils that keep the skin supple and elastic. Violet Leaf is an excellent herb for skin health; Chamomile & Lavender essential oils are added for their therapeutic qualities as well as their calming scents.
This has been a popular everyday hand & body balm as well. You don't need to be pregnant to treat yourself to the best.
A very strong liniment salve for relief of muscle & joint pain. Start with a small amount & be patient. It takes a bit longer to start working than commercial brands, but when it does the hot/cold effect is intense. As one friend of mine put it, "I was sitting there thinking it wasn't going to work and then WOW!!!" I use it myself for thoracic nerve pain in my neck and shoulders - it's a charm.
