This is a wonderful pain relief balm made by a friend. A portion of her sales from this site will go to a my favorite local no-kill animal shelter! The base ingredients are organic cold pressed unrefined hemp seed oil and natural beeswax. Six powerful essential oils are added to stimulate circulation; white camphor, peppermint, eucalyptus, clove bud, cinnamon leaf, and lavender. The resulting aroma is uplifting and subtle relief is usually felt within 20 minutes (or less) after application. It works…it’s just that simple.
