A warming and cooling herbal salve for hardworking, worn-out muscles.
 
After a long day on your feet, a hard workout, or a stretch of carrying tension in your shoulders and back, sometimes a muscle just needs focused attention. This is a rich, melt-in salve made for exactly those spots, with a warming-and-cooling blend you feel the moment it goes on.
 
It's built on sunflower oil slowly infused with arnica, comfrey, dandelion, yarrow, and ginger, the traditional herbs for tired, overworked muscles, in a soft salve base that melts on contact and works in under massage. The essential oils do the rest: cooling peppermint, warming wintergreen and clove, and soothing helichrysum.

FAQ
What does it feel like? A warm-and-cool sensation at the same time, warmth from the wintergreen and clove, cool from the peppermint. That combination is the signature feel of a classic muscle rub.
 
Where should I use it? On larger muscle areas: shoulders, upper and lower back, calves, thighs, and forearms. Keep it away from the face, throat, and any sensitive or thin-skinned areas.
 
Is the scent strong? Yes, it's a bold, minty, herbal scent, that's the nature of a muscle salve. It settles down within a little while after applying.

Not for use during pregnancy or nursing.
Not for anyone on blood thinners, or with an aspirin or salicylate sensitivity, since wintergreen can add to those effects.
