Sore Muscle Salvation

Size: 30 mL/1 oz glass jar

Formulated for aching muscles and deep tissue work, Sore Muscle Salvation is for those whose aches and pains respond to heat. This rich, red salve is made using warming, pain-reducing cayenne, nerve-pain reducing St. John's Wort, warming ginger, muscle-soreness reducing arnica and an essential oil blend that provides its own healing heat. Cayenne has been used as both food and medicine for over 9,000 years; its active ingredient, capsaicin, has pain relieving properties when applied to the skin. Capsaicin works to reduce pain by blocking or lessening the level of substance P, a neuropeptide that travels to the brain to signal pain. Both cayenne and ginger stimulate blood flow, increasing circulation and healing to affected areas; our warming essential oil blend also promotes relaxation and stress-reduction, helping to ease tightly-bound muscles.
