Phytopia’s natural, *organic* blend of oils and essential oils definitely help reduce pain and inflammation in sore muscles and joints - especially when used over time. While the menthol is still an active ingredient that brings some immediate relief, all of the other organic oils soak into the soft tissue with the help of jojoba and rosehip oil.
I’ve been trying to lose some weight and be more active, so taking long fast walks at least a couple miles a day (after not exercising for far too long) - started taking a toll on the front of my shin muscles. No matter how much I stretched, the weight and new activity was very painful on my anterior tibialis muscle to the point I had to ease back out of fear I’d end up with shin splints (not good). I tried OTC stuff like “icy hot” for instant relief, and also soaked in hot epsom salt to try to keep my leg muscles loosened up.
All those things helped a little, but after 4 days of massaging a little of the Phytopia PainAway oil into my shin and calf muscles before bed, I experienced a noticeable decrease in pain when walking. I also have recurring tendon issues in my wrist, so the next time that flares up I will definitely be applying this natural oil blend. SO much better than chemical alternatives, and I love that close to 100% of the ingredients are organic! The beautiful packaging and printed drawstring bag that it comes in would make a lovely gift as well.
I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review, and sorely needed it!
