Arnica is an herb that belongs to the Sunflower family.  Arnica montana contains Sesquiterpene Lactone, which is a reaction inducing chemical known as Helenalin. It is a major ingredient in many readily available anti-inflammatory preparations that are used to treat bruises, strains and sprains.  The Thymol derivatives in the plant have been clinically shown to be effective vasodilators for blood capillaries...thusly, Arnica enhances the normal healing processes by facilitating transport of blood and fluid accumulations through the vessels.  Like our St. John’s Wort, our Arnica is triple infused in sesame seed oil to make our preparation 3 times stronger than most infused oils.

Clary Sage oil has encountered much success easing depression and nervous burn-out.  This biennial herb is native southern Europe and was known in the Middle Ages as 'Oculus Christi' - the 'Eye of Christ'.  It was a much sought after and highly esteemed medicine during this time period due to the wide range of ailments it treated.  We chose Clary Sage oil for our product as it relaxes damaged, irritated nerves, but it has many other therapeutic properties that include antidepressant, anticonvulsive, antispasmodic, antiseptic, bactericidal, hypotensive, and nerve tonic. It is also good for muscle pains, kidney diseases and the cooling of inflammation of the skin.

Ginger essential oil is extracted from the plant Zingiber officinal and is used to treat a variety of health problems. Ginger is commonly used to treat bruises, arthritis, rheumatism, nerve pain and fractures.  It also posesses very strong anti-inflammatory properties, and you've most likely known it to be used to ease nausea and sea sickness.  Since nausea often accompanies severe pain, we decided to add it to our formula.

Juniper Berry oil is distilled from the dried ripe berries of the Juniper Evergreen tree.  Juniper berries are a mild diuretic, which eases swelling caused by inflammation.  Juniper essential oil also promotes elimination of uric acid, making it an excellent treatment for gout, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, nerve pain and all other generalized aches and pains.

Sweet Marjoram is most commonly known as a cooking spice...but it is very therapeutic when extracted as an essential oil.  It has shown to be successful at treating colds, coughs, muscle aches, nervous tension, insomnia, nerve pain, arthritis, rheumatism, headaches, circulatory disorders, ringworm, shingles, sores, spasms and fluid retention.  Medicinal properties of Sweet Marjoram include analgesic, antispasmodic, vasodilator, calming sedative and hypotensive.  We chose Sweet Marjoram for our formula because it dilates the arteries, affecting the tiny capillary vessels just beneath the skin producing a feeling of warmth which helps tired, tight and painful muscles.  It also helps clear the muscles of toxic waste and in turn helps to reduce the pain of arthritis and rheumatism.  Marjoram is part the mint family and was known amongst the Romans as the "Herb of Happiness".  In Oriental medicine, Marjoram is said to tone and circulate while calming the mind.  Marjoram is also an excellent antibacterial and antifungal agent.

Birch essential oil contains methyl salicylate which is quite similar to the salicylic acid found in Aspirin, and it serves as an analgesic and anestehtic in our formula.  Studies have shown that it also has antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties.  Common uses include muscle pain, nerve pain, arthritis, rheumatism, tendonitis, ulcers, cellulite, hypertension, hepatitis, gout, ulcers and broken or bruised bones.

Vitamin E interacts with other antioxidant nutrients including vitamin C and selenium and functions as the body's primary fat-soluble antioxidant. Vitamin E detoxifies free radicals that form during normal metabolism, stabilizes cell membranes, regulates oxidative reactions, protects lipids from oxidation, and supports the immune system.  We've used it in our formula as a type of 'booster' to enhance the body's natural healing process.
