Works Surprisingly Well
This balm really does help relieve pain, either in my back, or sore muscles the day after a grueling workout.  I haven't tried it on arthritis, other than my back, but I suspect it also will help with that.  There is a slight cooling sensation, but it seems to work differently than the typical balms or patches that use heat or cooling.  The relief isn't instant, but a little while later, I suddenly remember I had pain that is no longer present.  Currently on sale for around $35 with an instant coupon, I wouldn't consider this to be cheap balm, but it does work for my needs.  Also, the quantity is pretty substantial, as a tiny bit goes a very long way.  I think it's worth trying as a unique product that may work for some people where other products fail.  Its uniqueness may make it another angle of attack in a multi-prong strategy for dealing with pain.  There are zero psychoactive effects as far as I can discern.  The only caveat I have is that it has a yellow hue (probably from the turmeric) and absorbs slowly.  If you get it on clothes or furniture, it could possibly leave stains.  The jar lid is childproof.
