Review (5/5): An All-Natural Pain Neutralizer that gets 2 Thumbs Up in our experiences and home
Let me first of all say that Pain is the body's way of telling you that something is wrong, and that you should respond with a treatment that behooves the problem. Don't expect this product to miraculously heal something that is broken or badly sprained. However, you may have good success temporarily "erasing" the pain from over-use of muscles or whatever, and may allow you to be able to sleep when that is not possible without having applied it. As you heal when you're sleeping, this can be a real advantage.
The body can quickly learn to expect a continuation of pain from a minor problem, and it will linger on and on, even becoming chronic as you change your posture or gait to accommodate the ache or pain. My experience has been that if you can reduce the pain even temporarily (especially) in acute situations, it may break the cycle and never return. People we have spoken with have also experienced relief with chronic aches and pains.
In addition, some users have reported that it is effective with masking the pain of fibromyalgia.
Some reviewers here have complained about the smell - duh - it's from the natural oils. I think it is a pleasant smell, but it is a bit oily, so if you put it on before going to bed, give it some time to soak in, and cover it to reduce the amount that transfers to your sheets. You may also want to use less than more and will find that a little goes a long way. And - oh yes- it won't cause you to fail a drug test as many OTC remedies do.
I have used this product personally for more than 10 years, have given it to older family members, and given dozens of the towelettes to strangers who were in dire need of quick relief - never with a complaint. I strongly recommend it with the above caveats.
One size doesn't fit all, but if you are one of the vast majority that are not allergic or bothered by any of the natural oils used in its manufacture, you may find comfort and relief in what it can do for you.
