The balm is so great for muscle aches and pains. I’ve used it on myself and my family when sick, sore or bruised and it offers so much relief. My grams always has a really sore back and she loves that it allows the pain to be relieved so that she can fall asleep. She says it works better than anti-inflammatory creams and Vick’s to relieve her aches and pains. I stumbled upon it totally by accident and I’m glad I did! Thanks for a great product!
