Our Cooling and Soothing Balm is designed for use on specific body areas. While not intended as an all-over Massage Wax, it applies easily and is commonly used by professionals for deep tissue work and after strenuous activity.
Arnica, Hypericum (St John's Wort), Yarrow and Chamomile are known to have anti-inflammatory properties. Menthol provides a cooling sensation and Yarrow gives the formula its distinctive blue colouring. The colour of Yarrow varies, so everything from a pale greenish blue to an azure blue in the final product is normal. This depends on the geography and weather at harvest, and the method of distillation.
This balm has a much higher percentage of Arnica in it compared to our Massage Waxes. It is our premier product for Sports Injury work and is commonly used by Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Sports and Remedial Therapists and sports men and women themselves, especially after a rough, bumpy and strenuous game.
It has a very pleasant scent and is often used after marathons, rugby and football games, and sports in which repetitive movement and contact are common problems.
