Who it’s for: For anyone whose body runs hot after effort — and who needs something that addresses the heat, not just masks it. The runner who just logged more miles than planned and can feel the inflammation building. The tennis player whose elbow is hot to the touch after a long match. The gardener whose knees are swollen after a full day on the ground.
When to take it: You pushed further than yesterday, and your body is letting you know. The area is warm, tender, or swollen — not the kind of discomfort that needs rest alone, but the kind that responds to intervention. Post-workout, post-yard work, post-sprain, or post-anything that left a specific area in more discomfort than it was before.
What to expect: An immediate cooling sensation that penetrates beyond the skin’s surface, reaching the deeper tissue where inflammation concentrates. Within 10–15 minutes, acute sensitivity in the applied area diminishes noticeably. The formula systematically draws out excess heat rather than simply numbing — meaning the underlying issue is being addressed, not masked. Pairs naturally with rest and elevation for comprehensive post-activity recovery.

Frequently asked questions.
Warming Balm contains herbs that produce heat, designed for more chronic injuries (those lasting 3+ months), and also to help warm muscles before or during exercise. It boosts blood circulation to alleviate inflammation and pain, making it suitable for arthritis, back pain, and muscle and joint stiffness. On the other hand, Cooling Balm is formulated with herbs that dissipate tissue heat from acute injuries or overexertion--similar to how you would use ice. This heat and swelling is the body’s natural response to trauma due to blood leaking from damaged capillaries. Cooling balm not only dispels this heat but also reduces swelling, enhances blood flow, and aids in tissue recovery.
Most customers report a noticeable reduction in discomfort within 15 minutes. Applying the balm when pores are open like after a warm bath or shower or immediately following exercise can accelerate & amplify the effects. It's recommended to reapply the Cooling Balm as necessary until pain is managed. The duration for complete relief largely depends on the injury's chronicity and severity.
For recent injuries, the Cooling Balm is recommended to diminish swelling and pain. It's suitable post-surgery or after accidents, but avoid applying on open wounds or stitches.
Unlikely, but possible. The Cooling Balm contains full-spectrum CBD, which naturally includes trace amounts of THC and other cannabinoids. While topicals are applied to the skin and THC may not enter the bloodstream in significant amounts, they may be detectable, and we cannot guarantee that our products won’t appear on a drug test.
If you’re subject to regular testing or have concerns, we recommend consulting with your testing provider before using any hemp-based products.
