Not for Wussies

Check this out.

I received a sample of a new product today, something I want to test out in my massage practice. It’s an Ayurvedic muscle balm.  To quote the supplier’s website: “Essential Oils of Camphor, Peppermint, Ajowan, Eucalyptus, Nutmeg, Wintergreen, Clove and Cinnamon in a base of Beeswax.” Sounds good already!

It looks fairly innocent.

But looks are deceiving!

Wow, just wow. 

This stuff is strong.

It makes Tiger Balm look like Kitten Rub.

And it leaves you smelling like a yummy Indian restaurant.

I can see this as being useful not just for muscle aches, but also as a chest rub for relieving the congestion associated with colds and flu. 

This won’t be for sale in the Etsy shop because it isn’t handmade by me and doesn’t quite fit into the “Supply” category either.  It will be available by “prescription” to my in-person clients, though.
