Dr. Bronner's - Organic Magic Balm (Arnica-Menthol, 2 Ounce) - Made with Organic Beeswax and Organic Hemp Oil, Relieves and Relaxes Sore Muscles and Achy Joints, Moisturizes and Soothes Dry Skin

Dr. Bronner's - Organic Magic Balm Arnica Menthol is great for sore muscles and pain related to injury, bruises, etc. It works wonders for me. It is not available in Amazon right now. Just in case, if you put a Whole Foods order for this product make sure you indicate No Substitution, otherwise you might get something completely unrelated to the balm.

Amazing product very soothing!

The hidden ingredient is hemp. Works similar to THC/CBD creams from licensed dispensaries - those of you who live in states where marijuana hasn’t been legalized yet know the pain of waiting in line and paying an arm and a leg for a tiny thing of cream in the non legal states.Unlike other reviewers, I actually think this product does NOT make you feel cold and does not have a “tingling” sensation at all compared to other OTC products. I don’t really understand the comparisons to icy hot. It’s neither icy nor hot to me. Doesn’t burn at all on my skin the way icy hot does. Feels more similar to hemp/arnica mixtures - like something from the dispensary rather than any OTC products as I’ve said before.Also unlike other reviewers, I don’t smell anything and my product appears to be unscented - so I’m quite confused about people complaining about any scent or smell? I wonder if I’m just used to using other products with a much stronger smell and this one is so mild that I can’t smell anything. *shrugs*I still think it’s a bit pricey for what it is especially for those of us on a fixed income. It’s not super affordable, but then again, neither is any other arnica cream or hemp cream. It’s way way cheaper than THC/CBD creams from the dispensaries. It also goes on completely clear which is a huge upgrade for me from the pasty white residue that Arnicare leaves. Whether or not it works for bruises I’ll have to wait and see, but definitely works better than Arnicare for pain relief and doesn’t make me as cold (no “tingling” here - not sure if those people are using it on their private parts or something LOL but if you’re looking for a strong cream with a much more mild scent that won’t turn your skin pasty white like Arnicare or are sick of spending $40-50 for the same amount of cream at the dispensary I recommend giving this a try!The only potential hiccup I could see is maybe if you’re low vision that it might be tough to see where you’ve applied it already since it goes on completely clear. That’s a trade off I’m willing to happily make as Arnicare has stained pretty much every bed sheet, comforter, and item of clothing I own and sometimes those stains don’t come out. This stuff is COMPLETELY clear so it shouldn’t stain anything- no more keeping my legs above the covers in bed until the cream dries! No more waiting to get dressed either! For that alone I know I’ll be buying it again, whether or not it helps my bruises heal faster.While it is stronger with less side effects than other OTC creams - I suppose it’s important to mention that nothing topical is going to be the same as a Percocet or Vicodin or other controlled substance. So the people literally looking for pain relief from surgery or something extreme like that… just keep expectations realistic for an OTC topical and you shouldn’t be disappointed.Be careful if you have kids in the house - the canister is not child safe and it is shiny and rainbow colored sort of like a pretty unicorn. I could see young kids trying to get into this. Doubt it would harm them, but for the price you probably don’t want your kids taking it on you.

Love the smell, but it is really oily. Also have to wash it off my hands otherwise it’ll end up In My eyes.

This has been a great product. We bought it for our first aid kit before going camping and it has been quite used! Our kids get scrapes and bumps and lots of bug bites camping, and we have used it on them and on us adults and the balm provides quick relief. It is not magic, and does not heal immediately but it does provide good relief and with constant application does help to speed up the healing process.We have especially liked it when using it on bug bites. We cross country camped and got all sorts of different bug bites (mosquitos, spiders, chiggers, etc.) and this balm helps provide relief from the bites and helps the swelling go down. Our daughter has especially liked it for this purpose, she gets big swelling with any kind of bug bite and this balm helps the swelling go down faster (a few days instead of a month). It also helps provide relief from itching and pain. And as a plus, the nice strong smell helps keep other bugs away for a short time!The smell is pleasant, strong and very peppermintty.The balm is smooth but does not absorb very easily in the skin. You have to give it a few minutes to absorb. It does melt if left out in a hot car or in the sun so be aware of that if using while traveling as well.We have been using it on a constant basis, 4 people, for about 2 weeks now and we have made a good sized dent but I think it would probably last another 2-3 months with the same use we've been doing, so I think it's a really good quantity for the price!The ingredients look clean but do be aware it contains CBD and not just arnica. So if that's something that's important to you, you might want to take it into consideration. I have included a picture listing all the ingredients as well as how much we have used and how much is left for quantity reference.

Soothing warmth on my hands!

Second purchase, use on my hand especially fingers for joint pain at night and put cotton gloves on so I don’t accidentally rub my eyes. It really helps for pain!!! It works!

It didn't do a thing for my sore knee and my husband banned me from the room while applying it because he hated the smell (I didn't mind it). So I used Lubriderm unscented lotion to give myself a nighttime knee massage and that worked just as well.
