St. John's Wort Therapeutic Massage Oil

This massage oil is the companion to our Ice Salve Menthol Cooling Balm- this version has a viscosity more suitable for massage, where the balm is better for self application. Made with a base of St. John’s Wort and Poplar bud infused oil. A capsicum extract provides a gentle warming sensation at first, followed by a deep cooling sensation from the menthol. The capsicum and menthol extracts work quickly to dull pain while the St. John’s Wort and Poplar bud oils gradually work their magic as the oil soaks in throughout the massage. Topically St. John’s Wort’s anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antimicrobial and antispasmodic actions make it a great choice for supporting muscle pain, cuts, scrapes, bruises, burns and more. St. John’s Wort also has a reputation for soothing nerve pain, rheumatism and sciatica when used topically. St. John's wort has several active constituents which include hypericin, hyperforin, isohypericin, protohypericin, pseudohypericin and several other flavonoids.
