NATURALLY ANTI-INFLAMMATORY S(OOTHING)CREAM STICK WITH ORGANIC INGREDIENTS
Less pain “naturally” is gain.TM Many pain relieving creams reduce pain temporarily, but can have
undesirable side effects, and/or have negative impact on natural ecosystems, and/or use may be
banned/prohibited. Muscle/sports cream (stick) arnica and vitamin E soothe sore muscles before/after
exercise, or as part of a relaxing massage with premium natural ingredients. Organic [cocoa butter,
menthol crystals*, plant-based oils (olive, rosemary, and sunflower), and bee-friendly, yellow beeswax].
Cacao beans, 380 compounds (include polyphenols and theobromine), are 54% cacao (cocoa) butter, antiinflammatory, antioxidants relieve pain and reduce chemokines, cytokines, nitric oxide (NO), ROS, and
other inflammatory molecules. Anti-inflammatory (anthocyanins/catechins/flavonol glycosides/
procyanidins) relieve pain through modulation of opioidergic (neurotransmitter/receptor) mechanisms
and by activating GABA (see notes below) and serotonin receptors, and NO pathways. Beeswax antiinflammatory, antimicrobial flavonoid chrysin inhibits the NF-κB pathway, reducing iNOS, and TNF-α,
IL-6, IL-1β, and modulates inflammatory pathways involving COX-2 and JNK. FDA (approved and
GRASE) topical analgesics (pain relievers) camphor and menthol provide analgesia (inability to feel pain
without loss of consciousness) through a counterirritant effect, by activating/then desensitizing sensory
receptors; camphor activates TRPV1 (sensitive to heat) and TRPM8 (sensitive to cold), creating a dual
effect of cool and warm sensations, menthol activates TRPM8; leading to a reduced perception of pain.
Flowering plant arnica (150+) bioactives chlorogenic acid (CGA), fatty acids, flavonoids, sesquiterpene
lactones modulate processes that influence inflammatory reactions and thymol derivatives to provide pain
relief/management. CGA can curtail the release of inflammatory cytokine TNF-α and interleukin
derivatives by thwarting the activation of macrophages/monocytes. Its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive sesquiterpene lactone helenalin can selectively inhibit NF-κB (pathway that regulates
proinflammatory cytokines), leukocyte (white blood cells that protect body from infection) recruitment, or
cell survival, important contributors to the inflammatory response. Arnica has comparable activity to
(synthetic NSAIDs) diclofenac and ibuprofen for pain management (Widrig, 2007) with fewer adverse
effects, and helps with acute/chronic pain management. Analgesic effect of vitamin E is mediated by
reducing central sensitization in nerve pain. ROS are critically involved in neuropathic pain. Vitamin E
can provide pain relief by combating the free radicals caused by the metabolism of oxygen during exercise.
How to use: Adults and children twelve (12) years old and older (for younger children consult your
doctor before use) massage gently on affected area, repeat three to four (3 -4) times daily if needed, do not
cover or bandage, do not use heating pad
Ingredients: ORGANIC COCOA (THEOBROMA CACAO) SEED BUTTER, ORGANIC YELLOW BEESWAX (CERA
FLAVA)**, ORGANIC SUNFLOWER (HELIANTHUS ANNUUS) SEED OIL, CAMPHOR (CINNAMOMUM
CAMPHORA) TREE BARK OIL, ORGANIC MENTHOL (MENTHA ARVENSIS) CRYSTALS, ORGANIC OLIVE
(OLEA EUROPAEA) FRUIT OIL, ARNICA (ARNICA MONTANA) FLOWER EXTRACT, VITAMIN E
(TOCOPHEROL), ORGANIC ROSEMARY (ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS) LEAF OIL.
No artificial or synthetic preservatives. *Mint oil from mint leaf, extracted, distilled, then frozen. Freezing of the oil causes it to
crystalize, forming menthol crystals. **Premium beeswax harvested at a low rate, so there is no adverse effect on the colony.
CAUTION: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and mouth. If irritation occurs, discontinue
use. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Notes: amino acid GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) functions as the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter for the central nervous system,
reducing neuronal excitability by inhibiting nerve transmission. Cacao purine alkaloid theobromine and flavonols 6-methoxyflavanone, 6-
methoxyflavonone, and quercetin can modulate the GABAergic system and potentially reduce pain.
