Deep relief from pain, relaxes muscles UPDATE: Still great :)
Found this particular product from TikTok, but have been around similar products growing up. Think tiger balm, the star balm, tiny little metal tins filled with a waxy, strong-smelling ointment. I like this a lot better. Great alternative to Icy Hot and Ben-Gay, if you don't like how those work. If you're sensitive to chemical/topical pain relief, this might be an option for you. The consistency is like a very light hair gel. It dries within a few minutes so you can put clothes over it soon. The smell is very mild compared to the other balms I mentioned, a slight peppery scent. You need so little for it to be done with effective. Use the smallest amount with the thinnest application and wash your hands. Wait 15-30 minutes for it to start working before you decide to apply more. Do not make the same mistake I did and apply too much because it's "not working" or you will feel like you doused yourself in hot sauce for about two hours. Every person, every part of the body will need different amounts of product and it will take different amounts of time to take effect. Play around, see what works for you and your body parts. Don't say "it's not working" and use more too soon. 😛 If you have joint pain, especially chronic joint pain that responds to heat or gets worse when it's cold, this is the BEST thing I have found. The warmth actually penetrates the joint deeper than anything I've tried. It's a pleasant heat if you work to find what works for you and don't go overboard. You can get pretty targeted with your application, putting it on specific points or layering on more on certain spots. I actually cried a little the first time I used it for joint pain because I haven't felt that sort of relief. The warmth goes deeply and helps relax all the strings and bobbles that make up that body part. I've used it on larger aching backs, tight calves, necks that are stiff, and it's surprisingly effective. It's not a sudden shift, but a more gradual easing of aches. It's great on tight muscles that won't fully stretch out or refuse to relax no matter how much you knead--it relaxes the muscle and allows you to do what you need to recover. I have yet to try it on an actual muscle cramp, but I think it might actually work, allowing that muscle to relax so you can stretch it out. I've gotten a few people to try it, while at first they don't think it's working, it gradually soothes what ails them. One person tried a tiny amount once without effect, worrying about skin reaction. There was no reaction, but also no relief, and they also haven't tried it again with more product. Just so you know. People who are sensitive to topical creams and balms, even to the point of chemical burns, might be able to use this. Someone who has this issue tried it without adverse reactions. It shouldn't hurt, but you'd also need to check if it works. Overall this is a solid product. The plastic tub is the size of a jar of hair gel or a smaller than an average tub of frosting. It will last you a while. I'd say if you covered yourself with a thin layer every night, it would last about 2-3 weeks. So for a more typical use, it might last a few months. It's been nice to reach for this, and leave the painkillers and heating pads for rarer occasions. If this seems like what you need or have been looking for, I highly recommend you try it. It's completely worth the money. Maybe go in with some friends to try it, if you're not sure, because it's likely that at least one of you will find it useful. :)

It’s like Fire 🔥
I suffer from knee pain (osteoarthritis). Bought this to relieve the pain. But Holy Moly!!!! This thing BURNS. It’s so strong, it penetrates to the bone. If you have sensitive skin, skip it. I wanted to use it on my 82 yr old FIL but it will definitely burn his delicate aged skin. If you’re a female, do not use after shaving. I made that mistake and paid for it. Other than this, it really does relieve the pain. After 1-2 minutes of applying, you’ll feel it start to warm up then progressively get hotter. The next reaction is “what the heck….oh no!” But by the next day, you’re feeling better. Hope this helps anyone. Oh…, one more thing, don’t rub it in to your skin so much, just apply. You’ll thank me later.

Be very caution
Wear gloves or wash hands and anything u touch between once u finished applying it to til u washed ur hands.. Don't wear clothes over the area u applied this to, get wet by warm/hot water (it'll burn more) sit out in the sun (it'll burn alot more) or apply anything else to area Over all this works get.. varicose veins and disappearing, veins are showing to look more normal, circulation improving

Good. Hot.
This warned me WAY more than I anticipated. I put it on the back of my thigh and calf, then sat with my leg folded. I don’t reel the heat right away, but oh boy when it kicked in it was HOT. Also, don’t shower because hot water just makes it hotter.

Will buy again
So far has worked great. Was prescribed a topical gel for arthritus pain in shoulder but worried about side effects so probably not using prescription. Found this stuff and its doing a great job, so I will stick with what works.

Strange stuff, but I like it!
This stuff is really weird! It’s not sticky and is a gel like hair gel or something. It definitely had a “strong effect” as advertised but sometimes it feels just really warm (like standing next to a fire), and other times it’s just sort of tingly and almost itchy. I’d say the feeling lasts 10-15 minutes or so. I really like it but it’s definitely not like other muscle balms I’ve tried.

I really like this product! You don’t need to use much to get a great warm feeling where you apply it. Good value for the price. I have used other products that do much the same thing but cost more.

It can be relieve pain
My shoulder was very painful, and I applied the ointment to the affected area. At first, my skin felt very spicy and hot. It did relieve the pain! But it only relieved the pain, not completely cured it!

Wear Gloves and rub into skin!
I was told that this stuff is amazing and feels like a heating pad for over an hour. I tried applying this gel and it did nothing. I tried again with more gel and rubbed it into my skin for about 30 seconds. My skin feels like a heating pad is on it and set to high. This stuff works with rubbing!

magic medicine
I bought a bottle online that claims to be a miraculous pain reliever for joint pain, but it only provides temporary relief and doesn't address the root cause. It seems to work for pain in all body parts. 我在网上购买了这瓶可以神奇般缓解关节痛的药物，但它只能提供暂时的缓解，不能解决根本问题。我用它对身体各个部位的疼痛，都有效。

Sciatica
Gets HOT and powerful. No scent. Lasts over a hour. Use gloves to rub in well, don't touch eyes or face if it gets on your hands. When sciatica acts up, rub and stretch my lower back with tennis ball, ice for 20 mins, tens unit for 20 min, then apply this stuff before bed with an ibuprofen, by morning I'm superman again

Works well on sore muscles
I use this mostly for my elderly dog when she gets sore legs. It definitely helps her. I wish it was in a squeeze tube. The stuff is messy and hard to use the right amount out of the jar.

Doesn’t work for everyone
Recommend by a friend telling me this helps relive back pain. It didn’t help with my pain upon first use. In fact, it didn’t work any time I use it. It takes a couple of minutes for your skin to absorb this gel, which is a hassle when you are very tired and just wanna go to the bed quickly.

So disappointed. I’ve ordered this before and had no problems. Got my package and the box was intact, no damage…but opened the contents to a mess. The bottom of the container is cracked and the product was all over the plastic wrap. NOT HAPPY. How does one even return this mess?

This gel gives a nice, strong warming effect and really helps with sore muscles. It absorbs quickly and isn’t too sticky. The heat feels great after a long day. I just wish it lasted a little longer, but overall it works well and I would still recommend it!
