Anyone with aches and pains is looking for relief.  My aches and pains are continues and move randomly about my body. As I have discussed in previous posts, I have many tools in my pain management toolbox.  When another thing is suggested, I come at it with suspicion.  Especially if they tout pain removal.  Being I'm married to a recently retired FDA Investigator, I have to be extra judicious with what I chose to try.

I have tried a couple other topical, cream pain relief: good ol' Bengay (eww, can't take the smell) and a magnesium body butter (great going on but leaves a dried salt layer on my skin which made me feel I had to wash it off).  Both seemed to help.  However, I gave up on them due to the above side effects that I didn't' enjoy. 

Why I Could Use a Pain Relief Cream

Opening the box, I was excited to give this my best effort try.  I did not expect miracles, but if it could calm down muscle pain with a discreet cream, then I would be pleasantly surprised. Much of what I do for pain management is time-consuming and not plausible when I'm out and about: yoga, meditation, Epsom salt baths, hot tub, myofascial release with rubber balls and a foam roller, and massage, etc. So, finding something I could carry in my purse to pain as it pops up would be handy.

I'm not going to lie, it would be really nice to have enough of this stuff to slather on my whole body, but that's not realistic.  Having the 4 fl. oz tube in my purse, though, allowed for me to soothe the loudest spots like my neck, shoulder, hip, or calf.

My First Experience with Aromalief Hemp Cream

Last Tuesday, I was in my office writing. I love to write, but typing at the desk can cause pain to begin, especially when I don't take the time to stretch. I had gotten the cream the night before, so when my shoulder and neck began to hurt at 9:30am, I decided to give it a try. I was determined to get my post written.

What I noticed first were the creamy color and the scent. I had the Lavender scented calming version. They also sell an energizing citrus-scented cream, a soothing spearmint-scented cream suggested especially for head pain, and a mildly scented cream for those with scent sensitivities.

 Calming Lavender, Energizing Orange, and Soothing Spearmint 

I found the calming lavender the scent pleasing: the lavender mixed with a touch menthol scent was not overpowering. I do not wear perfume and the lotion I usually use is Aveeno, so I'm not partial to strong scents. As I sniffed it in, I also could sense a bit of beeswax smell which I love. When I checked the ingredients, there wasn't any honey or beeswax, so it may be due to the almond and hemp oil they've added.

The feel of the lotion is what I really loved. It's rich and silky-smooth which soaked right into my skin, leaving nothing but nourished skin. My skin with aging and spending a lot more time in the summer sun and lake water, has become noticeably dry. This lotion definitely replenished my skin so it wasn't ashy looking. I soon realized that this was wonderful extra to use when massaging my calf and leg muscles.

But What About the Pain?

I noticed right away the coolness of the menthol working, however, it wasn't the kind of intense cool that just distracts from the pain. After about 10 minutes, that coolness faded and I noticed that while the ache wasn't gone, it wasn't screaming. I put the lotion on again at 1pm, in the same areas plus my calves (massaging in the lotion this time). I can say that I noticed a reduction in my pain in those areas all day.

What Makes this Hemp Cream Special?

The ingredients: Aromalief, a vegan product, is made in an FDA registered facility and each ingredient has a Safety Data Sheet and Certificate of Analysis. We buy only high-quality ingredients from reputable suppliers and do our own internal testing for everyone’s peace of mind. 

• Hemp (Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil)- Hemp Seed Oil is full of Omega 3s and 6s that can help to reduce inflammation in the body. The hemp in Aromalief products is completely legal and non-hallucinogenic, so there is no need to worry about drug testing.

• Glucosamine- Your body naturally produces Glucosamine in your joints and acts as a lubricant to help you move joints with ease. Over time or through an injury, you may lose glucosamine in the body and start to experience a “bone on bone” pain. Typical Glucosamine is harvested from shellfish, but the Glucosamine in Aromalief comes through a complex process to extract it purely from botanicals. In addition to being a great vegan alternative, it is also safe to use by those that are allergic to shellfish.

• Chondroitin- You could say that Glucosamine and Chondroitin are the best of friends. Chondroitin is found in the connective tissue of humans and animals and works in combination with Glucosamine to support joint health. It is great for reducing inflammation and repairing micro-tears in tendons and ligaments, but we weren’t happy with the fact that it comes from shark cartilage. We searched for over a year to find a vegan Chondroitin for Aromalief, and through the advances in science and plant-based processes, we found it. Our 100% vegan Chondroitin gives you all the benefits without harming any animals in the process.

• MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)-This rich nutrient that can help reduce joint & muscle pain and lower inflammation particularly in people that suffer from arthritis. As joints degenerate, your movement and mobility may be limited and start interfering with daily activities. The sulfur in MSM has been shown in studies to slow down joint degeneration. It is also great to speed up the recovery process after intense exercise by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.

• Arginine-This little known ingredient is one of the most important in the Aromalief formula and NOT available in most pain-relieving creams. It was discovered by Swiss chemist Ernst Schulz, in 1886 and has a variety of benefits including helping the regeneration of cells to help heal after surgery. For pain relief, arginine transforms into nitric oxide when it enters the body. The effects of nitric oxide are to open blood vessels wider and improve blood flow. This makes it extremely helpful to reduce inflammation, but also to help all the nutrients in the Aromalief cream to deeply penetrate and nourish the body.

• Menthol- The cooling effects of menthol will give you a refreshing, yet gentle feeling to soothe your tired and stressed body. Unlike other products that smell like terrible, the menthol in Aromalief is mild and used primarily to enhance the sensorial experience of our cream.

• Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice)-There are few plants out there as versatile and beneficial to humans as the Aloe Vera plant. Known for its properties to protect the skin, replenish moisture, and even help to nurture burns and cuts, this miracle plant has been used for thousands of years starting with the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Greece. It is harvested around the world and grows primarily in tropical climates.

• Other ingredients such as lavender, spearmint, citrus, and almond oil are present. Click here for a full list of ingredients.
