Have to get used to the scent. Reminds me of the smells of narrow streets in Kolkata, India
I use this in all my pain blends. It is very effective.
My absolute favorite oil for pain. The relief is almost instant and lasts several hours
I use this oil for any pain and the effect is immediate relief. I mix black pepper for circulation. Wonderful oil.
It took a while to use this because the smell is not terribly appealing to me, even though it's kind of minty. However, the rewards far outweigh that minor issue. It has a substantial and fairly immediate effect on severe aches. I've used it for peripheral pain and muscular pain with outstanding results.
This effectively ease my tension neck pain when blended in massage oil.
