An All-Natural Pain Reliever, it Quickly Reduces Surface Pain When Applied to the Skin

JointStart Topical is an all natural pain-reliever and analgesic, designed to quickly reduce sharp surface pain, when applied to the skin. The base ingredient is MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane), a naturally occurring sulfur compound renown for its’ anti-inflammatory benefits, which also has the ability to inhibit pain transmission from the nerve endings.

Combined with the MSM is a mixture of remarkable essential oils gathered from around the world. These oils have both a traditional and scientific reputation for treating arthritic conditions, and injuries to muscles and connective tissues. These oils have been blended together for synergistic effectiveness and with the aim of making the combination pleasant smelling.

Two of these oils, Ginger and Rosemary, contain a transdermal substance called “Rosmarinic Acid.” This carries the anti-inflammatory compounds deep into the tissue, speeding up the analgesic effects and extending them for a longer period of time.

Apply onto painful and inflamed areas, at least 2 or 3 times daily or, use as needed. It is more effective when used following a bath or shower. Use hands to rub into skin, if possible.

JointSTART TOPICAL Ingredients:

Rose Flower Water (Rosa damascena) is used traditionally for its’ ability to hydrate, soften and regenerate the skin. Its’ place in this formula is mostly for what it contributes to the total fragrance, since JOINTStart Topical is based on aromatherapy fragrance principles, as well as its’ topical analgesic benefits. Since those in pain tend to have corresponding emotional problems (frustration, depression, anxiety, worry, etc), and the longer one has been in pain the worse the psychological and emotional symptoms, this formula is designed to address these issues, along with the physical pain, through the use of aromatherapy principles. This allows us to get a dual effect from the use of essential oils, providing greater benefit to the user.

Black Pepper Oil (Piper nigrum) is ideal for circulation and is often massaged into sore muscles and joints. It is used to treat sport injuries, arthritis and rheumatism.

Benzoin (Styrax benzoe) is a resin used as a fixative in perfumes (to “hold” the other lighter fragrances). It increases circulation and eases the aches and pains of arthritis and rheumatism, and relieves sore muscles and stiff joints caused by overexertion.

Fir Needle Oil (Abies siberica) from the Siberian Fir has an anti-inflammatory action that helps to relieve sore muscles and joints. It has a light, refreshing fragrance and stimulates the immune system.

Juniper Berry Oil (Juniperus communis) has a fresh, woody scent and helps to relieve anxiety and stress. It encourages circulation and relieves muscle discomfort. Juniper can reduce the pain of muscle spasms and the aches of arthritis, backaches and rheumatism.

Marjoram Oil (Origanum marjorana) provides a warm woody fragrance and is commonly added to pain-relieving blends for sore muscles and joints. Its warming action increases flexibility and range of motion. Useful when a calming influence is needed during times of stress or insomnia.

Pine Oil (Pinus sylvestris) from the Scotch pine is added to blends to stimulate circulation and soothe sore muscles and joints. It is used to treat arthritis, backaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, gout, rheumatism and sciatica. Its’ fragrance qualities ease exhaustion and mental fatigue.

Mandarin Oil (Citrus reticulata) has a soft, smooth orange scent adding a fruity top note to the fragrance. It is a favorite to relieve tension, anxiety and insomnia. Mandarin is included here for its contribution to the total fragrance of the formula, and for its psychological benefits.

Rosemary Oil (Rosmarinus officinalis) stimulates circulation and soothes sore muscles and joints. Used therapeutically to treat pain and swelling in arthritic conditions, muscle spasms, sprains and strains. The fragrance is used to relieve stress and nervous exhaustion.

Ginger Oil (Zingiber officinale) is a spicy, warming oil useful throughout the body. It encourages circulation and has trans-dermal properties, helping the formula to penetrate deep into the tissue. Ginger is considered an analgesic and has a reputation for arthritis and muscle spasm, especially in the lower back.

Lavender Oil (Lavandula latifolia) eases the pain and discomfort of muscular aches, spasms, and injuries. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory that works on a wide range of conditions. Lavender is used to strengthen the nervous system and balance the emotions, relaxing the mind and promoting mental well-being.

Rosewood Oil (Aniba roseodora) has a woodsy, rose-like scent that balances most essential oil blends and provides uplifting and strengthening qualities. Rosewood is added to this formula to enhance the fragrances and because of its’ ability to strengthen the nervous system and balance the emotions.
