Growing up in Colorado, playing in the outdoors is a way of life. With that play comes plenty of cuts, scraps and bruises. In high school and college I was an avid rock climber, and if you want to talk about rough hands, look at any climber and you will see the definition of dry cracked hands.
One remedy that I quickly learned about was a product called Joshua Tree Climbing Salve. This beeswax based product works magic on dry crack skin, healing it almost instantly. J-Tree Salve, as I affectionately call it, has become a staple in my medicine cabinet, even after giving up climbing years ago. The cool, soothing salve moistens skin deeply, allow it to naturally repair itself more quickly.
What is it and how do you use it?
It is no secret that the power of CBD and the hemp plant has become more popular in the main stream market. Since their humble beginnings of producing a great product specifically aimed to climbers, Joshua Tree Skin Care has upped the natural healing power ante with their new CBD Warming Balm + Arnica + Menthol.
Soothe your aches and promote recovery with 1,000mg CBD plus Arnica and Menthol in this luxurious warming recovery balm. This potent blend of CBD derived from the hemp plant uses the natural power of Arnica extract and the cooling properties of Menthol relieves soreness and inflammation from arthritis, tendonitis, and the wear and tear of your active lifestyle.
CBD Warming Balm is to be applied sparingly and messaged generously. This warming balm is designed for going deep in your massage. It stays lubricious for 10+ minutes and is great for targeted self massage or partner massage. The next time you are sore from a big day of riding or hiking, give this stuff a shot!
Active ingredients?
There are four active ingredients in the Joshua Tree Warming Balm; CBD, Arnica Extract, Menthol and Clove Essential Oil. *information provided by manufacturer.
CBD (from hemp) naturally promotes pain relief & recovery. Some research indicates that Full Spectrum CBD has the highest efficacy, as all 113 Cannabinoids work in concert together. This Full Spectrum CBD is below the federal legal limit of 0.3% THC. If you want to avoid THC (thats the molecular component that can make you feel "high") look for our THC Free Isolate products.
Arnica Extract: Fresh, whole Arnica flowers slow roasted for two weeks to extract the naturally occurring anti-inflammatory Helenalin.
Menthol: In addition to anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, organic menthol provides a soothing cooling effect and stimulates circulation.
Clove Essential Oil: A natural warming agent to soothe and stimulate blood flow.
What is it like?
The Joshua Tree CBD Salve has a great soothing feel as soon as it is applied. The product stays lubricious just as stated which makes this a great massaging aid. When applied you will immediately feel the cooling sensation of the menthol, followed by the loosening of tight muscles and joints. I suffered from a bad wrist injury several years back and this product works great for loosening up my tight hand as the result of a wrist fusion. The effects are lasting making this a great daily use option.
Initial reactions?
I have long been a fan of the Joshua Tree Skin Care products so this new product is an easy win for me. The great skin healing benefits that Joshua Tree Skin Care is known for with the added benefits of CBD, Arnica and Menthol to help with body stiffness and soreness. I felt immediate relieve from the tightness I experience in my hand every day, leaving my hand feeling much more mobile and with far less stiffness and aches.
Should you use it?
I would highly recommend this product for anyone seeking relieve for body stiffness and muscle soreness. I was very impressed how little amount of product was needed to cover the needed area and how well it stayed lubricious to allow the use of less product to get the needed massaging completed. This is a great option for those working long days with their hands or after a big day of playing hard. Apply directly to the area effected by stiffness and soreness and be prepared for that to melt away leaving you with a soothing calming effect.
