Description
Battle Balm is a natural, plant-based topical inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine and designed to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s healing process. Unlike conventional pain relief creams, Battle Balm combines both cooling and warming actions to penetrate deep into the muscles and joints, making it especially helpful for soft tissue injuries, muscle soreness, and chronic conditions like arthritis.
It comes in three strengths:
-
Original Strength is perfect for everyday aches and pains. It’s commonly used for arthritis, bruising, swelling, and even mild skin irritations—gentle but effective. You can even apply a small amount around the sinuses and will open up clogged or irritated sinuses. Gentle enough for middle schoolers and older children for every day use and mild injury from sports. (Younger children may find it “too spicy” because of the camphor and menthol.)
-
Extra Strength offers a stronger formulation for moderate, acute, or chronic pain. It’s a great starting point for those new to Battle Balm and is often used after the initial 72-hour window of an injury to help with recovery.
-
Demon Strength is the most powerful option, ideal for intense sports recovery, severe swelling, and post-surgical rehabilitation. It’s often used in clinical settings as an alternative to ice to accelerate healing, improve circulation, and enhance long-term recovery.
Free of parabens, petroleum, mineral oil, sulfates, silicone, artificial colors, and animal products, Battle Balm is cruelty-free and made with clean, botanical ingredients. Ingredients (everything marked with * is USDA certified organic):
beeswax*, jojoba oil*, menthol, camphor, cajeput*, wintergreen*, arnica*, calendula*, safflower*, field mint, notoginseng, sappan, corydalis, lavender, tea tree, angelica, myrrh, quince, frankincense, and burr.
Application Method:
- There are 3 techniques that people have when using topicals:
- Set & Forget – Apply Battle Balm to target area and let it work.
- Rub it In – Massage Battle Balm into the target area to help circulate blood and improve penetration of the balm.
- Hot/Cold – Apply Battle Balm to target area using either of the above two techniques and then apply a heating pad or ice pack.
Whether you’re managing old injuries or recovering from new ones, it’s a go-to tool for natural pain relief and tissue repair.
